Blending Brazilian music, electronics, funk, and jazz into a breezily danceable style known as Brazilectro, Zuco 103 are global dance music pioneers. With members hailing from Brazil, Germany, and the Netherlands, the trio had a head start on incorporating sounds and styles from around the world, and 2000's debut album Outro Lado captured Zuco 103's confident, organic mix of influences. The group further expanded their inviting sound with releases including 2002's mellow yet invigorating Tales of High Fever and 2006's reggae-inflected Whaa!, while the remix collections that accompanied their albums, their frequent worldwide tours, and their performances with artists ranging from Lee "Scratch" Perry to Joe Jackson to Marcos Suzano reflected Brazilectro's international reach. Decades after they formed, 2016's electronics-based Etno Chic and 2023's stripped-down yet festive Telenova proved Zuco 103 could still find fresh angles on their feel-good sound.
