Parada Cardiaca
CD (Item 499175) Kali C (Brazil), 2009 -- Condition: New Copy
An album that's as sonically striking as the image of Kali C spattered in paint on the cover -- funky rhythms, soulful vocals, and some really offbeat production -- almost like a Brazilian take on the sorts of grooves we've been digging from Tru Thoughts over the years! There's definitely a hip hop influence in the production, but the record's far from hip hop -- really just an extrapolation of its core production essence, taken to a range of funky territories, and mixed with sharp-edged live instrumentation in ways that almost represent a second generation of the big Brazilian wave of music we came to love in artists like Otto or Lenine. Like both of those artists, there's enough acoustic instrumentation here to really ground things -- and Kali's vocals are undeniably charming throughout -- soulfully expressive, past the boundaries of language -- and with a warmth that really humanizes the record. Titles include "Corro Sim", "Unhas", "Um Deus", "A Verdade", "Cigarro", "O Beijo", "Viro Bicho", "Sobre A Assunto", and "Parada Cardiaca". © 1996-2010, Dusty Groove America, Inc. | ||||||
