new release out: Satanique Samba Trio – Cursed Brazilian Beats vol.1

hey all, new release out by the Brazilian quintet Satanique Samba Trio, from the capital Brasilia.

For the fifteenth time, actually. After such an extensive carreer of Brazilian Rythm flasking, though, it is the first time they ramage through the Brazilian Northern traditions: in Cursed Brazilian Beats Vol. 1, they have a go at traditional styles such as the carimbó, the toada, the lambada and even the lesser-known guitarrada.

Out digitally or as 7inch limited edition single in cardboard artwork sleeve.

Stream here or buy digitally / 7inch on Bandcamp.
