Anyone listen to Monkey Jhayam or Bixiga 70

[thedovewarlord]

Doing my best to turn my friends and loved ones, but are there any others on Talkbass that appreciate the vibes and grooves of these beautiful artist from Brazil?

Im hoping to learn more, hear some affirmation that they provide the most beatiful sounds. Top be clear I understand zero Portuguese, but I believe right down to my soul they're only singing and pointing towards peace, love, fun, joy and toward God's light.

Thoughts?

for example.... I love this stuff so much

Lyrics translated via Apple:

Ready, my selecta, and put the music

[Chorus]

Today the day went by much faster
When I realized, it was already at the end
It's already another week that it starts again
The more time passes, the will grows inside me
Inside me, the will grows inside me


[Verse 1]

The important thing is not for you to know
It's you to practice, to persist is to win
The stones of the path teach us how to live
You won't regret it, you won't regret it, no
I'm not the one who navigates the sea, it's the sea that navigates me
I'm not the one who navigates the sea, it's the sea that navigates me


[Chorus]

Today the day went by much faster
When I realized, it was already at the end
It's already another week that it starts again
The more time passes, the will grows inside me
Inside me, the will grows inside me


[Verse 2]

Metropolis, chaos on the corners of the metropolis
Fear does not match the metropolis
Carefully step on the metropolis, metropolis
Metropolis, chaos on the corners of the metropolis
Carefully step on the metropolis
Fear does not match the metropolis, metropolis


[Exit]

Today the day went by much faster
When I realized, it was already at the end

Boom

Thank you for the translation @TOGNA

Do you listen to any music from Monkey Jhayam or artists like him?

 

[TOGNA]

This was the first time I heard of them. I like the track.

For dub, my first taste came from Scientist by way of Grand Theft Auto III’s K-JAH radio station, of all things. It played tracks from Scientist’s 1981 album:

Scientist Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires

Bixiga 70 is great. Don’t know the others but I’ll listen through it. There is ALL KINDS of great music coming from Brazil and Argentina right now.

Some Argentine dark pop. Love the retro vibe.


Some Brazilian energy. She is special.


If you don’t know Los Tetas, you’re in for a treat. Great Americanized funk band from Chile. They’re fun.

 

[Killing Floor]

You certainly know her father, João.

@Killing Floor - thank you for sending these recommendations. Enjoyed them.


TATUAJE definitely has that new wave 80's vibe, but something new added.

Sabrina Malheiros has a very nice sound, the rhythms are so interesting and tight, I like the guitar solo also.

Los Tetas are pretty cool, I just added Mama Funk to my library, along with Bebel Gilberto.

Babel reminds me of Thievery Corp's album Saudade, I love that bosa nova tremendously, and that album gets tons of play in my house.
