Finally on vinyl!!! Welcome to the revolving musical door that is Moreno, Domenico, and Kassin. The vanguard of a new generation of Brazilian musicians, heirs to a family heritage of Tropicalia and Samba, respected producers, the three artists whose unique mix of traditional Brazilian songwriting with the quirky beats, loops, and noises of contemporary electronica is defining the sound of New Brazil.<br/><br/>Moreno, Kassin and Domenico were childhood friends from school. They formed a band and made three albums, each one under a different one’s name. Their records are different and very influential in Brazil. Morneo is the son of legendary Brazilian musician Caetano Veloso. You can hear him at age 8 on the first Luaka Bop release (“Beleza Tropical”) singing the words “Ilê Ayê” on Caetano’s song of the same name. Moreno’s record is to some extent the most conventional of the three, even though Domenico, the drummer, plays drums on a sampler and cymbal sounds using sand paper.
