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.
