Kamei kicks ass with his seriously funky, glitzy and filtered French disco house sounding tunes. So what, you ask? Plenty of that around, innit? Well, for starters, he’s from Brazil. And here’s the kicker; he’s only 15 years old.

I’m flabbergasted. When I was 15, I barely managed to finger my way through My Bonnie is over the ocean on my old Casio…

More stuff on his MySpace.

Brazil is known for it’s ass-shakin’ music with artists like CSS and Bonde do Role, which leaves one to wonder what else is out there? Well, Nancy, that’s what!
