Forget the Beatles. Brazilians love covering the Fab Four in all the different styles (from bossa to Tropícalia and MPB), but some intrepid brasileiros prefer to explore other international trends. Melô do Embaixador digs deep into the country’s under-documented history of American soul, funk, and disco, turning up 27 strange and compelling interpretations from 1968 to 2015.
