    RIP Ivan Conti aka Mamão from Azymuth

    maybe in 50 years time people will start to understand everything he did and see how influential he's been

    A great album and this is the deepest tune, a tour of the Amazon no?  With Ron Carter bonus.

    Jobim was always fond of journeys and checking the sights and sounds.  Otherwise it seems random AF.   Brazilian culture accepts lyrics from a way broader church than the West.

    That's the depth of this music.


    I guess I end up feeling the opposite, like so much English-language music has boring lyrics because they always talk about the same things? There's definitely an openness to Brazilian lyrics that you don't see as much in English. Things can be much more abstract and poetic, but even old school samba can get philosophical in ways that something like a jazz standard doesn't even attempt. Or maybe if you did that in English you just end up sounding something like "In and around the lake / The mountains come out of the sky / AND STAND THERE!!!!"

    BTW the chorus in O Boto is actually quoting an old tune called Do Pilá

    I like this version, it's from a project that rerecorded old tunes that had been recorded on 78s. This badly needs a vinyl release, I'd love a box of 45s of the tracks on there.

  • Music that remind you of african patterns?

    Hi, I looked at african patterns recently and thought to myself that I want to listen to music that resembles those. So what I am searching for is traditional, vibrant, colourful, fast paced, extremely varied and complex music. Does anybody have reconmendations for what genres I could listen to?


    Victor Uwaifo fits the bill perfectly, lots of groovy West African guitar madness. More to the point, a lot of his compositions are based on the patterns and colors of traditional Nigerian tapestries. Makes for some excellent tripped-out highlife.

  • Ain't Much F*ckin' with Jorge Ben

    ppadilhappadilha
    Got sucked into a Jorge Ben rabbit hole for a bit, which happens from time to time, and stumbled onto this thread. The man's output is insane, and it's funny how I used to be all "I like his stuff up to A Banda do Zé Pretinho, then he got kinda lame like most Brazilian musicians in the 80s" and now I'll happily put on records like Bem Vinda Amizade or Alô Alô, Como Vai? He went on a 20-year run of relentlessly good music, even the filler tracks are fire on his LPs.

    As for the lyrics, I think every Brazilian knows you don't get into Jorge Ben for his lyricism. He's got the basic love songs, the rambling stories where he's trying to cram entire sentences into those bars, and some straight up unhinged stuff about alchemy or astronaut gods. Yet you can't hate him for it because the crazy stuff is just kinda funny, and the good vibes are always there anyway. Put on some Chico Buarque if you want to get all scholarly about the written word.

    At any rate, I used to go to Greg Caz's Brazilian Beats Brooklyn party at Black Betty's on an almost religious basis, and we all worshiped at the altar of Jorge Ben. Then one day I get there a little early and Greg just kinda whispers to me "I don't like to spread rumors, but I've been told there's a good chance that Jorge Ben is going to stop by tonight." I didn't know what to make of that, so I just assumed there was no chance in hell that it could happen. But a few hours later the man himself materialized inside the bar, just standing very chill at the edge of the dance floor in jeans and pretty basic brown sweater and baseball cap. There was no big commotion or anything, just half the crowd who knew who he was slowly losing their mind, while the other half were just regular hipsters who had no clue what was happening. Greg and Sean played a few of his tracks and he was just nodding and singing along to his own stuff. Then he proceeded to dance with every single girl in the bar over the next few hours.

  • TAKE THAT SHIT TO THE-BRITS.COM

    Made the mistake of turning on the tv to watch the last 10 minutes of OT for Man Utd's game. Remembered why I had made it a point not to watch the Arsenal game live the previous day. THE GODS OF FOOTBALL DO NOT WANT ME TO EXPERIENCE JOY IN REAL TIME.

    clearly this will be a fairy tale Euro for England.

    Just like 2016, when they got to be part of Iceland's fairy tale run, this time around they'll get to meet Denmark in the semis and be the supporting cast in another beautiful story...
