Achados E Perdidos

This is one of the best albums ever. Althoough we don't get alot of Brasilian music in the sates, Currumin has become very popular with Joga Bonito. After I found out who that was in the background I had to here more. I'm standing by Samba Japa as the best international song I've ever heard!

It is no new thing to hear artists blending hip-hop with other musical influences, but why did it take so damn long to throw in some samba, and bossa nova? Well Curumin has taken the lead in this department, creating an album of such electic variety, it somehow blends into one seamless goulash of flamenco guitars, obscure samples, reggae bass lines, synth loops, soulful vocals, and some bad-ass grooves to boot. This album's got everything, but it never seems disorienting or forced. Some tracks are for vibin' out, others for getting derty on the dance floor, but all if it is neccessary and enjoyable. Spread the word about this guy. He's gonna be huge. And he deserves it.

And oh yes, buy the album NOW.
