Suba – São Paulo Confessions
Suba
São Paulo Confessions
Style: Electronic
Label: Ziriguiboom
Catalog Number: ZIR 03 LP
Released: 1999
First heard on Brasil 2Mil “The Soul of Bass-O-Nova” compilation, Suba was part of a new generation of South American musicians (although he was originally from Serbia) who married airy melodies and percussion with the electronic scene. His music worked especially well because he was a trained musician, and he contributed not only programming but also keyboards to this record. Aided by various vocalists and percussionists, he created downtempo grooves that were a million miles from Latin dance but spoke both to Brazilians and club goers. This is the sound of São Paulo, one of the world’s biggest cities, where darkness can lurk even under the blue skies. Sadly, Suba tragically passed away in November 1999 just days after the release of his now-legendary album São Paulo Confessions.
