So, what's the best soundtrack for a World Cup party? Gilles Peterson's Sonzeira project, , is a major contender, and so is this ambitious compilation featuring 43 different new or experimental artists, some better known than others.

Brazil will never want to escape from the glorious traditions of bossa and samba, but the music can be reworked and updated, as Lucas Santtana proves with the opening track, matching his cool vocals against an edgy dub backing. There's more fine, laidback vocal work with a slinky rock guitar backing from Arnaldo Antunes, classy balladry from Alice Caymmi, light, funky frevo from Juliana Perdigão, percussion and rap from Maga Bo, and reminders of Brazil's links with Africa from Metá Metá in a jazzy collaboration with Tony Allen, and Bixiga 70, whose instrumental track Kalimba should prove to be one of the goodtime anthems of the summer.
