Over the last few days, we've been running a little featurette on Red & Black Music's 4 projects. 💛❤️💜💙

With February being Rio Carnival month, it's worth mentioning Brazilian music has always been close to our heart 💚and in recognition of this, 3 of our projects have Brazilian alter-egos!

Diáspora Brasil adds cool cuts from the tropics 🌴 to the Latino fire of Diáspora 🔥 specialising in the myriad of styles emerging from Brazil from Rio's Samba and laid back Bossa Nova to Bahia's Baião and Samba-Reggae, blending Brazilian influences with jazz, funk and Saudade.

Have a listen to our takes on "Mais Que Nada" and "Lambada" on SoundCloud:

Fiesta Latina adds Festa Brasileira to the mix - dubbed "The Instant Brazilian Beach Party" 🥥🏝 a Caipirinha of classic and popular Brazilian tunes... 🍹🎹

Rory Bossa Nova takes the jazz south of the border. Its sax, guitar and cajon-based lineup focus on jazz and we released "Em Balança" (www.rorymusic.co.uk/em-balanca) 🎷
We've recently put a couple of new tracks on SoundCloud, 2 beautiful songs "Nostalgia Da Bossa" & "E Nada Mais" originally written by Brazilian composer Durval Ferreira:

Tonight, Diáspora took us on a journey through the music of Brazil. From the samba-reggae of Caetano, to the funky MPB of Djavan, to the rich Bossa Nova of Jobim and many more...
​
We experienced the insatiably, sensual Brazilian Zee Filho, the radiance and finesse of Alexandra Soto, the tour-de-force of Cléa Thomasset, a Saudade underpinned by the incredible Balança (side-to-side swing) of Diáspora's rhythm section - Will, Will and Harry, and with Rory on sax, flute and clarinet...
