Cut of the Week 02/23/10

Forro In The Dark is a band that originated in NYC and is comprised of Brazilian ex-pats who made a name for themselves performing for years at NuBlu in the East Village. Their cross-cultural approach incorporates elements from a variety of sources: Brazilian forro (See Episode #4 for more), latin jazz, rock, funk and reggae. Their first album, Bonfires of São João, included guests such as the legendary David Byrne and Bebel Gilberto. This track is a reggae-infused song that is a really light and fun defense of Bob Marley's legacy. It's off their newest album, Light a Candle. Enjoy.
