<< I keep seeing different descriptions on this list for clubs spinning "Brasilia Groove" but I have no idea what that is, like a samba/jazz fusion sort of thing? I've never heard of the genre before. >> I am heavily into music from Brazil, especially from the 6o's and early 7o's, as well as a few contemporary acts. I think the term "Groove" was coined to refer to anything from jazzy works, to bossa nova, to "tropicalia", in a dj setting, used to create a laid back vibe. The "Brasilia Grooves" can also span outside of its homeland and be found in different countries by artists influenced by the melodies and rhythms, for example Japan's Soul Bossa Trio. I too will add a "plug", The Magic Touch, this coming thursday, be prepared for Brazilian beats, as well as sweetheart soul, northern, latin etc., at the Idlewild, 145 E Houston, NYC. Also, in Philadelphia, keep your eye out for, "Bombay to Brasil", a night "Chetana The Chimp" and I throw, consisting of of Latin, Brasilia Grooves, Sitar Beats and more.
