Verge Records- Inspiring New Sounds of Rio de Janeiro
July 11th, 2007
What unites this collection is the socially conscious messages of the songs, which zero in on urban problems like poverty and crime. The music is a Brazilian miscellany - hip-hop, reggae, pop and funk - and it's at its best when acts like A Filial or BNegão e os Selectores connect with samba and rural Brazilian roots."
