This one is coming from the Facebook updates of my buddy Fabio Góes: Curumin, a young (well, he’s my age, so I’ll call him young!) musician from São Paulo whose music mixes Brazilian beats with funk, lounge, hip hop, electronica, and more. (Curumin, which means 'child' in the indigenous Tupi-Guarani language, is the stage name of Luciano Nakata Albuquerque. The nickname comes from the fact that Curumin started performing at a very young age, and thus was the 'kiddo' among the grown-ups.) He’s still a bit of a hidden gem internationally, but ready to be discovered! I’m posting here ‘Selvage’, which has a newly released fun videoclip (below), and the reggae ‘Doce’, both from his third album Arrocha, from last year. I don’t know his work very well yet, but certainly intend to explore it further in the very near future. (Maybe he’ll be performing in São Paulo somewhere in the coming weeks? That would be great, as I’ll be there for much of the next 4 weeks.)
(And on this note, BMoF will take its usual summer break, unless I come across stuff that requires urgent posting. We’ll be back on August 23rd at the latest.)
