Whenever I discover new music, it always seems to brighten my day. It reminds me of how important it is to try and remain open to all that life can bring. The child-like quality that satisfies when the simplest needs are met.That's how I felt this morning as I was surfing Calbash's Tune Your World and discovered Bonsuccesso Samba Clube. This five member band combines reggae & ska rhythms with Samba and other world elements. Their sound, primarily from the Northeast of Brazil, utilizes more traditional rhythms in their music than the sounds coming out of Rio or Sao Paulo. But it still has a fresh and exciting feel. I've covered some of this before looking at Forro music. Luaka Bop's Brazil Classics 7: What's Happening in Pernambuco, released just last month, is a compilation CD that surveys artists of this region, including established acts like Chico Science and Nacao Zumbi and Otto. Bright up your day with some new-fashioned sounds from another side of Brasil.
