Azymuth: Partido Novo (2002)

A delicious new album from Rio's finest, 'Partido Novo' finds Azymuth in reflective mood. Covering a range of styles, with jazzy interludes and soothing Bossa Novas giving way to 70s space-age funk and traditional Brazilian sambas.
Partido Novo is their 5th album for Far Out. Still going strong they have added a special chilled touch along with plenty of gorgeous melodies and vocals. Partido Novo translates as broken or off-beat and accordingly tracks feature a dirtier, heavier sound with funky 70s soundtrack vibe as well as the usual samba magic with a mellow wistful summery twist. Blending past and present, this is a brand new album of broken funk and blissed out beats from Brazil's legendary group.
