Bonde Do Role: Música Novo
A few months ago, BONDE DO ROLE signed to esteemed British indie Domino Records. A BDR full-length will be coming out later this summer...but until then, the band has a couple of great new singles out. Maybe the Domino lawyers spent some time explaining copyright law to Bonde Do Role, or maybe it's just the fact that Diplo took on some of the band's production duties...but to my ears the two new tracks are a significant step up musically from the highly entertaining but very sample-centric songs that Bonde released in 2006.
"Gasolina" is the new 12-inch/CDEP on Mad Decent....it's got Afrika Bambaataa namechecking and some awesome synth tuba oompah-farts. Highly recommended, check it out on the Bonde Do Role MySpace player.
"Solta O Frango" is the forthcoming Domino single with what seems like more of a "traditional" Rio-baile-funk vibe. Equally hot, check out this great video. I promise it's got a lot more than just cows in it...
Bonde Do Role hit the Local 506 stage in less than 24 hours! Yes, it's an earlier show than normal so the band should be playing right around 11PM-ish. The ERECTRO/LOCK guys will get things started with an awesome dance mix.
BRING 'EM OUT!
