I have a review of La Rumba Computer by Nego Moçambique up at Stylus, that goes something like this...
Rumba is originally an African rhythm, but Cubans made it famous. Similarly, Brazil’s own slave music mutated after it came here into samba and other cadences like maracatu and mangue. As such, it shouldn’t be all that much of a surprise to hear how producer Marcelo de Jesús—aka Nego Moçambique—has managed to imbue his second release with the diaspora of Africa, be it Nigerean Afrobeat, Afrika Baambata’s “Planet Rock,” legendary Brazilian slave rebel Zumbi, or Herbie Hancock’s Headhunters. He’s just taking what’s been handed to him and refashioning it into exciting new forms. umba is originally an African rhythm, but Cubans made it famous.
