Timbalada - Candyall Beat (2005)

Timbalada "Candyall Beat" (Carlinhos Brown & DJ Dero: 2005)
A collaboration with Dero and Nicolás Guerrieri putting down loops, Boghan Costa and Léo Bit Bit adding voices and percussion, and Brown playing almost everything else. But the sound isn't particularly electronic, instead it's relatively heavy on acoustic guitar ("Bocarriba") rather like Carlito Marrón without the salsa influence. And again, Brown pulls a bunch of deceptively simple melodies from his bag of tracks, both upbeat chants ("Sambadream") and introspective mood pieces ("O Gado E A Jangada"). There's more filler than you'd want ("Nabika"; "Cabuleria"), but it's a decent piece of work. I wish I didn't have to mention this, but it's a 2-CD set, with the second disc containing excruciating dance remixes of nearly every song from the first disc. The mixes are endless and dull, with an overbearing emphasis on the basic pulse, so the tunes which were pleasant the first time around lose their luster ("Mariacaipirinha") and the stuff that was so-so becomes unbearable ("Favelatecno"). Use Disc 2 as a coaster while you're listening to Disc 1. Produced by Brown, Dero and Guerrieri. (DBW)
