| Tita - vocal Tita Lima myspace Tita Lima Felipe Roseno - percussion Felipe Roseno Special guest - Oliver Husmann (Git) Tita Lima - 11:11 (+Contest!) Tita Lima is the daughter of Liminha , bassist in the Brazilian rock band Os Mutantes . With 11:11 she dares her first solo steps, after playing and singing with dozens of popular musicians. Tita mixes up the Brazilian sounds of MPB ( Musica Popular Brasileira ), samba and bossa nova in a dub-rich setting. Leaning towards latin jazz at one point, and to hiphop on others, 11.11 is the ideal record for enjoying a glass of wine in the afternoon sun. Best 30 seconds of the album: Tita singing along to the funky trumpet solo in "A Conta Do Samba" like a true jazz muse. The song is a personal favorite of famed DJ Gilles Peterson , and I'm a fan too: check that delicious wah-wah guitar! Gradually, this record became the soundtrack of my springtime 2007. There's something about a sensual female voice singing in an unfamiliar language that makes me long for a sunny patch of white sand. Tita Lima has that warm, mellow sound of voice that will enchant you, and the rich and soulful arrangements highlight her vocal talent perfectly. A must for this summer! |
