Nobody is more locked in to the undergrounds of Brazil than Joe Osborne. Under his Brazilian Wax moniker, he has become a key player in an Anglo-Brazilian cultural exchange, bringing Brazilian artists to UK labels, recording top Brazilian musicians, and hosting them for exclusive recorded concerts at his workplace The Crypt Studio.
A couple of years ago, he produced the compilation Hidden Waters: Strange & Sublime Sounds of Rio de Janeiro which was reissued by Mr Bongo last year to acclaim. Today, he joins the Mr Bongo Takeover to update us on the current wave of talent coming out of O País Tropical. Featuring no less than 20 tracks and 5 exclusive premières over an hour, this expansive and eclectic show covers jazz, MPB, indie, electronics, and experimental territories.
