Neguinha Te Amo, the third disc from Daúde reveals a mature, unique female voice within this emerging scene. She manages to fuse the quintessential Brazilian languorous sensuality and innate vivacity with a muted dance beat of blips, beats, samples and 'deconstructing' rap-narratives that rise from of the Brazilian urb. It's a dialogue in which Brazil wins out.
At her best this Bahian singer - raised in Rio - takes you to impossible beaches lit by fizzing neon, to retro 70s bars shimmering with beautiful people and onto Varig flights attended by demure Angolan stewardesses.
This all makes for a thrilling experience of the swinging, sensuous nexus of Brazilian felicidade-saudade (happiness mixed with longing).
