Perhaps this is the most unique work released on Cocada so far, however it is certainly the best way to illustrate the plurality and diversity that we seek with each new release. It is an honor to sign for the first time with a band and if you are a fan of Brazilian music, we have no doubt that the original and creative sound of Nu Azeite will delight you.
The project was born from the union of two creative minds from Rio de Janeiro: Fabio Santanna and Bernardo Campos. Fabio is one of the most prolific musicians in the wonderful city. He played the keyboard with MPB stars like Marcos Valle, Elza Soares, João Bosco, Lenine and many others, in addition to being the owner of Nave studio in Copacabana, a space dedicated to recording artists of all types.
Bernardo is one of the best DJs of Disco and House Music in Rio de Janeiro. DJ Resident of the famous RARA party and Pato com Laranja bar, he opened and closed dance floors to legends such as Moodymann, Laurent Garnier, Derrick May, Carl Craig, Kenny Dope, Derrick Carter, Detroit Swindle, Miss Kittin and many others.
This partnership culminated in the encounter of different music styles, a clash between MPB and House Music, also bringing Funk beats with 80s aesthetic of Disco Music, originating in a tropical and jazzy identity with a lot of groove. "Me Deixa Louca" is the first of three singles that will be released before the full album, which will be composed of 7 tracks. Until it arrives, travel back in time with the nostalgic beats of Nu Azeite and glide on the sweet vocals of Bia Barros who collaborated in a magnificent way on this genuinely Brazilian track.
