sonantes_cover.jpgI was marveling that next week is the unofficial start of summer (it doesn’t feel like it yet). With the summer comes new, good musica to listen to at the beach, pool, or bbq. Today Six Degrees Records released the debut album Sonantes. This year Brazil celebrates 50 years of bossa nova and the debut album of this Såo Paolo musical collective features some of the newer well known voices of the genre like Céu The album was recorded not in a traditional studio setting, but rather mostly at home and the entire 10 track cd overall is sexy, in a moody languorous way, one that reminds me of sitting with a caipiriña, thinking of a lost love or plotting my next conquest.

It’s a low key album that doesn’t scream “listen to me” but rather serves as the perfect soundtrack for lazy summer days and nights. Some of the songs like, Miopia and Toque de Coito featuring Siba, sound sad, as if full of longing, even with it’s electric guitar and synthesizer sounds.

One of the most fun tracks on the album is Mambobit, which is “poppy” and nostalgic and I dare you to try and not move with Quilombo Te Espera.

Start your summer 2008 playlist with Sonantes.
