    Red Hot and Rio 2 is a tribute to the Brazilian Tropicalia movement of the late 60's that features a brilliant assortment of artist collaborations.

    Caetano Veloso is essential to that movement and wrote Today’s Top Tune while he was jailed in 1969, inspired by the idea of the first astronauts taking pictures of earth from the moon, and now it gets a remix from

    Prefuse 73. The song is called "

    Terra."
