Details:
Boca do Rio releases their second album with the soulful EP, The Dam is Breaking. These five tracks present new beats and old traditions in an eclectic mix of organic songs and sounds. The lyrics are sung in both English and Portuguese and topically range from love in the time of climate change to a young prodigy growing up in the favelas (slums) of Rio de Janeiro. The musicians have lived these songs in live performances throughout the Bay Area and the sound is translated into a deep understanding of the harmonies and rhythms of daily life in Brazil. The songs are profoundly respectful of past traditions but are clearly syncretic and forward-looking, heralding the arrival of an organic blend of lives lived between the Americas, where electronica meets the skin of the drum and all the saints dance!
