Achados E Perdidos

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
São Paulo's Curumin (aka Luciano Nakata Albuquerque) brings us a confluence of cultures on his infectious debut album Achados e Perdidos. The album recalls 70s samba funk at its best, channeling musical greats like Jorge Ben, Milton Nascimento and Tim Maia, but peppered with modern flourishes from jazz and funk to hip hop. You'll hear egg shakers, Juno synths and scratching all in the same introduction, and later on an operatic chorus, an overwhelming orchestra, his raspy Portuguese croon conveying the urgency and passion of the music of Brazil.

5 out of 5 stars A Secret of the Southern Hemisphere.......2005-10-14

It is no new thing to hear artists blending hip-hop with other musical influences, but why did it take so damn long to throw in some samba, and bossa nova? Well Curumin has taken the lead in this department, creating an album of such electic variety, it somehow blends into one seamless goulash of flamenco guitars, obscure samples, reggae bass lines, synth loops, soulful vocals, and some bad-ass grooves to boot. This album's got everything, but it never seems disorienting or forced. Some tracks are for vibin' out, others for getting derty on the dance floor, but all if it is neccessary and enjoyable. Spread the word about this guy. He's gonna be huge. And he deserves it.

And oh yes, buy the album NOW.
