Sounds of Brazil part 1

Brazilian people love dancing and partying outside. They are very expressive in the way they move and the music that they dance to sounds very lively and joyful.

Here is a taste of a compilation of brazilian dance music hits made for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.



Check out the artists or buy the album on itunes:

Bixiga 70 is a ten piece instrumental dance juggernaut from São Paulo, known for its high octane mix of styles, which encompass American funk, Colombian cumbia and Nigerian afrobeat. Made up of musicians from the city's jazz and avant-garde pop scene, their latest LP, Bixiga 70 III (Mais Um Discos), dropped in 2015 to glowing reviews on NPR and The Guardian, among others.
