Audio: Sango 'Da Rocinha'


Michigan-based producer Sango makes a jump from producing incredible Weeknd remixes to craft an 8-track baile funk-influenced album. Named after the largest favela in Rio De Janeiro, Da Rocinha features sparse underworld mutations of the typically upbeat genre and boasts plenty looped kuduro instances — as in highlight "Passinho Kuduro." Stream the album its entirety and grab it as a name-your-price.
