Sonzeira is the new project from tastemaker Gilles Peterson, and marks the first release on Talkin' Loud in over a decade. An incredible journey through the different flavours of authentic Brazilian music culture here, merging the rich musical heritage of Brasil with ccontemporary Brazilian styles. You can hear the afro-brazilian, batacuda, bossa nova, heavy sambas and the Tropicalia, soulful sound all here. As Gilles describes it "a kind of Buena Vista meets club culture".
