Curió Curió

Mr Bongo • 2026

It gets off to a flying start with the opening track, ‘Tô Chegando’, which Curió Curió piece together into a sort of MPB mini-symphony using Brazilian rhythms, funk bass, cosmic synthesisers and easily digestible fusion jazz. Curió Curió infuse their songs with samba rhythms, 70s disco beats, 80s Linn drums and elements of funk, soul and psychedelia, as in the wonderfully strange ‘Raiz’. On the surface, the Brazilian sun seems to shine through every song, but as a Brazilian in exile with two homelands, Luiza Monteiro explores questions of identity and cultural contrasts in her lyrics.

Das geht schon gut los mit dem ersten Song »Tô Chegando«, den Curió Curió mit brasilianischen Rhythmen, Funk Bass, kosmischen Synthesizern und leichtverdaulichem Fusion Jazz zu einer Art MPB-Minisinfonie collagieren. Curió Curió versehen ihre Songs mit Samba-Rhythmen, 70er-Disco-Beats, 80er-Linn-Drums und Elementen aus Funk, Soul und Psychedelia, wie etwa im großartig seltsamen »Raiz«. Vordergründig scheint aus jedem Song die brasilianische Sonne heraus, aber als Exil-Brasilianerin mit zwei Heimaten beschäftigt sich Luiza Monteiro in ihren Texten mit Fragen der Identität und der kulturellen Gegensätze.
