Seu Jorge - The Life Aquatic Studio Sessions (2005)

  

The story of Brazilian singer/songwriter Seu Jorge's life sounds like something out of a Hollywood movie. Born in the slums of Rio de Janeiro, he spent his youth making ends meet, selling drugs and serving in the military. After his 16 year old brother was killed during a police raid, he taught himself to play the guitar and started writing songs. In 2001 Jorge had his breakthrough with his solo debut "Samba Esporte Fino"; one year later he started acting, playing the role of Mané Galinha in the Fernando Mereilles blockbuster "City of God". The idea for the "Life Aquatic Sessions" -an album on which Jorge plays Samba and Bossa Nova cover versions of David Bowie songs in Portuguese- came to him, when he accepted a supporting role in Wes Anderson's movie of the same name. The 13 interpretations featured on the record are of stunning magic and beauty, or how Bowie himself put it:"Had Seu Jorge not recorded my songs acoustically in Portuguese I would never had heard this new level of beauty which he has imbued them with.".

V.A. - Tropicalia - A Brazilian Revolution in Sound (2006)

This brilliant collection documents the peak of the Brazilian Tropicalia movement in 1968. It features a variety of 20 songs that breathe the spirit of an era dominated by free love, the anti-war movement and violent clashes with the authorities. For the first time traditional Brazilian music opened up to external influences, such as Rock and Roll and the psychedelic movement, which results in an exciting experimental fusion of cultures, styles and ideas.
