This song ought to be large. A crossover, summertime, feel-good hip-hop song if there ever was one.
I'll be honest and admit I had not even heard of Marcelo D2 until I heard this one on Gilles Peterson. I LOVE Brazilian music, but can't say I've heard very much Brazilian hip-hop at all (besides DJ Nuts mixes). Got to fix that!
D2 appears to be quite the don of the Brazilian hip-hop scene. From what I quickly listened to, he seems to have a nice grasp of a lot of different Latin music and (more importantly) knows how to blend that with quality hip-hop (I noticed his blog has a video of Souls of Mischief "Never No More").
But is all about the samba samples in most of his stuff, including this one from last year's LP.
Marcelo D2 - Desabafo
Plus a bonus (to already break my 'one song a night' conceit). The original:
Claudia - Deixa Eu Dizer (1973 Odeon)
