Favela do Rio de Janeiro - Hyldon, Adrian Younge & Ivan "Mamão" Conti in the studio

An inside look at the studio session from Hyldon & Adrian Younge's latest single "Favela do Rio de Janeiro." For the session, Adrian and Hyldon recruited Brazil's legendary drummer Ivan "Mamão" Conti. This would be the last recording session with Mamão inside Younge's Linear Labs studio. An exuberant samba celebrating the vibrancy of Rio de Janeiro. The song invites listeners to join the joy and culture of the city’s favelas, highlighting its beauty and spirit. A carefree anthem of community and celebration. "There's no place like Rio, and the favela 'bailes' are the best!" - Hyldon Hyldon, Brazil’s highly revered vocalist, musician and producer, has partnered with Adrian Younge to create a new psychedelic soul album, HYLDON JID023. The duo, highly inspired by Hyldon’s seminal work in the ‘60s and ‘70s, revisits’ the spirit of this epoch while creating a modern-day classic. Hyldon’s unique voice and lyrical depth, combined with Younge’s innovative analog production and instrumentation, ensures this album will not be forgotten. JID023 is one of the last recordings featuring Hyldon’s long-time collaborator and friend, the late drummer Ivan “Mamao” Conti of Azymuth. #hyldon #ivanmamoconti #adrianyounge
