He showed an aptitude for music early on: he formed his first band at age eight and was playing percussion in Rio clubs by the time he was 14. But he took his cultural wanderings a step further when he signed with Bay Area-based underground hip-hop label Quannum to release his 2005 debut, <I>Achados E Perdidos</i>. Marrying a love of classic soul and funk with the unshakeable rhythms of Brazil, the release was treading in interesting territory. In 2008 <I>JapanPopShow</i> pushed further into that territory, pursuing an infectious combination of hip-hop, Musica Popular Brasileira (M.P.B.) and vintage funk. - Sarah BardeenBrazilian Popen720Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:13:22 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7623370&rws=%2Fcurumin%2Fdiscography.rss Brazil's Curumin is no stranger to cultural mash-ups: one parent is Spanish, one Japanese, and he grew up in the cultural melting pot that is Rio De Janeiro.
