Our selection for album of the month this time is Sabrina Malheiros’ Vibrasons, this magnificent album is an excellent collection of remixes of her songs. Sabrina is an outstanding brazilian singer who has a vast heritage beacause of Alex Malheiros, her father, who is a bass player from the legendary Brazilian band Azymuth. Her grandfather played with Sergio Mendes and was the first Brazilian to manufacture an electric bass, she also studied music when she was 6 years old, and by the time she was 12, she had made her recording debut singing lead vocals on the title track of Azymuth’s 1991 album, Curumim!

All this knowledge and effort has given her the possibility to work with great artists, like the japanese Acid Jazz act United Future Organization when she was just 19, after that she recorded 4 songs for a movie soundtrack included there was the highly successful track, Dancing in Rio with Paulo Williams.

On her debut album Equilibria the sound contains mainly Brazilian sambas and bossas, all the melodies and rythms reflect in some way a little piece of the musical roots of Brazil but at the same time sounds contemporary and elegant, this extraordinary album was so great that it was screaming for for a remix, so some great artists and producers were involved in creating incredible remixes, people like: Kenny Dope, Quantic, Nicola Conte, Boston Rodríguez, Max Cole, Spiritual South and many more, therefore it is not a collection for DJ’s beacuse there are too much styles and tempos each one of them contributing with their personal trademark, and also compiling Sabrina’s tracks to build up an ultra-rhythmic and sophisticated compendium.

Sabrina explains, “Vibrasons is a play on words, it’s a combination of Vibração (vibrations) and Sons (sounds). I love all the remixes as they breathe new life into the tracks.”
