If you still dont have this, here is this MILEStone album, in 320 kbps and a bonus track.

On occasion of the jewish Pessach - which this year coincides with solar Bircat Hachama - I thought of posting some traditional jewish music, or maybe original klezmer songs, but then I remembered this record, which is a modern day recording of a klezmer band (New York based) which mixes in music from several countries (there´s 40 musicians here, from 8 different countries), like mexican horns and the brazilian rhythm of maracatu.

Somewhat appropriate, since jews have been a wandering people. And Manhattan jewdom was born when jews migrated there from Recife (the city of maracatatu) in 1650 (when the portugueses overran the dutch colony in the northeast of Brazil).

This record is a mishmash of sounds celebrating carnaval, joyous and raucous, then funereally picking up the pieces at the end.


Por ocasião do Pessach judaico - que este ano coincide com a cerimonia solar de Bircat Hachama - pensei em postar algo da música tradicional judaica, ou grupos originais de klezmer, mas aí lembrei deste disco, gravação recente de uma banda de klezmer (sediada em Nova Iorque), que mistura música de vários países (tem 40 músicos de 8 países neste disco), como os toques de metais mexicanos e tambores de maracatu.

Um tanto apropriado, por tanto, já que os judeus vagaram pelo mundo. E a colonia judaica de Manhattan surgiu quando judeus recifenses migraram para lá em 1650, com o Novo Holanda daqui virando a Nova Amsterdam de lá (e Recife é a terra do maracatu).

O disco é uma mistureba celebrando o carnaval, alegre, baderneiro, para no fim, funereamente, recolher os confetes pelo chão.

In a post below I mentioned Mutantes, the most important brazilian rock group from the 60s, with its psychedelic sound, unconventional lyrics, sampling, a sense of humor, avant-garde arrangements by maestro Rogerio Duprat, part of the Tropicália "movement".

So here are their two seminal albums.
Which were a huge influence on me, at the time experimenting with electronics (and drugs).


Quando falei de Cilibrinas mencionei os Mutantes. O público que lerá isto em portugues certamente terá estes discos ou saberá da importancia dos Mutantes.
Quem, por acaso, não,
conheça agora os dois discos seminais desse grupo
