I wasn’t quite sure what to post today (a good friend suggested an album by Francis Hime and Guinga, according to him a real gem, but I haven’t had the chance to check it out yet – maybe for next week!). Then, Sublime FM, the radio station I listen to in the car, came to the rescue. They play the occasional Brazilian song, and one that they seem to like quite a bit is ‘Quero ver você no baile’ by singer Paula Lima, below the fold in a live version. I first came across her in the late 1990s, as one of the singers of Funk como le gusta (a band I posted about before), and now she has been enjoying a fruitful solo career for quite a few years. So here you see what happens when samba meets funk -- good stuff! (And I don’t mean funk Carioca, about which I still have mixed feelings...)
