about

Funkiwala Records presents a new version of 'Que Beleza', a Tim Maia classic from his legendary ‘Racional’ period. Originating one London night when Moreno, Domenico and Kassin were in town for a +2s show and came by the studio late night afterwards and joined Phil, Stephane and others...this was just one of the tunes we jammed (there’s a lost version of Wilson das Neves’ ‘Os Caras Querem’ somewhere in the vaults too...) Nina, having joined them onstage for their gig dropped in too, recording her lovely hybrid Portuguese/English vocal. After Phil and Marco did some chopping and arranging, we sat on the recordings a bit but finally, here's our reworking. Hope you like it.
