Bonfires of Sao Joao

A beautiful, dance inspiring international debut. The first track sounds like a spaghetti western chase scene. Two songs later they stretch into feel-good territory with David Byrne making a guest vocal appearance, singing an English version of the Brazilian classic "Asa Branca". Cibo Matto's Miho Hatori joins the band to sing "Paraiba", a Japanese version of a Luis Gonzaga song originally recorded in the '50s. And on the albums sublime climaz, Bebel Gilberto joins the group to sing a version of "Wandering Swallow", a song originally released by Peggy Lee.
