RhoDeo 1633 Roots

Hello,  a sensational end to the pole vaulting tonight favourite LaVillenie cruised up to 5.98 but then a local boy Thiago Da Silva bettered his personal best with 11 cm and managed himself up to 6.03, Gold for Brazil.  Falling smartly over the finish got Shauna Miller the gold, Felix had to make do with silver. David Lekuta Rudisha proved his previous gold win was no fluke as once again he proved no one beats him at the 800 meter.


The music of Brazil encompasses various regional music styles influenced by African, European and Amerindian forms. After 500 years of history, Brazilian music developed some unique and original styles such as samba, bossa nova, MPB, sertanejo, pagode, tropicalia, choro, maracatu, embolada (coco de repente), mangue bit, funk carioca (in Brazil simply known as Funk), frevo, forró, axé, brega, lambada, and Brazilian versions of foreign musical genres, such as Brazilian rock and rap.


Today as the energy of the Olympics has been fully released, something to get up to speed .......N'Joy

Latin music specialists Mr Bongo have assembled an overwhelming compilation in BRAZILIAN BEATS. Though it's probably targeted at the advanced listener, these discs are so diverse and consistently surprising that it's just as likely to ensnare the curious Brazilian music novice too. From the Batucada, funk and Masters at Work treatment on BB1 to the classic samba sould on BB2, BB3 offers up a selection of house gems. BB4 is crammed with Brazilian legends such as Ive Mendes, Marky and Juca Chaves, while BB5 brings in the hip hop of Marcelo D2 and BB6 features some amazing remixes of cream of Brazil s tracks. BB Brooklyn focuses on 70s Brazilian funk, while BBn Pieces brings the whole series together in an impressive yet sympathetic turntablised, cut-up mix. From spaced-out percussion jams and old-school piano sambas to bossa-flavoured house and heated baile funk, this eight-volume odyssey through Brazil's many styles offers a master class in the country's dance culture.

These 8 albums i'm posting this and next week can be bought in a box set for the gimme price of just 16 pounds! (19 Euros or 22 dollars) Brazilian Beats Boxset

Brazilian Beats, Volume 3 is a survey of what was popular in Brazil around the turn of the century, at least in clubs Brazilian Beats, Vol. 3 songs. BB3 was the first in the series to feature cutting edge, new music sourced from Brazil, which we went on to champion on the label. This included the likes of Ive Mendes, Paula Lima, Clube do Balanco, Mr Hermano and the most successful Brazilian musician in recent times, Seu Jorge. Primarily put together for the dancefloor, there are a few tracks that look back to more traditional Brazilian sounds, but most often the emphasis is on dance.
