Take a dash of most '80s dance style you can name from electro to hip-hop, from new romantic to the cheap Casio beats of early dancehall, mix and match them wildly, and you pretty much have funk carioca. Having grown up in the favelas, or slums of Rio de Janeiro (hence the name carioca), it has started to find a more global audience. This, the first compilation of the style, shows it in all its ragged glory and silliness. Yes, it does sound odd to many ears, simply because everything is so familiar -- but also so strange, like Alice down the rabbit hole. Above all, it's fun. Unless you understand Portuguese, you won't have a clue what they're shouting -- and it is a shout, not rapping or singing -- but it doesn't matter. The exuberance communicates, whether in cheap synthesized horn riffs or rattling percussion. MC Batata, one of the elders of the new funk, rips it up on "Feira de Acari," but he's only one of many represented here. This is the first wave, and it remains to be seen whether it will really take off outside Brazil. But if you want a crash course in the '80s as if it had been through a blender -- as well as something that's just fun to dance to -- this is it. ~ Chris Nickson

While the film DRUMLINE is based around a group of youngsters who play in a marching band at a Southern college, there's not much drum-corps music on the soundtrack. In keeping with the pop-cultural milieu of the film, most of this disc is occupied by contemporary hip-hop and R&B tracks. On the one hand, there are frothy soul concoctions from young sirens such as Nivea, Alicia Keys, and Syleena Johnson. On the other, there are hard-hitting rap cuts by Petey Pablo, JC Chasez, Too Short, and others. Other than a brief percussive foray at the top of the track listing, the actual marching-band music is saved for two cuts at the end, whose swinging polyrhythms dip heavily into funk and hip-hop, serving ...

Slum Dunk Presents Funk Carioca
CD $10.75  3.1 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
A one-time member of New Orleans's Hot Boys, rapper Lil Wayne attained a new level of confidence and skill on 2004's THA CARTER. That album featured only a few guest shots (as opposed to typically star-studded hip-hop records), and this 2005 sequel once again keeps things focused on Wayne, with the MC flying solo on almost every track. This uncluttered scenario, which relies on a spare, yet distinctly Cash Money-style musical backdrop, gives Wayne the freedom to let his laid-back rhymes stretch out, as best revealed on the ominous "Fireman" and the boastful "Best Rapper Alive." Clearly Wayne knows how to work a winning concept, since THA CARTER II stays true to both its predecessor and the relentless, unapologetic spirit of Southern rap. Although his first studio album in three years has been long-awaited and repeatedly delayed, Lil Wayne has been anything but absent. Since THA ...

The Wood Brothers' debut album is a tense and hushed affair full of weighted lyrics peppered with words like truth, faith, spirit, and soul and more angels than you can shake a stick at, and each song seems tipped right at the edge of indecision and confusion. These are largely Oliver Wood's songs, with his brother Chris Wood (of Medeski, Martin & Wood) adding bass and backing ...
