Info: Over the last few years and up to present times a new wave of DJs, musicians and producers are reshaping Brazilian modern music for the contemporaries. From bossa nova to MPB, from jazz samba to 70′s samba fusion and batucadas; the rhythms and the music can be heard in techno, drum’n bass and more over in the nu jazz movement. Compost Records is and has been at the forefront of it and often, from Jazzanova to Moonstarr, a little ahead of it. Rainer Trüby is a key figure of the movement and the “Glücklich” compilation series is just his view of the state of art.

Quotes: Excellent. Just when you thought the Latin-dance explosion was getting tired, this comp reminds you why it got so big in the first place.
