It just sounds ultra-polished, like stereo-separated, hear every instrument perfectly, Sergio Mendes Brasileiro 1992 production style. Not a sound I prefer personally either.
picked up 2 new releases that are new takes on some essential Brazilian recordings
Orquestra Afro-Brasileira (produced by Mario Caldato Jr!)
they put out 2 holy grail records more than 50 years ago, the one surviving member got a new crew together and they've done some shows and put out this LP, a mix of songs from the old records and some new ones I think:
Letieres Leite & Orquestra Rumpilezz - Moacir de Todos os Santos
RIP to the one Letieres Leite, who should really have been breaking out internationally with this but died earlier this year before the record got released. This is his take on Moacir Santos' Coisas LP, and Letieres was the one dude really carrying on Santos' musical legacy.

So on Nuova Napoli it was Nu Guinea and now it is Nu Genea. Can somebody explain?
yeah I was confused too. Maybe it's some kind of rights issue?

Played the CD repeatedly for a week and it is not growing on me. At all.
2 bassists? Not seen that move since Ned's Atomic Dustbin.
Nice.
r4nd4zzo himself breaks down the bassline here (on IG):
I love this bassline! Jamz 4 dayz, thun.
