Grammy-nominated Canadian ensemble, BADBADNOTGOOD, present the
latest edition of Mr Bongo's iconic Brazil 45 boxset series

Hailing from Toronto, the band who now comprise of Alexander Sowinski, Chester
Hansen and Leland Whitty, made their name by crossing genres and developing a
distinctive amalgamation of jazz, hip hop and psychedelic grooves. Their rise to the
forefront of their scene, has led to collaborations with icons such as Tyler, The
Creator, Kendrick Lamar, MF Doom, Samuel T. Herring (Future Islands) and Ghostface
Killah. With a penchant for an earworm hook, their sound takes cues from across the
globe, both past and present, not least from the wealth of music that has emanated
out of Brazil over the last 70 years.

Beatmakers, musicians and record collectors at their core, the infuence of Brazilian
music on BADBADNOTGOOD's productions is clear to see, with previous collaborators
including Arthur Verocai and Tim Bernardes. It seemed only right then, to hand them
the reins for the next edition of our signature boxset series. As ever, the brief was
simple, compile a selection of your favourite Brazilian cuts from the country's rich
musical makeup.

Delving into their love of Brazilian music from the '60s up to the current day ,
BADBADNOTGOOD's selections work like a beloved mixtape, taking you on a journey
through time and genres. Starting with contemporary tracks from O Terno and their
sublime, skippy string- laden number 'Tudo Que Eu Nao Fiz', to Chico Bernardes'
heartfelt, slowly simmering folk track 'Ate Que Enfm'. Elsewhere, Menahan Street
Band and Roge's modern-anthem mood lifter 'Tropical Man' feels like a timeless funky
Brazilian classic, and listeners are treated to Bala Desejo's Dora Morelenbaum at her
most serene and ethereal on 'Vento de Beirada'.

There's also a deep dig into lost Brazilian treasures. First up, a beautifully haunting,
psych- folk obscurity taken from Naire 's self- titled 1974 album. This is backed by
Guilherme Coutinho and Grupo Stalo 's genre- shifting, trippy- pop anomaly 'Rio
Corrente', echoing successive bands such as Stereolab and Belle & Sebastian.
Alongside it, a much- loved classic from Antonio Adolfo E A Brazuca ,
'Transamazonica', sits side by side with a dose of 1966 bossa-jazz excellence from
Som/3.

Closing out the boxset, the deepest and most experimental selection comes from
Sebastiao Tapajos and Pedro dos Santos' quirky guitar and percussion 1972 track
'Despedida de Mangueira'. This is paired with a heroine of the keys and underground
Brazilian musical great, the musician / vocalist Ana Mazzotti and her track 'Agora Ou
Nunca Mais'.

A captivating collection of sought-after tracks crossing genres, decades and tempos,
offering a glimpse into BADBADNOTGOOD's eclectic tastes, whilst exploring ever
further the richness of Brazil's musical history.

Grammy-nominated Canadian ensemble, BADBADNOTGOOD, present a sublime
selection of some their favourite Brazilian tracks, both classic and contemporary.
