Rubel

As Palavras, Vol. 1 & 2 (2lp)

Some albums are game-changers in a genre. Take OutKast's 'Speakerboxxx/The Love Below' or Primal Scream's 'Screamadelica,' they observe, study, and then flip what an album can mean to a genre or moment in time. From the very first listen of Rubel's Latin Grammy-nominated third album 'As Palavras, Vol. 1 & 2,' you can feel its transformative force for the MPB genre. Here we see one of Rio's brightest stars, fusing the contemporary with the classic, soaking up the richness of Brazil's musical heritage. The result is a marauding 20-track epic, incorporating traditional styles such as forró, MPB, pagode and samba with modern baile funk, rasteirinha and hip-hop.
