Musicness
Da Rocinha, from Sango, delivers Brazil-gone-bass: “funk carioca” taken to the future. The unsubtly-titled “Tremendo o Bumbum” delivers throbbing low-end theory layered with chopped drums and vocals. “Não Solta Não” hints at what a South American slow-jam by M.I.A. or Santigold would sound like; “Passinho Kudoro” and “Todo o Mundo” are both uptempo bangers for a dirty basement party;Great stuff on this well-produced and nicely-fused EP off of Soulection.
