Think of One Trafico Crammed (www.crammed.be) Loose in attitude but capable of creating some very tight boundary-crossing music, Belgium's Think of One combine slippery Roma style horns with Brazilian percussion and vocals, a sonic sense as open-minded as that of Manu Chao or Lo Jo and a willingness to borrow a groove from anywhere that strikes their fancy. While they first made a name beyond their home base of Antwerp with music that blended their brash, bouncy brass with Moroccan sounds, Trafico takes the predominantly Brazilian feel of Think of One's last album, Chuva Em Po, and runs gleefully further with it. The main difference is that where the previous disc had more rockish textures to it, this one leans more toward funk in its readily definable moments.
