This album is a follow-up to the 1996 "Red Hot + Rio." Red Hot + Rio 2 is a modern tribute to the late 60's Brazilian Tropicalia movement. Proceeds from the sales will be donated to raise awareness and money to fight AIDS/HIV and related health and social issues. I am 1/3rd of an amazing band named THA BOOGIE, and I must say that we were stoked to play a part in this project. Along with many other amazing acts such as : John Legend, Beruit, Cults, Dirty Projectors, Neon Indian, Madlib and Joyce Moreno, the list goes on. This album will shed new light on the songs of this influential, politically charged era, which changed the culture of this country forever.
