O Rappa - Rappa Mundi (1996)

Review by Alvaro Neder
Rappa mundi is an album from the Brazilian rap/funk/hip-hop/pop band O Rappa. Covering their own material as well as other composers', they stick to a danceable world concept. Brazilian music is sparse here, mostly present through some incidental instrumentation. Some classics revisited in the band's drive, such as the classic Tropicália tune "Vapor barato" and Jimi Hendrix' "Hey Joe."

3. Vapor Barato - Macalé, Waly
4. Ilê Ayê - Camafeu
