Although he's only released a handful of singles over the years, Italy's DJ Farrapo - aka producer Giorgio Cencetti - has long been regarded as one of the unheralded talents on the global nu-jazz/broken beat scene. Here, he goes some way towards increasing his reputation with a bright and breezy set dripping with Brazilian flavours. With a range of Brazilian vocalists in tow, Alien Na Favela touches on samba, jazz, hip-hop, carioca, broken beat and jazz-funk. The enjoyable originals are also joined by a vast set of remixes from Brazilian producers, giving Alien Na Favela the appearance of a successful cross-cultural collaboration.
