Praised from Europe to Japan, this amazing diva from Bahia, Brazil has a style
that blends funk, hip hop, and soul with samba, MPB and rhythms from Northeastern
Brazil. The result is truly magical. Winner of the Sharp Award (the Brazilian
equivalent of the Grammy) for Revelation of the Year, Daúde creates well-produced,
thoughtful and entirely funky tracks that take Brazilian music in new directions
while maintaining strong connections to its roots. Gilberto Gil guitarist
Celso Fonseca (who also received a Sharp for his arrangements on this CD)
holds the musical underpinning together in what is undoubtedly one of the most
exciting and creative debut albums ever by a Brazilian artist. "This disc,"
writes The Beat, "with its feverish dance shakedowns interspersed with pensive
numbers, is no doubt one of [the year's] greatest revelations."
We think you'll agree.
