This week musica coolica is kind of a big deal for two reasons. First, it is the year anniversary since I started doing musica coolica. Hahahahah, ok, that really isn’t that big of a deal. The other thing is that Reagan and I will be headed to Brazil, on Friday. So, in anticipation of our trip, I thought that I would share a bit of Brazilian music. The group is called “Bonde do Rolê.” They are from Curitiba, which is in the very southern part of the country.

I first discovered them on a Diplo remix album called “Decent Work For Decent Pay, Collected Works Volume One.” As it turns out, Diplo actually produces these guys. They have a kind of interesting sound. The Brazilians call it Baile funk, which means dance funk. The song I’m sharing today has a really bouncy sound to it. Some may find it absolutely annoying. I think it is great. The name of the track is “Solta O Frango,” which translated literally means “set the chicken free.” It is slang for “let loose.” Give it a listen, if you need a pick-me-up.

    So I feel kinda cool because I know this song. But not cool enough to have found it on my own. I think it was on a Calvin Klein music CD when I worked there or maybe it was on the radio but I have heard it and I like it.

    So I was needing some new music today so I created a pandora station with a bunch of your la musica coolica. Should be good and an interesting mix. Though Coldplay didn’t make it. Sorry.

    @tammy: Cool, Tammy! FYI, your comment reminded me that I can fire up Pandora again today, since my 40 hour-per-month allotment started over, yesterday. Hahaha. So thanks! 🙂
