DESCRIPTION
Bala Desejo – Sim Sim Sim is a vibrant debut from the Rio de Janeiro-based quartet that revives and reimagines the golden era of 1970s Brazilian music. With echoes of Tropicália, MPB, and samba, the album flows seamlessly through horn-filled fanfares, rich funk grooves, and swirling psychedelic textures—all anchored by the group’s unmistakable choral harmonies and playful charisma.
Critically acclaimed across the board, Sim Sim Sim captures the youthful energy of a new Brazilian musical renaissance. According to The Guardian, the group “traverses 70s tropicalia to samba, horn fanfares and funk, all anchored by the group’s soft, collective harmonies,” while The Times hails them as “a new generation of Brazilian samba stars” with a 4/5 rating.
The record is both nostalgic and forward-thinking—a sonic journey that celebrates Brazil’s cultural legacy while pushing it in fresh, contemporary directions. It’s luscious, cinematic, and joyously experimental—a standout release in the global modern tropical movement.
