Cibelle - Las Venus Resort Palace Hotel

2010 release from the Brazilian-born singer, producer and multi-instrumentalist. Cibelle (AKA Sonja Khalecallon) invites you to plunge into her world of warped exotica inspired by the kitsch and pseudo-exotic style of music that was all the rage in the USA at the start of the 1960s. Las Venus Resort Palace Hotel features nine original songs and three inventive covers: 'Underneath the Mango Tree' (from the film Dr No), 'Lightworks' (from the eccentric Raymond Scott) and 'It's Not Easy Being Green' (originally by none other than Kermit the Frog). The album features contributions from friends including Josh Weller, Mocky, Kristian Craig Robinson (Capitol K), Sam Genders (Tunng), Damian Taylor, Fernando Catatau, Pupilo (Nação Zumbi) and others.
