"In the Sixties there was tropicalismo: now, the current Brazilian musical fashion is for topilectro, a blend of synthesised samba variants hailing from São Paulo, whose most prominent practitioner is Maria do Ceu Whitaker Poças, or Céu (sky or heaven). Céu has the seductive, sun kissed croon of a latterday Astrud Gilberto, but couched in a musical esperanto that draws on dub reggae, samba, scratching hip-hop, jazz piano and various native Brazilian guitar modes. Producer Beto Villares creates a series of light, springy grooves which developp momentum over the course of five minute. Céu's plaintive voice is well-suited to a cover of marley's "Concrete Jungle" realised as an acoustic samba-reggae groove percolated with odd gurgling noises, while elsewhere "Ave Cruz" is a tropilectro take on hip hop."
