'Tanto Tempo'

Tanto Tempo made Bebel Gilberto the biggest selling Brazilian artist since the 1960s. Chances are, she beat out her dad, João Gilberto.

It is technically electronic bossa nova, which I assume refers to the type of instrumentation used on the album, although it sounds pretty organic to me. Or as organic as you can get in modern music.

I've really taken a big interest in Latin music. Honestly, it stems from an article I read about the prog-rock band Mars Volta when they released the album Frances the Mute, which featured a number of notable Latin artists.

Since, I've become a slave to the beat.
