Sabrina Malheiros: 'Equilibria' Album
Described as the first contemporary Brazilian album that measures up to the Brazilian classics of the past, 'Equilibria' is the debut recording from hotly tipped singer-songwriter Sabrina Malheiros. Born in Rio 26 years ago, Sabrina presents a sublime mix of bossas and sambas with touches of hip-hop, r'nb and electronica. 'Equilibria' combines timeless Brazilian songwriting with contemporary beats to produce this year hottest Brazilian debut.
Despite her youth, Sabrinas musical experiences are vast. This comes as no surprise given her musical lineage. Sabrina is the daughter of Alex Malheiros, bassist from legendary Brazilian band Azymuth. Her grandfather Zezinho Malheiros played with Sergio Mendes and was the first Brazilian to manufacture an electric bass. Sabrina is in no doubt of their influence: I grew up listening to Azymuth; their music is fixed in my life. My master is Joao Gilberto, in fact my favourite childhood toy was a Joao LP that I took with me everywhere!
Equilibria is Sabrinas first recording for the highly acclaimed Far Out label, the home of Joyce and Marcos Valle. And as youd expect from Far Out the album features an all star Brazilian cast including all 3 of Azymuth - Alex Malheiros, Jose Roberto Bertrami & Ivan Conti, as well as legendary Brazilian percussionist Cidinho Moreira. Also featured is London-based Bluey from Incognito, while his son, Daniel Maunick aka Venom , takes over production duties, combining that warm Incognito sound with cutting edge electronica and the essence of Brazil, Samba!
Equilibria contains the original version of the dancefloor smash 'Estacao Verao', originally released last summer. With its firing Kenny Dope remix, the single earned critical acclaim and became the best-selling Far Out 12, ever. As world renowned producer/DJ Rainer Truby says, its a Top notch original, a real little gem and has a dope Dope rework taking it to the floor!
Following hot on its heels comes the second single from Equilibria; 'Maracatueira' - an Incognito remix that takes the samba and turns it into an uplifting bossa-jazz-house anthem! Bluey, the master of British Jazz Funk, is on killer form and features none-other than Ski Oakenfull ..s and Venom on mixing duties. From the euphoric string reprise that opens the Main mix you know this is one epic tune - the insistent bossa beat, sweeping strings, Blueys guitar licks and Skis reflective keys make this a tune guaranteed to let the sunshine in..
As the name suggests, Equilibria, is the perfect mix - classic Brazilian songwriting combined with contemporary production guaranteeing this album appeal for both established Far Out fans as well as those people into the sound of Nu-Brazil. click to listen...
