Global A Go-Go presents:
Barro (pictured above) is a singer-songwriter from Pernambuco in Brazil’s northeast, home to some of that vast country’s most interesting pop musicians: Lenine, Nacao Zumbi, Mombojo, Otto and more. Barro’s second album, Somos, was released this fall; I think he’s going to be Pernambuco’s next great export.
Hear for yourself — I’ll play a track from Somos this week in a set of 21st century Musica Popular Brasileira (what Brazilians simply call MPB). Also this week: more from Sudan’s golden age; from J Dilla goes Cuban to South African house in five easy moves; and Afro-funk from hither and yon.
