Carlos Dafe & Adrian Younge
Jazz is Dead 25
Brazilian soul singer Carlos Dafe collaborates with producer Adrian Younge for an album blending Brazilian music traditions with Younge's cinematic soul aesthetic. The production features Younge's signature analog warmth - live strings, vintage keyboards, tape saturation - providing perfect framework for Dafe's vocals. Dafe's voice carries genuine soul while his songwriting draws from Brazilian popular music traditions. The arrangements honor both artists' strengths, creating music that sounds authentically vintage while serving contemporary ideas. This is essential listening for fans of Brazilian music and retro soul production, demonstrating how cross-cultural collaboration can create music that transcends either tradition while honoring both.
