"BiD is one of the most prolific and talented producers of his generation. Bambas & Biritas - meaning spliffs and booze in portuguese, a reminder of the fuel involved in the record's creation - is BiD's first solo outing. Featuring an illustrious cast of participants, from Elza Soares to Seu Jorge, he confirms why he is know as the backroom brain of contemporary Brazilian music, successfully blending hip-hop, funk and samba into one of the most complete killer albums to emerge from Brazil in a long time...Bambas & Biritas is slang portuguese for 'spliffs & booze' and is a reference to the old samba dons that used to hang in bars, sipping their caipirinhas and making music. 'Bambas & Biritas' was released on 18th October 2004."
