You could hardly call Brazil a country with no musical tradition - after all, it's only produced a range of styles from the samba through the bossa nova right up to the political Tropicalia movement of Gilberto Gil and others. Now put against that, Time magazine claiming Max de Castro "just might be the most original musical talent to have come out of Brazil in three decades" and you've got yourself quite a statement. But the reasoning is a simple as it is convincing: Max de Castro "blends disparate genres - samba, bossa nova, drum 'n' bass, hip-hop and soul into futuristic music that echoes the past." He delivers poems to fit a hip-hop beat, paraphrases classical popular music, for example by Baden Powell, recites, and modifies - a true magician of sound.
