The World Cup, with its 12 locales, is providing a nice geography lesson about the massive country of Brazil. It's so big that only two countries in South America — Chile and Ecuador — do not share its borders. One of the tournament cities is Recife, in the Northeast state of Pernambuco, which reminded me that David Byrne's Luaka Bop label had issued a compilation of music from that region. I know nothing about the artist, Nacao Zumbi. But this is a great sounding song.
