Deep Brasil
“Deep
Brasil” is a musical
project by the legendary ethno-ambient electronic band “Deep Forest” which was released in 2008. Yet another magical
fusion of ethnical twists with the beats of Brazilian beats. Eric Mouquet’s
beautiful composition is flavored by the voice of Flavio Dell’Isola.
The
project sends a strong and vibrant message about deforestation, extinction of
species and the stake of indigenous people. The music “Africa Brasil ”
demonstrates the rich influence of African music and the cultural coincidences
in the Brazilian community. This music will trigger the listeners to move their
feet on the rhythm of the Afro-Brazilian beat. The music showers praises on the beauty of Brazil, its large
lush green tropical rainforests, large deposits of fresh water, animals and
plants living in diversity, cuisine and energy of people. The “Deep Brasil”
offers large dollops of mixed emotions, bliss and love, embarking a new level
of co-existence between humans and nature.
