Oribata are Sao Paolo's DJ Tahira and Fernando TRZ. Tahira has been a fixture on the Sao Paolo scene since the late '90's, gaining recognition both in Brazil and abroad for being one of the most knowledgable DJs on Afro-Brazilian music. His edits of classics like Gilberto Gil's "Toda Menina Baiana" getting heavy airplay from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Francois K and Nightmares on Wax and the seal of approval from Gilberto Gil himself. Fernando TRZ is a musician, arranger and producer, most famous for his work with TRZ trio and Lavoura, and counts Marc de Clive-Lowe and Eumir Deodato amongst fans of his music.
The A-side, "Batuki", from Oribata is an Afro-Brazilian house Jam. The B-side is a DJ Tahira edit of "Cavalinho Cavalao" by massively influential forro group Banda De Pifanos De Caruaru, a galloping drum and flute frenzy.
