A lifelong devotee of Brazilian culture, Gilles Peterson was recently offered the opportunity to fly out to Rio de Janeiro and record a new album.
It's an opportunity he seized with both hands. Forthcoming release 'Brasil Bam Bam Bam' finds the DJ recruiting some legendary Brazilian musicians for a relaxed recording session.
