I'm still a little hung up on Slumdog Millionaire, and wanted to tack onto The Truth's post about World Music from a couple days ago. So I think a track from another highly impoverished shanty area that has captured my heart is appropriate.
This song dropped in my inbox courtesy of an amigo who studied music in the favelas of Rio De Janeiro, and I am completely obsessed with it. It has a frenetic energy that really embodies excitement, and uses abrupt cuts to create a stuttering rhythm that is both fluid and disjointed at the same time. I've never really heard anything quite like it, which is saying something. This track comes from a compilation called "Rio Baile Funk: Favela Booty Beats". Hard to beat that. I'm currently looking for more tracks from these guys, and I'm definitely going to hunt down this album. Hopefully the other tracks live up!
Furacão 2000 - Mengao 2000
I'll throw in another Spanish language track, just since I'm on that sort of kick. This one comes from Los Orishas and is completely contrary to the Furacão piece - smooth beat, smooth pipes, very laid back feel. This one definitely gets stuck in my head and pumps for days.
Los Orishas - El Kilo
