Raul de Barros está Na Glória

2009-06-21T13:30:00.003-03:00

Principal trombonista da música brasileira, com participação em dezenas de discos (48 deles solo) e grupos musicais desde os anos 30, Raul de Barros faleceu este mes aos 93 anos. Criou e popularizou o estilo que chamou de hot-samba, trombonizando os sons da gafieira. Em sua homenagem, dois discos: o primeiro pela Marcus Pereira, gravadora independente pioneira e importantíssima pelo seu mapeamento da MPB, é gravado em estúdio, com um elenco de craques instrumentistas. Abre com sua marca registrada "Na Glória". o segundo com orquestra e crooner gravado ao vivo, registrando um clima das gafieiras onde Raul foi Rei por tantas decadas, e como boa gafieirada emenda standards brasileiros e americanos num bailão.

Brazil´s most important trombone player, playing in hundreds of recordings (48 solo LPs) and in musical groups since the 30s, Raul de Barros passed away this month at the age of 93. He created a style he called hot-samba, withe he frantic ballroom sounds of the gafieiras, where people came to dance and musicians came to jam and improvise on solos. The first record here was by the important independent label Marcus Pereira, one of Brazil´s first alternative labels, whom in the 70s released several records with old masters and folklore from the country´s hinterlands. The first track is his signature riff, "Na Glória" (hence the title of this post, Gone to Glory). The second is a live album, with big band and crooner, showing the atmosphere of the gafieiras. As in a typical gafieira dance hall, the band alternates brazilian and american standards for the dancers to twirl and tryst.

Calla - Televise

2009-05-29T13:37:00.006-03:00

I enjoy groups who are different, who differ from running along the usual ruts. Calla is one of them. So clear and at the same time dissonant. Televise transmits songs burbling up by bass lines and by the static that sometimes fills in as a rhythm section. Whispered vocals barely emerging from the mix. Lyrics like "Sit. Notice. I am silent". Listening is like watching sand blowing across their texas deserts in the evening.

Gosto de grupos musicais diferentes, que não seguem o obvio. Calla é um deles. Seu som é claro e ao mesmo tempo dissonante. Televise transmite canções impulsionadas pelo baixo e pela estática que às vezes faz as vezes de seção rítmica. O vocal é sussurrado e por instantes mergulha no mix geral. Letras como "Sente. Repare. Estou em silêncio". Ouvir é como ver areia soprando nos desertos do Texas deles ao final do dia.

Sá, Rodrix & Guarabyra

2009-05-23T11:30:00.011-03:00

No começo dos anos 70, chegou às turminhas da contracultura uma música que virou uma espécie de hino: "Hoje ainda é dia de rock". Tempinho depois o tema virou teatro, com a peça homônima, num dos templos do alternativo, o Teatro Ipanema, marcando ainda mais a geração que desbundava pra fora dos antolhos das ditaduras.

Pensei nisso ao fazer uma homenagem a Zé Rodrix (autor dessa música), que faleceu ontem. Nessa época, Rodrix (que a gente conhecia da superbanda Som Imaginário) entrou prum trio com Luis Carlos Sá e Gutemberg Guarabyra (era o tempo dos trios juntando musicos avulsos, lembram?). Sá & Guarabyra depois lançariam o rock rural (germinando a semente do proprio Rodrix em Casa no Campo), Zé viraria publiciário de jingles célebres (só tem amor quem tem amor pra dar), mas nesses dois discos a coisa ainda era meio roqueira com influencias psicodélicas e menções ao camp.

ps - mas minha predileta é Mestre Jonas

pss - e acho insuportável Casa no Campo

Brazil, early 70s. The soundtrack for our counterculture included a kinda anthem called "Hoje ainda é dia de rock" (It´s still rock time). Later on the song became a play in the alternative temple Teatro Ipanema, meeting point for a generation which was freaking out from beyonf the shackles of a military dictatorship.

I was thinking of this when Zé Rodrix (composer for this song) died yesterday. In those days Zé Rodrix, coming from the supergroup Som Imaginário, formed the trio Sá Rodrix & Guarabyra (trios were the thing back then, remember?) who recorded these two records.

Sá & Guarabyra continued on to launch a rural-folk-rock-brazilian thing. Rodrix went on to pen catchy famous ad jingles (so much for counterculture), returning to the musical spotlights in the 80s with the humurous musical group called Joelho de Porco (Pig´s Knee). But in these two records they were camping it up, rockin songs sixties, seventies and even fifties-style.

