Bossa Breaks + VACATION
To thank all of you for 100+ downloads of the Beat the Grid EP (in one week!) I've put together a second mixtape for you to enjoy. The music flows seamlessly from track to track beginning with tight bossa mixes transitioning into heady break beat territory going heavy on the percussion. So you can really get into the groove. Trust me you have never heard The Bamboos like this (unless of course you're familiar with this remix). thanks again for all the support. Please Enjoi

Trio Eletrico
Trio Elétrico
trio eletrico is the name of a truck that is fully equipped with a sound system and "blairs" party-time music to the masses durning Bahia Carnival in Brazil. Although I have never been to Carnival in Brazil, I imagine this is what the music sounds like that they play.read more about Carnival here.
In Bahia this party gained its gigantic success in 1950 when 3 (a driver and 2 musicians-Dodô and Osmar)men took a 1929 Ford and took to the streets playing their electric guitars essentially causing people to dance in the streets. It was a major success and its spirit has continued today. The “Trios Eléctricos” (in honor of the 3 men with the electric guitars) has caused multitudes to sing and dance and carnival in Bahia the most unique in the world. The "trios" have grown to huge multi-watt speaker stages on top of moving huge trucks to display all of the popular music/musicians of Brazil/Bahia. It is an amazing theatrical display of sound and something that everyone should see at least once
NEWS + system flow
