First order of business is: Curumin. Following much in the tradition of Tropicália, Curumin is a modern Brazilian artist who plays funky jazz-rock with elements of the Brazilian classics, samba and bossa nova. Not only is the music fun and danceable, but the Portuguese words are of course beautiful. Enjoy a few songs!

To make sure that their covers are significantly different, the singer they use for each song has to be unfamiliar with the song she sings. It produces great covers that are very interesting in their difference from the originals, and still sound really good.
