Penrique - Polo
He describes his style as modern and composes using a midi keyboard and software, yet his sound has a nice layered Latin feel that percolates. Listening to Baion Media de Luna is reminisce of watching the hip swaying Brasilerias in the clubs of Sao Paulo after midnight, hypnotic !
Another track I've added to my iPod is Rencuentro. It has a haunting melody that's tender and simple but it's the percussion and keys accentuating a tight rhyhm that keeps this gem from being anything but bland.
With a nod toward the Nu Bossa sound, the track Itaparica captures the cool of Bossa yet it's steadily looking forward with an interesting musical lead voice. Is that a vocorder I hear, Penrique ? Either way, the smart intrumentation and use of counter melody play, makes this very listen-able track a standout.
I discoverred this instrumentalist last year cruising the web for free mp3s and hit a gold mine. Well, it looks like deja-vue, all over again. He's added several new tracks to Download.com, and the older ones are still available there, for a total of 21 FREE mp3s to download. Not all are brazilian-inspired but there's bound to be something for your musical taste here, techno, NuJazz, Rock, R&B, etc. Thank you, Penrique for sharing your creativity.

Hello. Congratulations on your blog.
I am Penrique ( Polo ) and I thank you for your generous comments on my music.
I can tell you that I have many new songs since my last upload in download.com almost a year ago. They are not there for lack of space.
If you care to listen to some you only have to tell me where and how I can send them to you.
Penrique ( Polo)
PS. In case you wonder why the two names, my artistic name is Polo but it was already in use at download.com
