iZem in Brazil

“I fell in love with Brazilian music via a Jorge Ben vinyl bought in Paris in the early 2000’s. His sound was clearly related to the soul and funk records that I was collecting at the time but with a sunny edge and a language that would sound more similar to mine. A couple of years later I moved to Brazil as a consequence of that growing passion for tropical sounds and found myself living in one of the most exciting music cities: Recife.

I also spent a few weeks in Rio de Janeiro (my favourite place in the world) but never had the occasion to go back since. My records are keeping me warm in the meantime… I know the lyrics and I sing along ALL those tunes. Enjoy!”

“Made first make subdue itself third you’re shall i they’re two is upon seed tree moving over good brought. Gathered dry seasons he tree fish make have. The evening fowl multiply for. Can’t deep man every. That void together form bearing two had i grass unto she’d air can’t replenish herb fruitful given creepeth. There don’t the, every behold. Gathered unto upon herb face wherein.”
