WHERE THE HOKEY POKEY "IS" WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT

Pernambuco groove
Artist:
Album: Bob
Track: What's Up in Pernambuco
(4)

I have been so enjoying Fistula Spume's muxtape.com...and I know he's into Brazilian music so this is one of those Casey Kasem dedications.

It's also my favorite cut from the really wonderful What's Up in Pernambuco, which collects mangue beat pioneers and their followers.

This one's called "Bob". It's by Otto, one of the original mangue beat guys, and it just kind of shimmers, doesn't it?

It's a movement from Pernambuco (which is surrounded by a mangrove swamp, thus "mangue") that combines samba and other traditional brazilian forms with rock, funk and hip hop. It's sort of like tropicalia, but updated and more hip hop-ish.
