 Thievery Corporation: Bateau Rouge (Feat. Lou lou Ghelichkhani)

Saudade

A welcome return for Washington duo Thievery Corporation with a new long player titled - Saudade - the name borrows its title from a Portuguese word meaning “a longing for something or someone that is lost, a contented melancholy, or, simply, the presence of absence.” 

A record devoted entirely to the Brazilian-born genre that first connected the duo. In a world cup year for Brazil, the country is attracting plenty of attention and the native music that inspires so much of the western world will be all around us in Europe this summer. Eric Hilton and Rob Garza have always been inspired by the Brazilian sound and this record showcases the beauty of it. Gentle sambas and bossa novas infused electronica with classy and sultry female vocalists. Oozing sunshine from every pore, perfect for late night chilling on a hot summers night watching fire-flies and sipping Caipirinha. 

Drawing influence from classic Brazilian performers like Antonio Carlos Jobim, Gal Costa, and Luis Bonfá—along with Serge Gainsbourg, Ennio Morricone, and more modern artists like electro-samba pioneer Isabelle AntenaSaudade achieves its delicate yet deeply sensuous sound with the help of more than a dozen guest musicians. With each track sung by one of five female vocalists (including longtime Thievery cohort LouLou Ghelichkhani, newcomer Elin Melgarejo, Nouvelle Vague singer Karina Zeviani, Argentine chanteuse Natalia Clavier, and former Bitter:Sweet singer/songwriter Shana Halligan), the endlessly mesmerizing album also features such guests as U.N.K.L.E. drummer Michael Lowery, Argentine singer/songwriter Federico Aubele, and master Brazilian percussionist Roberto Santos.
