Hello again, One Cell fans! It’s time now to find out what Kiko Dinucci has been doing – and then later, get a sneak peek at Burro Morto’s new album “Baptista Virou Máquina”. So get settled…there’s a lot to catch up on.

The New Album

Most importantly, we are excited for Kiko Dinucci’s new album “Na Boca dos Outros”, which will be released December 6th, 2009 on the Desmonta label. “Na Boca dos Outros” features appearances from Brazil’s best and finest musical artists such as:

Fabia Cozza, Mauricio Pereira, Alessandra Leão, Juliana Amaral, Juçara Marçal, Marcelo Pretto, Rob Mazurek, Sapopemba, and many more!

From the sounds of it, this album is going to be lively, poignant and melodious. If you can’t wait that long, check out selected tracks at Kiko’s myspace!

Shows, Shows, Shows!

The first couple of weeks in December are going to be big ones for Kiko D. First there’s an album release party at CCJ in São Paulo on the 6th. On the 11th he’ll be appearing with Trio Esmeril at São Paulo University.

December 12th he’ll be playing with the acclaimed MC Sombra, along with saxophonist Thiago França and drummer Sérgio Machado. Thiago França has been joining Kiko at various shows with songstress Juçara Marçal on their new “Metá Metá” project. This is not the first time Kiko has worked with Juçara – in 2008 the two released a record called “Padê”.

Kiko also DJ’s at Festa Engasgagato, which is a monthly party thrown by the Desmonta record label for its artists and colleagues. Check out the Engasgagato Blog here.

Reviews...and the Burn Notice Feature

Kiko’s engaging and entertaining partnership with Douglas Germano (from AfroMacarrônico) dubbed Duo Moviola has gotten some superb reviews. Downbeat Magazine gave their “O Retrato Do Artista Quando Pede” album four stars. They state of the duo’s creative endeavors, “By getting the most out of their complex arrangements, the songs burrow deep into the memory.”

Are you a fan of the USA series “Burn Notice”? Kiko’s song “Engasga Gato” will contribute to the soundtrack of the “Friendly Fire” episode airing Feburary 4, 2010.

The Return of BURRO MORTO

As promised, we want to briefly update you on Burro Morto’s new album, “Baptista Virou Máquina”, which is due to be released in January, 2010. (More detail will be coming in our next blog post!)

Check out these teasers that are sure to leave you wanting more of One Cell’s beloved curly-haired quintet.

Don’t worry, there will be more where that came from. Burro Morto plans to make a video for every song on the new album. Lindo maravilhoso!

Rossano Snel’s Audio “Landscape”


A long overdue “hello” from all of us at One Cell – hope everyone had a great summer! Our One Cell artists have been very busy since we last posted. Where should we begin?

Let’s start by updating you on what our talented young friend Rossano Snel has been up to. He’s got a new EP out, entitled “Landscape” on the EBS Diggin label. This four-song journey has a couple of surprises wrapped up inside one cohesive package. The album features the unanticipated accompaniment of a sitar on a track called, "Meu Mundo", with Rossi showcasing his envious piano skills in the touching “Tumpah”.

Don't forget, you can always check out a free stream of Rossano's debut album "Gallery" at the One Cell site.

Rossano recently revisited an old partnership with Dumond Footwear when he contributed a track called “Breeze” that he composed for the Dumond “Making of Summer 2010” video. The clip features Top Model Fernanda Tavares posing in the lovely, lively city streets of Rio de Janeiro, with Rossi’s jazzy beats complementing the behind-the-scenes footage. You can’t find a better soundtrack for your feet than the rhythms of Rossano.

Did you like the Pulp and World Affair sets? Rossi’s got five songs featured on his brand new Neon set, along with many other artists such as Amy Winehouse and Vitalic.
