Betinho – Saque Saque
As I’ve shown already back in 2011, the Brazilian Novela soundtrack game was no joke. It’s exceedingly rare for me to run into any solid Brazilian records here in LA, and even rarer to run across Novela soundtracks, so when I spied this at the Beat Swap Meet, I scooped it up quick fast. As you can hear, there’s a good bit of cracklin’ catfish in the background on this one, but the tunes are so incredible, and as far as I can tell exclusive to the soundtrack, that I’m sure you won’t mind. Though there are a couple of slower songs on here (especially one from Jacks Wu, who also delivered smoothness on O Cafona), the tracks I’ve chosen are more on the funky side of things. I’m sure you don’t mind that either.
Cheers,
Michael
