Synopsis

Album Description
The Rough Guide To Brazilian Hip-Hop presents some of the grittier sounds and funkier beats from Brazil?s homegrown rappers. Arriving in Brazil with break-dancing and graffiti, the hip-hop movement spread from the main centres of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro across Brazil, and the doors were opened to the national rap movement in the late 1990s. Mixing rap with samba, soul, reggae, bossa nova, acid-jazz, poetry and rock, the tracks featured on The Rough Guide To Brazilian Hip-Hop are a sampling of the most innovative sounds of Brazil?s hip-hop generation.

CD Reviews

Surreal and shining
WorldDiscoveries.Net | Petaluma, California | 11/17/2004
(4 out of 5 stars)

"BRAZILIAN HIPHOP opens with a surreal Beatles-like drone of electronica with echo and repeat, then merges smoothly from scratch echo to the hiphop chants of Se Tu Lutas the Conguistas in 'Somos Nos a Justica'.

 You may think a knowledge of Portuguese would be essential to a Brazilian hiphop collection: not so: even without such, BRAZILIAN HIPHOP shines with its blend of Latin foundations and new, modern singers.
