Antes do carnaval eu ouvia o lendário programa Morning Becomes Eclectic na KCRW de LA quando quem apareceu por lá foi o Curumin com o seu Japan Pop Show.

Aqui está a sua apresentação.

Ouço Morning Becomes Eclectic há mais de dez anos, a praticamente cada dia tem um convidado de uma parte do mundo, toca sempre música brasileira, trocou recentemente de apresentador mas continua excelente.


Last week I was listening to the fabled program Morning Becomes Eclectic, on LA´s KCRW, and who showed up in the studio was brazilian samba-funker Curumin with his Japan Pop Show.
Great presentation.

I´ve been listening to MBE for over ten years, practically every day they have a guest from some part of the world, there´s always brazilian songs, the show has a new host now but still´s great.

Morning Becomes Eclectic

In the first post I published on this blog i wrote about a terrific folk and protest singer, Odetta, a woman with a powerful voice and an enormous soul, but which isn´t now as well known as other folk staples of the 60s.

Today I would like to show another very talented folk singer from the 60s who strangely didn´t garner a continued sucess and isn´t well known nowadays, although has become quite a cult figure.

Shawn Philips was a fine vocalist, an interesting songwriter, played several instruments, lived in several countries and recorded in diverse musical styles.

First Impressions is in fact his second album, from his 60s folkie period (mostly voice & guitar), with folk classics from Pete Seeger, Leadbelly, etc., theatrical covers (West Side Story, Sound of Music) and original protest songs.
In Contribution - produced with some of Traffic - he was coming out of an English phase composing with Donovan and his sound is going from folk to progressive and rock. In Second Contribution - early 70s - he´s plainly rock and stretching out to R & B.
(The last two albuns came here from my re-issue CD from 2005 which published both records together, so they´re in the same file.)

Shawn Philips has put up a site where you can buy his full discography (with recent records and concerts), see pics, read about his crazy life...

A good bio here (with Shawn teaching George how to play the sitar and more...)




No primeiro post deste blog escrevi sobre uma tremenda cantora de música folk e de protesto, Odetta, mulher de voz poderosa e alma imensa, mas que acabou não permanecendo hoje tão conhecida quanto outros próceres da música folk americana.

Hoje queria mostrar outro talento que surgiu da cena folk nos anos 60 e que estranhamente não transformou-se num sucesso contínuo, sendo hoje um nome desconhecido até dos folkies americanos, embora seja um figura cult dos conhecedores.

Shawn Philips eraum bom vocalista, um compositor interessante de ótimas letras, tocava vários instrumentos, viveu em vários paises e gravou canções em diversos estilos musicais.

O primeiro album mostrado aqui se chama Primeiras Impressões mas na verdade é seu segundo disco, de sua fase bem folk (muita voz & violão) com clássicos de Pete Seeger e Leadbelly, covers teatrais (West Side Story, Sound of Music) e composições próprias de protesto.
Em Contribution - produzido com o pessoal do Traffic - ele tinha acabado de encerrar uma fase inglesa de parcerias com Donovan e seu som já vai passando do folk pro progressivo pro rock. Em Second Contribution - início dos anos 70 - está mais roqueiro chegando aos rhythm & blues.

Shawn Philips montou um site onde se pode comprar todos os seus discos (continua gravando e fazendo shows), ver fotos de sua vida e ler sobre sua carreira maluca.

E aqui tem uma boa bio em ingles (com Shawn ensinando cítara para George e muito mais...)

Somewhere between leaving in 72 the fantastic rock group Mutantes - with its psych sounds and avant-garde tropicalistic arrangements - and launching in 74 a solo career as one of the top pop-rock brazilian stars, Rita Lee wanted to form an all-girl band and teamed up with glam rocker Lucia Turnbull under the name Cilibrinas do Éden (Eden as in the Garden and Cilibrina being slang for several spaced-out drugs).
They ended up being backed by three guys (who later became the band Tutti Frutti who recorded 4 more albuns with Rita Lee).

Cilibrinas only recorded one record, which is kinda transitional - rocking sometimes, psyching sometimes - but is in fact very good. Recorded live in fron tof a small audience in a pretty straight-forward manner.
Brazilian music industry mogul Midani scraped the record - which stills remains officially unreleased - declaring it not up-to-standards, but mostly because for he had other plans for Rita, as a solo (and better-produced) artist with hit songs.
(Turnbull got kinda dissed in the whole story...)

Finally, after 35 years, brazilian fans operating out of Spain put out this bootleg edition with the original tapes (did someone raid the vault?) which has been spreading through the internet.
Read an article about it last week and tought of talking about it here.


Para quem lê português, a história com mais detalhes está aqui no Ilustrada Pop.
Quando li a matéria na Folha pensei em falar do disco no ssoonnss...




As Cilibrinas do Éden (1973)

01 - Mamãe Natureza (3:41)
02 - E Você Ainda Duvida (4:46)
03 - Minha Fama de Mau (1:49)
04 - Gente Fina É Outra Coisa (3:17)
05 - Paixão Da Minha Existência Atribulada (4:40)
06 - Festival Divino (4:44)
07 - Bad Trip (Ainda Bem) (4:08)
08 - Nessas Alturas Dos Acontecimentos (3:10)
09 - Vamos Voltar Ao Princípio Porque Lá É O Fim (3:56)
10 - Cilibrinas Do Éden (2:48)

ps
this is from an old tape i´ve had for years, so the tracks are in a different order than the No Smoke Records release.

Passei isto de uma fita antiga que tenho, de modos que as faixas estão numa sequencia diferente do que a do recente disco pirata. Mas creio que esta é a ordem do show.

pss

Some of the songs resurfaced in different forms in Rita Lee´s later records.

Algumas dessas musicas ressurgiram modificadas ou nao em discos posteriores de Rita Lee.

Lucia Turnbull - songwriting, vocals, guitars
Rita Lee - songwriting, vocals, keyboards, flute
Luis Sérgio Carlini - guitars
Lee Marcucci - bass
Emilson Colantonio - drums
