This gem of an album proves once again that for the moment, São Paulo must be one of the world’s most fertile places for making music.
The album is a collaboration between the singer CéU and members of the groups Nação Zumbi and Instituto, the album also features a cross-section of guest stars, including Pernambuco-born Siba and new-jack producer Apollo 9.
The biggest surprise is that these are live recordings, not programmed beats. Each and every sound is a physical act, an interchange between musicians who are listening to each other, making it all up as they go.
Created by fun-loving musicians out for a good time, Sonantes lives up to its all-star potential.
