So – if you don’t follow Red Hot on Facebook (and if you don’t – WHY NOT??), you may not have heard – Red Hot’s next release is coming soon!
Red Hot + Rio 2, a modern tribute to late 60’s Brazilian Tropicália movement and produced in partnership with Entertainment One Music is set to be released on June 28, 2011.
The album will shed new light on the songs of this influential, politically charged era, which changed the culture of the country forever.
The compilation features over 30 original collaborations between Brazil’s legendary musicians and today’s international indie artists including John Legend, Os Mutantes, Devendra Banhart, Caetano Veloso, Dirty Projectors, Seu Jorge, Beck, Bebel Gilberto, José Gonzalez, Beirut, Tom Zé, Of Montreal, Marisa Monte Gogol Bordello, DJ Dolores, Aloe Blacc, Angelique Kidjo, Rita Lee, Madlib, Money Mark, Céu, Apollo Nove, Mayra Andrade, Trio Mocotó, Tha Boogie, Alice Smith, Carlinhos Brown, Los Van Van, Brazilian Girls, Marcos Valle, St. Vincent, Neon Indian, Forró In The Dark, Mia Doi Todd, Javelin, and many more.
Red Hot + Rio 2 is the natural successor to the 1996 original Bossa Nova inspired Red Hot + Rio, which Vogue called the album “the latest and the hippest” while Entertainment Weekly said it was “an inspiring and modern sounding tribute.

As with all Red Hot projects, proceeds from Rio 2 will benefit HIV/AIDS related charities. The first Red Hot + Rio raised over $1 million dollars as did the organization’s most recent album, Dark Was The Night (featuring 2011 Grammy winner for best album, Arcade Fire, The National, Feist, Grizzly Bear and Bon Iver among others). Since its inception, Red Hot Organization – a not-for-profit production company – has produced over 16 albums and donated over $10 million dollars to worthy organizations, causes and projects around the world. Its mission is to raise awareness and money to fight AIDS/ HIV and related health and social issues. To date the Red Hot organization has sold more than three million albums and has co-produced performances at Brooklyn Academy of Music, Radio City Music Hall, Central Park Summer Stage and more.
I can’t wait for this album to come out!
This looks incredible……….OMG!
SO SO SO EXCITED!

A great iniciative. Fabulous team. Sucess.
[...] Beirut, the music project headed by Zach Condon, is going on tour. Good news. He’s going on tour with Arcade Fire, the National, and Twin Sister. Better news. He’s also contributed a track to the Red Hot Organization’s benefit album, Red Hot + Rio 2: a cover of Caetano Veloso’s classic Tropicalia ballad, “O Leãozinho.” David Byrne was the one who brought this sweet, haunting love song to the American public… for my part, it’s good to see Caetano’s music being tackled by mainstream US rock artists. It’s a partnership that can only end well. Check out the Red Hot album here. [...]

I have been a fan of the Red Hot releases ever since Red Hot & Blue was released. But my favorite of the project has to be the first Red Hot & Rio plus it’s companion piece, Bossa Nova. Hearing of this 2nd edition takes me back to the 90s when this concept was first born.

Definitely consider that which you said. Your favourite justification appeared to be at the web the easiest thing to take into account of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while people consider concerns that they just do not recognize about. You managed to hit the nail upon the highest as neatly as outlined out the whole thing without having side-effects , folks can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thank you
