Renowned Brazilian artist Chico César is back with a new album called Vestido de Amor, available since the 23rd September. For the release of the first album recorded outside his country of origin, he has chosen French label Zamora. Drawing on reggae, forró, pop, congolese rumba and calypso, the artist pays homage to the Black Atlantic.
The single ‘Vestido Do Amor’, is typical of this watm, multi-cultural blend. Carried by a catchy bassline and soaring backing vocals, the track is an invitation or an exhortation to dress oneself in love when we encounter others.
To celebrate the release, Chico César has put together an exclusive playlist for What The France featuring some of his favourite ‘Made in France’ music by Salif Keita, Dom La Nena, Rosemary Standley, João Selva, La Chica, Lucas Santtana, Jupiter & Okwess, Ray Lema, Manu Dibango, Blick Bassy, Niteroy, Piers Faccini, Sages Comme Des Sauvages, Bastien Lallemant, Simone Prattico, Yara Lapidus, Charles Berberian, Gabi Hartmann, Vincent Ségal, Tomas Gubitsch, Sébastien Surel, Ignacio Maria Gomez, Aesthesis and Christine Salem.
