Fred Jorge e os Maiorais
Self-titled Released 2012 "The debut album by Fred Jorge e os Mairorais contains a fine selection of heavy-hitting dance-worthy beats!".
- WorldMusicCentral.com "A mix of soul, funk, samba, afrobeat and hip-hop are the spicy ingredients for a perfect hot summer evening!" - Brazilian Blend (the Netherlands) "This album is the new guard in Brazilian Funk, it salutes the glory days of the Black Rio movement and effortlessly incorporates the trademark composition of American Funk". - KBCS 91.3 FM - Raizes |
Micheline Cardoso
Cascadura Samba Released 2011 "Without doubt Cascadura Samba is one of the most remarkable Brazilian albums of 2011".
- Brazilian Blend (The Netherlands) "There are so many styles and genres that it's hard to categorize it. Micheline has a large voice, reminiscent of Joyce's early career, had her early career been today". - Brazil Vital (Toronto) "Instead of the celebrated roots, the music of Cascadura Samba is more of the fruit. Dangerous ground and bold experimentation and reconstruction" - ZiriGuidum.com (Brazil) |
DJ Seduce
Brazil:Sambossica 3 Released 2011 "Sambossica 3 is a refreshing experience that gives you a little bit of the best from Brazilian music. From beginning to end, Sambossica 3
is a very nice work." - About.LatinMusic.com (Spain) "The overall production of the album is superb & the song choices were spot on. The first half of this album is full of strong material but the second part is even better". - Sounds and Colours (UK) "These guys keep on coming up with the goods – the kind of overlooked, underground contemporary Brazilian grooves we might have missed otherwise! - Dusty Groove America |
DJ Seduce
I Love Bossa Nova Released 2009 "You've outdone yourself again! Your newest album is "Grammy quality" in my estimation. I
will be playing the heck out of it during the next couple of months on Canta Brasil!" - Canta Brasil Radio "The younger generation of interpreters and composers of música brasileira are keeping Bossa Nova alive, Afro Baile's "I Love Bossa Nova" is a wonderful example of this nova bossa-nova. This CD is definitely worth adding to your collection" - KBCS 91.3 FM - Raizes |
DJ Seduce
Brazil:Sambossica 2 Released 2009 "The best compilation at this time for now sound Brazilian music. Once you heard it, you get "hungry" for more!"
- Brazilian Blend (the Netherlands) "A second great set of Sambossica grooves! like the first volume, there's a heck of a lot of great work here we've never heard before -- proving again that the folks at Afro Baile are doing a great job of reaching out to some great lesser-known artists" - Dusty Groove America "The latest from DJ Seduce is perfect Friday-night, get-you-in-the-mood music, or inspiring Saturday-afternoon sounds for dancing" - Latino Perspectives Magazine |
DJ Seduce
Brazil:Sambossica 1 Released 2008 "Brazil:Sambossica by DJ Seduce is one of the most refreshing compilations in recent times. Made up by new Brazilian talent it gives us an idea of the new sounds being produced in Brazil today..."
- Brazilian Hour w/ Sergio Mielniczenko "Material that's right up there with some of the best material from labels like Far Out or Trama" - Dusty Groove America "The sound is the audio equivalent of a curated samba through low-key lounges & high-energy clubs, with DJ Seduce as the tour guide!" - Desert Living Magazine |
