Milan, Italy – Brazilounge is one our the most successful collections
for Difference Music. It focuses on the new musical trends from Brazil today.
For Brazilounge 3, the label has selected 30 fundamental tracks of new
Brazilian electro-world-beats, that offer a wide range of genres in that
electronic groovy way such as Bossa-Nova, Forró, Samba, Ambient, Fashion, Jazz
and others.This new Brazilounge is special. It features
some of the best remixes from the Original Soundtrack of the motion picture Cidade de Deus (City of God), that received an Oscar nomination from the
Hollywood Academy.
The artists featured in this album come from the states of Pernambuco, Rio de
Janeiro, São Paulo and Salvador da Baía. This can explain the differences among
them, but there’s always the common feel of the relaxed and positive way of the
being Brazilian.
In this double CD you can listen to some of the cutting edge artists and
producers of Brazilian electronic and world music today. The first CD (Urban) shows mostly the big metropolis trends while the second
(Leisure) reflects more the spirit of the traditions.
