Brazil Classics 7: What's Happening In Pernambuco

the latest title in david byrne's highly acclaimed brazil classics series. 'what's happening in pernambuco' is the funky flipside of brazilian music - lots of hooky tracks from the bands dominating the coolest alternative scene in brazil. no samba or bossa-nova here - it's an explosion of punk-rock-funk-rap-electronic sound, infused with the roots traditions of the rural northeast. it features eddie, otto, mombojo, vate e violas, junio barreto, siba etc.
