Moon Over Lapa

Pagode fusion with Brazilian funk bounce, medium-fast dance pulse and swung percussion; verse rides warm guitar, cavaquinho, and bass in a smoky groove, pre-chorus opens with jazz chords and chant replies, chorus hits with wider harmonies and a percussive hook, then a candomblé-tinged break folds into umbanda hand drums and a final fusion lift. Lead vocal is intimate and close-mic with soft doubles, airy ad-libs, and call-and-response backing lines. Ear candy: reversed shakers into the drop, conga fills between phrases, spring reverb tails on the last word. Mix is warm, lush, and sun-kissed with a late-night glow., funk, warm, world, jazz, pagode