It was still rock time.
(But my favorite is the piano thumping Mestre Jonas, who lived in a whale)

Milton Nascimento & Lo Borges - Clube da Esquina

2009-05-17T18:16:00.012-03:00

Continuando na sequencia de discos citados no post de Monsueto abaixo, por terem regravado magistralmente clássicos do popular Comandante , aproveito o pretexto para lembrar aqui de um de meus discos preferidos de todos os tempos.

Milton já era um artista famoso quando gravou este album duplo (um dos primeiros duplos no Brasil) com um grupo de amigos, musicos e compositores com quem vinha tocando e criando desde os anos 60 (o disco é creditado a Milton & Lô - este com 17 anos - mas é mais uma criação coletiva da turma do clube). Seu enorme sucesso lançou um estilo novo de música brasileira, canções modernas de Minas Gerais, misturando toadas rurais, música espanhola/latina, ritmos africanos, festas populares, psicodelismo, letras geniais e harmonias beatlelescas, capitaneadas pela voz cortante de Milton Nascimento. Os outros membros do Clube da Esquina seguiram carreiras frutíferas e uma geração de bandas e compositores se formou sob a influencia deste album seminal.

Another album that I mentioned in the post below about Monsueto, which have me the idea to show here one of my favorite records of all time.

Milton already was a famous singer/songwriter when he recorded this double album (one of the first brazilian double-albums) with a group of friends, musicians he had been playing and writing songs with since the 60s (the record is credited to Milton & 17 years old Lô but it´s mostly a collective contibution). A huge success, it launched a whole new style of brazilian music, modern songs from the the inland state of Minas Gerais, mixing tradicional rural toadas, spanish music, african rhythms, folkloric festivities, psychedelia, great lyrics and beatles-drenched arrangements, spearheaded by the cutting voice of Milton. The other members of this "Club from down on the corner" went on to become popular musicians and numerous bands were formed in Minas and other states under the influence of this album.

Caetano Veloso - Transa

2009-05-16T17:46:00.009-03:00

Mencionei no post abaixo o disco Transa, de Caetano (onde recria uma música de Monsueto), e pensei então em publicar, na sequencia, este album antológico.

Este é o segundo dos dois albuns londrinos de Caetano, distante de sua triste bahia/brasil militarizada. O primeiro entorna tristeza enquanto este tem a excitação da descoberta de outras culturas, mas sem despregar a alma das canções brasileiras, misturando letras em ingles e portugues.

As faixas foram gravadas com amigos, brasileiros morando em Londres, num clima de jam-session.

A capa era algo totalmente o espírito da época: um objeto multifacetado e montável criado por Álvaro Guimarães.

Um dos melhores discos brasileiros de todos os tempos.

I mentioned in the post below Caetano´s record called Transa, where he recreated a classic by Monsueto, so I thought of publishing this one next.

This is the second of two albuns Caetano recorded while in exile in London (we were under a military dictatorship back then). The first is drenched with sadness but this one has the excitement of discovering other cultures, while at the same time looking back at his homeland, with lyrics in english and portuguese.

The tracks were recorded with friends, brazilian musicians living in London, in a jam-session style.

Curiosity: Nine out of ten is the first brazilian song using reggae rhythms (and one of the first non-jamaican artists to do so).

One of the best brazilian records of all time.

Caetano Veloso - Transa (1972)

01. You Don't Know Me
02. Nine Out of Ten
03. Triste Bahia
04. It's a Long Way
05. Mora Na Filosofia
06. Neolithic Man
07. Nostalgia (That's What Rock'n´Roll is all about)

all songs by Caetano except track 5 by Monsueto & Arnaldo Passos
track 3 lyrics on poems by Gregório de Mattos

arranjos de Jards Macalé, Tutti Moreno, Moacyr Albuquerque e Áureo de Sousa.

Mora na Filosofia com Monsueto, um Baita Negão

2009-05-05T15:39:00.003-03:00

A senhora subiu no morro errado! - era o bordão de Monsueto como comediante na TV. Na música, Monsueto estava no morro certíssimo. Morro do Pinto. Sambão. As músicas de Monsueto queimaram meus ouvidos no início dos anos 70 nas interpretações clássicas de Alaíde Costa & Milton Nascimento (no Clube da Esquina) e Caetano Veloso (no Transa).
Daí subi o morro musical do tempo e descobri as gravações originais, de muita batucada (ele era percussionista).
E além de tudo isso, o Comandante foi também um ótimo pintor naif.

