Not entirely sure about he cover image but what with Julia Mestre and Dom Glori, Mr Bomode as Zé Ibarra adds a third prong to their summer attack with the album 'AFIM'.
If Don Glori is on the edge of Brazilian soul-jazz (see review HERE) and Julia Madstre's 'Maravilhosamente Bem' is at the "dreamy pop" end (see review HERE), where does that put Zé Ibarra's 'AFIM'?
Well, it a perfectly compact eight tracks that cover MPB history as in the likes of Caetano Veloso, Tim Miai and Arthur Verocai plus the modern nu-wave of Bala Desejo (see review HERE); in fact, Dora Morelebaum co-wrote 'Essa Confusão' (also check out Dora's album 'Pique' - see review HERE).
As well as being a member of Bala Desejo and having a previous solo album releaed a couple of years ago, 'Marquês, 256.' in Brasil and Japan, he's also toured with Milton Nascimento!
I'm not sure is unique cover version of another Brazilian singer/songwriter, Sophia Chablau's 'Segredo' is going to 'crossover' but the rest of the album is multi-directional and will turn lots of heads.
