Arrocha is the latest from Afro-Japanese-Brazilian artist Curumin. It’s been almost four years since Curumin’s last record, Japan Pop Show, but he’s lost none of his genre-defying style. Arrocha shifts effortlessly from big beat funk to more psychedelic tracks to the more soulful and just downright tender, such as my favorite on the album, “Paris Vila Matilde.” LA Peeps, Curumin will be in town shortly, playing at the El Rey along with another Brazilian phenom, and another personal favorite, Céu, on June 21st!!!
