Nosso Branko
Meaning “ours” in Portuguese, ‘Nosso’ pulls influence from across the Portuguese speaking world while its creator, Branko, works with collaborators from a variety of other cultures and locations. Rooted in European Electronica, ‘Nosso’ is warm and inviting, Balearic in mood though not in style, channeling convivial late night conversations with friends new and old. Impressively cohesive, there’s a depth to ‘Nosso’ that is rare in such collaborative works. The result is that a vocal ballad like ‘Amours d’Été’ sits alongside a percussion-heavy instrumental like ‘Lucuma’ with effortless ease.
