“Sim Sim Sim” is the Latin Grammy award-winning debut album from Bala Desejo. A band who are at the forefront of Rio de Janeiro’s artistic renaissance, they channel influences of Brazilian 60s Tropicália, 70s psychedelia and MPB to create a nostalgic, yet joyfully, avant-garde sound.

“A luscious debut, traversing 70s tropicalia to samba, horn fanfares and funk, all anchored by the group’s soft, collective harmonies” – Guardian

“A new generation of Brazilian samba stars” – The Times

“A joyous fiesta of an album that manages to sound like seventies MPB and modern-day fusion at the same time” – Louder Than War

“ A soulful Tropicalia sound is augmented with funky guitars and the soundstage is vast.” – Clash Magazine

“A warm, joyous, brightly shining example of art prevailing over adversity” ★★★★ – Songlines
