Lucas Santtana - World People 04
(MP3 Podcast on www.ParisDJs.com) 2012-07-25

Lucas Santtana is a Brazilian singer, composer and producer. In 2011 he released the marvelous Sem Nostalgia album in Europe through classy label Mais Um Discos, a blend of "Brazilian guitar, dub, acoustic samba, electronica, bossa and quirky samples, with an innovative & laid-back approach to things"… Earlier this month Lucas released a very cool Remix Nostalgia compilation of remixes, and later on in October he'll put out a new album, O Deus Que Devasta Mas Também Cura, both featured in this mix. We had the chance to quickly meet him last year when he first came to Paris, did a 2 minutes photo session with Jean Saint Jean (check the gallery, and hooked up with the man to put up on ParisDJs.com a mix of the music he's currently listening to…
