Banda Black Rio, led by saxophonist Oberdan Magalhaes, pioneered the soul funk movement of Brazil in the 70's. Often they'd been called the Earth, Wind & Fireof Brazil. Now the band have been revived by Magalhaes' son William and he has brought this revival the Far Out Recordings, which is probably the best label for modern & progressive Brazilianmusic. This revival has the passion & spirit of old again linking Brazil & New York for a feel good blast of soul funk that also takes in hiphop, samba, pop & bossa. The album including a few guest appearances from Brazilian legends & icons including Cesar Mariano, Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Elza Soares, Seu Jorge as well as GOD PT3 from NYC famed Mobb Deep Crew.
