Brazilian pioneers of baile funk "Tetine" are releasing their 8th studio album "Let Your X's Be Y's" on Soul Jazz Records.
The duo consists of vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Eliete Mejorado and her partner in crime Bruno Vermer, both hailing from São Paulo.
The brazilian duo moved to London in 2001 and since then promoted the baile funk movement in the UK. They released several compilations and also did a quiet popular radio show called "Slum Dunk" on Londons underground station "ResonanceFM".
Though they stayed true to baile funk and ghettotech, the new album is heavily influenced by synth-pop bands from the early 80's like Joy Division or Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. Tetine's new sound can be described as a mixture of ghettotech and baile funk flavoured with a raw punky energy.
