[MP3] Gilles Peterson’s Sonzeira – Brasil Pandeiro

Another track from Gilles Peterson‘s Sonzeira project paying homage to his life-long love of Brazilian music. Peep more on it here:

‘Brasil Pandeiro’ is a rework of the original 1940s track written by Assis Valente; on vocals it features Emanuelle Araύjo, who you may have heard on the amazing rendition of ‘Southern Freeez’ which was released as a limited edition 7″ for Record Store Day. Also featuring is one of the most prolific musicians on the Brazilian samba scene, Arlindo Cruz, on the Cavaquinho [small guitar].

[MP3] Sonzeira – Southern Freeez

This one is for all my London and UK soul boys & girls and those who respect & understand that culture! This remake from a forthcoming Gilles Peterson-produced project and was released for Record Store Day yesterday. Here’s more details:

Taken from Gilles Peterson’s new album project Sonzeira, “Southern Freeez”, featuring Emanuelle Araújo on vocals, is an electronic bossa re-work of Freeez’s famous UK jazz-funk hit, due for exclusive release on 7” for Record Store Day Saturday 19th April.

The album Sonzeira – Brasil Bam Bam Bam features all new material produced by Gilles Peterson and is the product of him being a fan and a champion of Brazilian music in the club and on the radio for last 25 years; culminating in him bringing together the country’s finest artists all on one record for the very first time – under the artist collective Sonzeira.
