Between the Banda Black Rio & Azymuth, "Copa 7" is a brazilian samba funk collective who grew up during the Black Rio movement era. Indeed "Do Copa 7 Vol. 2", their second album, incoporates all the elements of the typical sounds from the Brazil '70, including samba, performed in the pure "brass band" spirit. Titles include samba songs based on funk ("O Circo", "Som Do Copa No2"), boogie (Tõ Maluco), jazz funk (Pintar O 7), some scat vocals, lush synths, mighty baile grooves (Levanta Poeira), and of course the club killers "Maria Joana", "Agora E Minha Vez".
