Dengue Fever April 18, 2008

Dengue Fever is an emerging global pop sensation, making music that's both familiar, yet eerily unique. Named after the '70s classic Tropicalia song by Gilberto Gil and Os Mutantes, this group continues the Brazilian tradition of bringing together samba, samba-reggae, baiao, forro, samba-funk, maracatu and ijexa. French Disco is comprised of bassist John Dumont, guitarists Jason Fessel and Sean Smith, drummer Tina Liao and vocalist Myriam de la Jara.
