BATIDA
Bom Bom feat. Mayra Andrade
This single announces the return of Batida (aka Pedro Coquenão), who feels that Bom Bom is his most personal song to date.
To be released on April 22 by Crammed Discs, the song talks about leaving a dark place and aiming for the individual and social good (“bom”). It was recorded with the precious collaboration of renowned Cape Verdean singer Mayra Andrade. The first meeting between Mayra and Pedro took place several years ago, but it was the confinement that brought them together. Exchanges of views on the planet, on values and on common words such as equity and dignity, melodies shared by sending audio sketches via mobile phones, all this ended up with a meeting in the studio, to transform this batida (literally “beat”) into a dance anthem.

São Paulo Confessions
Serbian-born musician/composer Suba was about to become one of Brazil's most prominent producers when he tragically tragically passed away in November 1999.
Suba left us just a few days after the release of his now-legendary album "São Paulo Confessions" (probably the most inspired album of electronic music to have come out of Brazil), and shortly before the completion of Bebel Gilberto's "Tanto Tempo" album, which was graced by his outstanding production work.
"São Paulo Confessions" has become a major cult album. It can be described as a soulful journey through the southern hemisphere’s largest megalopolis.
Based on a great mixture of acoustic + electronic beats & instruments, it contains several memorable songs, including "Felicidade", "Sereia" and "Tantos Desejos”, 3 songs which marked Cibelle's recording debuts. Also appearing are vocalists Katia B and Taciana, as well as Nordeste band Mestre Ambrosio, master percussionist João Parahyba, and poet/rocker Arnaldo Antunes.
