Who doesn't like Brazil? Even when reduced to its finer stereotypes: beaches, carnivals, coffee, rain forests, soccer, models, fiery foods, and waxes, Brazil is richly endowed. Not to mention the crazed amount of sizzling electronic groups oozing out of Brazil these days......(CSS, Bonde do Role, etc..) But Brazilian soundmaster Curumin escapes most stereotypes by weaving manifold influences into a passion pot of electro samba-funk flavor. Born of Japanese and Spanish parents (Sao Paulo has one of the highest populations of Japanese outside of Japan), Luciano Nakata Albuquerque goes by "Curumin", a Portuguese term reserved by indigenous Brazilians for their more precocious children. His song "Caixa Preta" (i.e. "Black Box" in Porguese) will remind you of the energy of Manu Chao, with more street, hip-hop fire, and splashes of native Brazilian samba and baile funk.

Sounds Like: Bonde Do Role, Novos Baianos, Manu Chao, Mexican Institute of Sound
