Comment:

OK, we agree: it seems a little counterintuitive to think of Rio — where the average daily high temp is in the 80s — as ground zero for [i]o supremo[/i] chillout, but if you want to bust out of the daily grind, there's no better destination, physically or sonically. You can almost feel those soothing ocean breezes wafting over you when Bebel Gilberto pours her honey-sweet samba sounds out of the speakers, and there's no possible way to stress out when the Tamba Trio locks into their tropical groove. But we haven't gone completely native on you; check out the electro-friendly vibe of the Thievery Corporation or the Black Eyed Peas mashing up a little hip-hop [i]com a música local[/i]. Then break out the [i]cachaça[/i], dig into a bowl of [i]feijoada[/i], sit back, and love life the way only [i]os brasileiros[/i] can.
