This record is a merging of musical cultures, styles and production, firmly keeping its Brazilian roots alive and is a celebration of the music from Rio De Janeiro infusing Electronica, Samba and Funk. Joe Davis and Roc Hunter conceived Mamond and, loaded with a lap top and various other tools, they flew to Rio and employed some of
the finest musicians, many of which were great friends of the label. One key person was Ivan of Azymuth who helped co ordinate many of the songs and arrangements for the album. All the material was laid down during intensive recording sessions in Copacabana and took almost a year to complete.
This diverse album includes last year’s afrocentric hit ‘Que Coisa So’ featuring existing members of Banda Black Rio (Rio’s legendary funk group of the 70s) on horns and percussion from King Salsa (Brazil’s only salsa orchestra). Many tracks feature fresh talents like the ethereal vocals of Gabriella Geluda on title the track
‘Paradise’ and ‘Noite De Verao’ and Cidinho Moreira on percussion.
