SINCERELY HOT

Moreno, Kassin and Domenico were childhood friends from school. They formed a band and made three albums, each one under a different ones name. Their records are different and very influential in Brazil. Morneo is the son of legendary Brazilian musician Caetano Veloso. You can hear him at age 8 on the first Luaka Bop release (Beleza Tropical) singing the words Ile Aye on Caetanos song of the same name. Morenos record is to some extent the most conventional of the three, even though Domenico, the drummer, plays drums on a sampler and cymbal sounds using sand paper. The next release, Domenicos, had the greatest success in the indie world, while Kassins album is the most produced (which makes sense as he has become one of the most successful producers in Brazil).
