I was wondering if anyone could provide some enlightenment on these new sounds coming out of Brazil.
I've picked up Diplo's Favela On Blast and I've been checking out h0mee's collection (big up, mms), but I've found very little written about this music.
I'm wondering who's making it. Where is it being played? Are there riddem-type tracks floating around for people to rhyme over or is it more song based? I'm also curious whether it has any connection to the Mangue scene, which I've read about but never heard. It sounds like there might be some overlap between the two, at least in terms of their approaches to recombining/indigenizing imported musical elements.
Any insight would be much appreciated.
Cheers
