STEW 052CD

2003 release. Although the Brazilian record industry has been centered in Rio de Janeiro and dominated by a few multinational companies since its beginnings in the early 20th century, it's been shaken up quite a bit in the last 25 years as distinct music scenes have formed in cities as far apart as São Paulo, Salvador, and Recife, and independent studios and labels have asserted themselves. Now there's more to Brazilian music than samba, bossa nova, and MPB, though those styles continue to inform new styles, as do funk, punk rock, hip-hop, acid jazz, dub, and EDM. This is the phenomenon presented in Urban Brazil, which features singles, remixes, and previously unreleased tracks by some of the most innovative Brazilian artists of the time, including Chico Science, the originator of mangué beat; his Nação Zumbi bandmate, Otto; the genre-mashing DJ Dolores; BiD; BoTECOeletro; Thaide & DJ Hum; Max de Castro remixed by Rica Amabis; Nery Bauer; Instituto & Sabotage; João Parahyba; Rappin' Hood; Drumagick; Eddie; Mamelo Sound System; Funky Como le Gusta; and Wilson Simoninha.
