Onda Sonora: Red, Hot and Lisbon Red Hot/Koch (www.redhot.org)
The 22-track album starts off with several vibrant percussion-driven songs. Then, it slows down, using spacey electronic sounds and beats to connect Portugal's dark, soulful music with the contemporary cool of today's pop. With the recent U.S. interest in edgy Brazilian pop, these experimental cross-cultural tunes would seem to have arrived at the perfect time. - Marty Lipp
