The Inspiring New Sounds of Rio de Janeiro

From the impoverished, violent streets of Rio's favelas (slums) to the higher levels of affluent, high-strung youth comes a cross-genre, hip-hop sound that is winding, explosive, engaging, honest and powerfully rhythmic. The Inspiring New Sounds of Rio de Janeiro puts an ear to the exploratory pulse emanating from one of the most culturally diverse and economically divided societies in the world. What emerges is a collection of energetic songs that masterfully blend Brazil's traditional dance beats with today's new urban sound.