Old school samba from the early 60´s. Monsueto was a composer, singer, percussionist, actor and TV comedian. After he stopped singing he became a quite good naif painter.
In the 70´s his songs made a comeback due to two classic recordings by Caetano Veloso (in the Transa album) and Milton Nascimento in duet with another old-timer, Alaide Costa (in the Clbe da Esquina double album).
These are the original recordings - the only LP he made - with lots of batucada.

Mora na Filosofia dos Sambas de Monsueto (1962)

• Mora na filosofia (Monsueto Menezes-Arnaldo Passos)
• Couro do falecido (Jorge de Castro- Monsueto Menezes)
• Tá pra acontecer (Monsueto Menezes-José Batista-Ivan Campos)
• Levou fermento (Monsueto Menezes-José Batista)
• Me empresta teu lenço (Monsueto Menezes-Elano de Paula-Nicolau Durso)
• Me deixa em paz (Monsueto Menezes-Ayrton Amorim)
• Rua Dom Manuel (Monsueto Menezes-Jorge de Castro)
• Senhor Juiz (Monsueto Menezes-Jorge de Castro)
• A fonte secou (Monsueto Menezes-Tufic Lauar-Marcléo)
• Copacabana de tal (Monsueto Menezes)
• Este samba tem parada (Monsueto Menezes)
• Água e azeite (Monsueto Menezes-Estanislau Silva)
• Na menina dos meus olhos (Monsueto Menezes-Flora Mattos)
• Lamento da lavadeira (Monsueto Menezes-Nilo Chagas-João Violão)
• Na casa de Antônio Job (Monsueto Menezes-Venâncio)
• No molhado (Monsueto Menezes-José Batista)
• Morfeu (Monsueto Menezes- Luiz Reis)
• Segunda lua de mel (Monsueto Menezes-Flora Mattos)
• Fogo no morro (Monsueto Menezes-José Batista)
• Eu quero essa mulher assim mesmo (Monsueto Menezes-José Batista)

E por falar em Monsueto, Virginia Rosa lançou este tributo ano passado, seus clássicos em arranjos modernos (aliás, cada faixa tem um produtor diferente). Virginia era uma das vocalistas do Isca de Polícia, de Itamar Assumpção, tem voz de negona também, e este é seu terceiro disco, um independente lançado pelo SESC.

Monsueto was a huge fellow. Virginia Rosa is a small woman but her voice is as huge as Monsueto´s. His songs appear here in her tribute album in more modern arrangements (each track with a different producer). Nice to compare the two records. And get to know Monsueto, whose songs were very popular in Brazil.

Virginia Rosa - Baita Negão (2008)

1- Sambamba
2- Eu quero essa mulher assim mesmo (Monsueto & José Batista)
3- Me deixe em paz (Monsueto & Ayrton Amorim)

Frank London's Klezmer Brass Allstars - Carnival Conspiracy

2009-04-09T09:51:00.005-03:00

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.

Mutantes

2009-04-03T00:34:00.008-03:00

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.

Curumin Live at the Village

2009-02-28T20:47:00.006-03:00

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

Shawn Philips

2009-02-15T15:57:00.015-03:00

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...)

As Cilibrinas do Éden

2009-02-08T16:05:00.006-03:00

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

Zeca Baleiro - O Coração do Homem Bomba

2009-01-27T08:41:00.009-03:00

O coração do homem bomba faz tum tum
Até o dia em que ele fizer BUM

Zeca em dose dupla, profusão de rimas internas e ritmos instigantes, trocadilhos, canções em homenagem a Odair José, Raul Seixas, Datena & Geraldo Vandré, titulos como "Jesus no Cyber Café do Inferno" e "Samba de um Janota Só", cover do Karnak... dois dos melhores discos de 2008.

The suicide bomber´s heart goes toom toom
Until the day when it will go BOOM

In 2008 Zeca Baleiro put out two records and both could be in the year´s top ten of brazilian music. The internal rhymns create interesting rhythms even for those who don´t understand the language (but which, of course, will miss his poetry of puns and word associations, and the references to famous brazilian composers like Vandré and Raul Seixas). And the song titles such as "Jesus in Hell´s Cyber Cafe".

