Friends From Rio – Friends From Rio Project 2014
An everlasting echo of Far Out’s most formative roots, the Friends From Rio story began 20 years ago. Updated sporadically over the two decades, this opus is the series zenith as some of the most significant label friends collide for an set made almost exclusively of original recordings (bar an outstanding cover of Jorge Ben’s universally renowned “Mas Que Nada”). Written and performed by the likes of Alex Malheiros, Hyldon, Carlos Dafe, Aleh Ferreira, Robertinho, Sabrina Malheiros and many more talented Brazilian musicians we shake, shuffle and slide across the Rio soundscape from the sharp horn punctuation and disco bubbles of “Fogo No Chao” to the slinky lounge jazz of “Veneno” via the vibrant Hammond sprinkles of “Lembrancas Do Lincoln”. Whether you’ve been on Far Out’s journey from the beginning or you’ve only invested in your first Latin one-way ticket, this is an exceptional adventure.
