Introducing: Farrapo & Yanez (Album Out Now on Agogo)

Its with great pleasure that i see Farrapo and Yanez masterpeice "Alien Na Favela" of an album finally on the streets, released by Agogo Records. Its been coming for a long time, and heavily timetested on my stereo since Farrapo gave me a copy of the unmastered album when their EP was about to hit the streets.

He almost convinced me to break the UWR codex of no albums..

I asked Farrapo what inpired him to do this album: The principal inspiration for our album is it simply brasilian music, that is it so rich with many different styles. In particolar you can listen the influences from north est of Brasil. We mixed brasilian regional styles with urban electronic sounds and rhythms, trying to keep an organic groove. 

Knowing Farrapo, you know he has a thing for cooking, just check this video by Tele Cocina from his visit in Copenhagen last year.

So it felt natural also to ask him what dish he would be cooking to Alien Na Favela: ehhe ..... music and food are two big passions for me and in several of the tracks I've produce you can find connection to the food. For Alien Na Favela I would cook a typical "fejoada" but using some "guanciale", that could rapresent the alien inside the favela.

Do check his mix of the album and his EP on UrbanWorld. Both fantastic releases.
