World Music: Fernanda Porto, "Amore Errado"
(Brazil) Fernanda Porto earned her name as the voice of Brazilian drum 'n bass with her smash hit "Sambassim." But she's a lot more than a pretty face and voice - she is a formidable musician, who played all the instruments, sang, and even programmed all the sounds for her debut CD. This highly schooled musician has absorbed the lessons of 20th century classical traditions and her music contains wonderful details of timbre and texture. "Amor Errado" may be about the disappointment of a bad relationship, but the track is bouncy and clean, with a killer chorus. It's impossible to get too morose listening to it!
