Hey, it's Marina! Many have noted that Bonde Do Role just won't be the same without their firecracker ex-frontwoman, and while all that still remains to be seen, at least Edu K got our girl on a hot track. The K-produced "Me Bota(1)" isn't exactly baile funk ("baile jack" is the new sound) but still sports a tough distorted bassline for Marina to purr/growl over. The remix from Crookers(2) is their typical mongoloid crossbreed heater, featuring claps, "Sing Sing," hectic triggered vocal samples and more jacking beats. Sidenote: I've been reviewing more and more records with Crookers remixes lately, and they never seem to have a dud. Includes instrumental and acapella versions.
