João Donato E Donatinho

João Donato e Donatinho – “Sintetizamor” (Far Out Recordings, FARO238LP). Father and son fuse the master’s bossa‑jazz DNA with neon‑lit synth‑boogie: rubbery bass, glossy chords, vocoder kisses and pocket‑perfect drums. Originally a 2017 sleeper, the Record Store Day reissue underlines how effortlessly Donato’s melodic genius translates to modern funk. Hooks are breezy, harmonies sly, and the groove never breaks a sweat—think Azymuth meets Kashif on a Rio rooftop. On wax, the low‑end bloom and silky top‑end shine make this a summer‑night staple for Balearic heads, boogie devotees and Brazilian soul faithful alike.
