Here’s a song I heard last week from one of the Solid Steel Podcasts I wrote about in the last post. The original song is from Rosalia de Souza who is a Brazilian vocalist who has been living in Italy since 1989 and makes electronica tinged bossa nova songs.
This song is a remix of a song from her “Brasil Precisa Balancar” album from late last year. The original is a very slow smoky piano based tune but this remix by Gerardo Frisina speeds the track right up adding an upbeat percussive rhythmic section combined with Rosalia De Souza’s hypnotic vocal sample. Add in plenty of bossa nova piano and horns and you’ve got another song for those summer days. The song is available only on vinyl and can be bought here but here’s an mp3 for your enjoyment.

I found Rosalia’s first album by way of the album’s producer, Nicola Conte (who I found because that Acura commercial tune was stuck in my head to the point of making me absolutely mad.) That album, Garota Moderna, is a gem. After nearly two years with it, I’m not tired of any of it. Wait, let me cue it up again… there it is, ahhh. Now I don’t want to be unfair, but just as much as that is her album, it is also Conte’s album. Rosalia’s sweet vocal talent is the perfect match that takes the Conte tracks to a higher plane; however, those tracks are signature Conte and they never let you forget it.
I skipped the remix album, Garota Diferente, and couldn’t find the newest one yet at my local indie dealer.
Thanks for sharing 🙂
