Beirut

Quem assistiu a Capitu, esta adaptação recente de Luis Fernando Carvalho para o "Dom Casmurro" de Machado de Assis, foi bombardeado com os acordes iniciais, num mandolim, da música "Elephant Gun" - praticamente a toda vez que surgia na tela a Capitu (e seus olhos de ressaca).

LFC gosta de colocar em suas trilhas essas bandas do Leste Europeu, mas no caso a canção é do Beirut, que apesar do nome e das influencias balcânicas e eslavas é o grupo de um americano no New Mexico chamado Zach Condon (como o Brasov que tem os metais de um Bregovic ou Gogol mas é carioca do Brasil).

Vale a pena conhecer as outras músicas do caldeirão Beirut. Aqui estão seus discos recentes.


In december, Globo - the main brazilian TV network - showed a series based on a classic of our literature, Dom Casmurro, by Machado de Assis. The series is called Capitu which is the mysterious female character. The scenes were shot in a circus atmosphere, mixing cinema & theater and modern & classical references, with the dazzling visual effects which are director´s Luiz Fernando Carvalho´s trademark. And though the story takes place in the 19th century, the soundtrack went from Black Sabbath´s "Iron Man" to Beirut´s "Elephant Gun".

And in another juxtaposition the band Beirut with it´s eastern-european slavic sounds is actually a group from New Mexico, USA, who released one of the best albuns in 2007 (preceded by an even better EP). (There´s also a brazilian balkan band called Brasov, but that´s a different post).
