Brazil, 2004, avant-folk

Naná Vasconcelos e Itamar Assumpção – Isso vai dar repercussão: Barely longer than an EP, this album is short enough for anyone who just wants to kick back with a set of cute, playful little toe-tapping tunes that have plenty of varied instrumentation packed in to keep things interesting. I mean, at one point, someone’s banging on milk and spaghetti pots as percussion. This’ll resonate, even if you don’t understand Portuguese.
