Trip do Brasil (Sony)
Contemporary Brazilian music is unmatched in its ability to move people on the dance floor, and this classic compilation certainly belongs in your party collection. The 13 tracks delight listeners and party animals for over 75 minutes, blending Brazilian vibes and electronic beats.
Our favorite picks include Bossa Rosa by Jose Padilla, and Descarga by The Capoeria Twins. Un Café by Magenta is also superb, and the rest of the tracks round off the material very well.
For interested fans we would also recommend the Brazilectro series of albums, or the comprehensive Putumayo series of Brazilian compilations.
