Celebrating fifteen years together, the boys of BossaCucaNova founded by Márcio Menescal (son of bossa nova pioneer Roberto Menescal), DJ Marcelinho DaLua and record producer/sound engineer Alex Moreira utilize this optimistic nationalism as the foundation of their latest album, Our Kind Of Bossa (Six Degrees Records). The upbeat eleven-track record focuses equally on Brazil's other homegrown concoction: samba and features an amazing cast of guest contributors like legendary MPB band Os Cariocas, one of the country's most recognizable vocalists, Maria Rita, Singer Emílio Santiago, São Paulo native Wilson Simoninha and long time Bossacucanova vocalist Cris Delanno
