Album Notes

"Funk" is the remix from Grammy Award Winner, John Jones from Meninos do Morumbi's premier 2006 recording.

John Jones' remix blends the excitement of Meninos do Morumbi's performance with the power of drummer Steve Ferrone (Tom Petty and the Heart Breakers, Eric Clapton, Average White Band...).

Meninos do Morumbi is a Sao Paulo, Brazil children’s nonprofit foundation. Meninos was founded over 15 years ago by its president, drummer Flavio Pimenta to give kids an alternative to “street life” by teaching them drums. Starting with three kids Meninos has evolved into an organization that, in addition to drums, teaches dance, singing, English, Capoeira, and provides lunch to 2000 children.
