Oi! A Nova Musica Brasileira! is the debut release for London-based record label, Mais Um Discos. This is a double CD compilation of new artists from Brazil that has received critical acclaim in the UK. Thought Brazilian music began with bossa nova, morphed into tropicália and then finished with baile-funk? Well, think again. Oi! A Nova Musica Brasileira! is a 40-track 2CD sonic-snapshot of the most exciting new Brazilian music from artists influenced by the likes of Kraftwerk, Massive Attack, Talking Heads, Os Mutantes, Beastie Boys, Sly & Robbie, Sonic Youth, Ween, Robert Wyatt and Stereolab. Oi! is presented with a fold-out A3 color map of Brazil referencing all the artists from South America's largest country. From the jungle-cities of Amazonas to the urban sprawl of São Paulo, album compiler Mais Um Gringo spent the last two years at festivals, gigs & raves across Brazil. Striking allegiances with artists, labels & bloggers representing the new sounds of Brazil, Oi! features a dizzying array of mind-blowing new Brazilian genres fused with folk, indie, tropicália, dub, hip-hop, dancehall and electronic styles. This is a stunning collection of underexposed and at times otherworldly sounds and a compilation that perhaps for the very first time, really gets under the fingernails of Brazil's colorful and hugely original musical underbelly. Includes a fold-out poster with pin-up map and beautiful hand-drawn artwork.
