Radio de Curumin

Curumin is a Brazilian musician. His style is sometimes called samba-funk, and it incorporates many jazz, bossa nova, and hip hop elements as well. He sings in Portuguese, and his first album, Achados E Perdidos, was released on September 20, 2005 on the Quannum Projects label. His real name is Luciano Nakata Albuquerque. Curumin and Quannum Projects first crossed paths when Chief Xcel , one half of Blackalicious and one fifth of Quannum, was on tour in Brazil. Happening upon Achados E Perdidos while in Sao Paulo , Xcel knew immediately that this was a record that could resonate with audiences outside Brazil as well.
