2-CD SET

The second Outro Tempo compilation takes another dive into the depths of the Brazilian underworld. It brings together music that was made in Brazil in the late 1980s and 1990s but this time rides a different current, drifting away from the rainforest and into the pulsating heart of Brazil's immense and overpowering cities. There is still a pull towards the environment: in the music of Priscilla Ermel and Jorge Mello, where we can hear the acoustic turning on the technological in songs resonating with nature's echo.

And in Tetê Espíndola and Nelson Angelo's sculptural sounds, which bubble with a harmony so fluid that it hovers between liquid and matter. Yet it feels most at home in the raw and ardent cities that became hubs for sonic invention for artists like May East and Akira S. Once more, it moves with freedom between different tribes, guided by an intuition that the musicians that come to the surface collectively laid the foundations for a new golden era of Brazilian popular music that would arrive as the world tuned in to the sounds of global electronica.