Magnetic Fields - Distortion

2009-01-23T18:18:00.007-03:00

One of contemporary groups I enjoy the most is journalist Stephin Merritt´s Magnetic Fields, whose 2008´s release - Distortion - lives up to the name. On a fuzzy bed of sound re-Jesus-Mary-Chain, soaring melodies.

Um dos grupos atuais que curto mais é Magnetic Fields, onde o jornalista Stephen Merritt compõe, produz e toca quase tudo, gravando a maioria das faixas em apenas quatro canais. Neste lançamento de 2008, o nome do album é uma amostra do som com suas camadas de distorção à la Jesus & Mary Chain.

Magnetic Fields - Distortion (2008)

1. "Three-Way" – 3:01
2. "California Girls" – 3:00
3. "Old Fools" – 3:02
4. "Xavier Says" – 2:42
5. "Mr. Mistletoe" – 2:59
6. "Please Stop Dancing" – 3:01
7. "Drive On, Driver" – 2:51
8. "Too Drunk to Dream" – 3:00
9. "Till the Bitter End" – 3:03
10. "I'll Dream Alone" – 3:08
11. "The Nun's Litany" – 2:58
12. "Zombie Boy" – 3:05
13. "Courtesans" – 2:59

All tracks written by Stephin Merritt.

* Stephin Merritt - vocals, instrumentation
* Sam Davol - cello
* Claudia Gonson - drums, piano, Farfisa organ, backing vocals
* Daniel Handler - accordion
* Shirley Simms - vocals
* John Woo - lead guitar

Lou Reed - Claim to Fame

2009-01-20T18:50:00.004-03:00

A great concert with Lou Reed, from his Rock & Roll Heart period.
It swings more than rocks - a pretty funky gig - with the addition of Don Cherry on trumpet.

Um show excelente de Lou Reed, da época do seu Rock & Roll Heart,
e mais suingado do que roqueiro graças em grande parte ao trompete de Don Cherry.

Jack Bruce meets the BBC Big Band

2009-01-19T08:41:00.003-03:00

The pairing of rock musicians and orchestral arrangements, be it with full or chamber orchestras or even big bands, rarely work out, tending to be mushy.
This is an exception. The BBC Big Band really rocks and Bruce is still a master of the bass.

Juntar roqueiros e orquestras geralmente é uma idéia de jerico, seja com orquestras sinfonicas, de câmera ou mesmo com big bands, não dá liga.
Esta apresentação é uma exceção. A Big Band da BBC manda ver e mestre Bruce também - tem até dueto de seu célebre baixo com um bombardino.

Edith do Prato - Vozes da Purificação

2009-01-13T15:18:00.008-03:00

Edith played a plate.
Living in the interior of Bahia, she would keep the samba rhythm moving a knife along porcelain plates, creating an unique style.
Lanched by Caetano Veloso in 1973, when she was 58 years old (she´s from Caetano´s hometown), this is the only full album of her singing and plate-knocking (recorded in 2001, she was 86).

Edith do Prato died this week, at the age of 94.
At her funeral, plates were ringing!!

Da Folha de São Paulo:
Ela só foi reconhecida profissionalmente aos 58 anos, quando a maioria das mulheres faz planos para desfrutar da aposentadoria. Em 1973, o cantor e compositor Caetano Veloso apresentou Edith Oliveira Nogueira para o Brasil e diversos países ao incluir uma participação da sambista no disco "Araçá Azul".
A partir daí, a dona-de-casa, que começou aos oito anos a tirar os primeiros sons de uma cuia de queijo, ganhou um apelido que resumia a sua destreza no manejo da faca e dos pratos para o samba: Edith do Prato.
Na pacata Santo Amaro (71 km de Salvador), onde nasceu, ensinou a sua arte para centenas de pessoas e ajudou a divulgar a música do Recôncavo Baiano.
A família Veloso contribuiu para a propagação do talento. O seu único CD (independente) foi produzido por Maria Bethânia e seu sobrinho J. Veloso. Lançado em 2001, "Dona Edith do Prato e Vozes da Purificação" esgotou-se rapidamente e, dois anos depois, foi relançado pela Biscoito Fino.
Ela costumava contar a sua vida para os moradores de Santo Amaro nas tardes de domingo. Nos últimos anos, já famosa, participou de apresentações no principal palco de espetáculos da Bahia: o Teatro Castro Alves.
Internada desde dezembro, após um AVC (acidente vascular cerebral), Edith do Prato morreu na noite de anteontem, aos 94. Amigos e parentes realizaram seu último desejo: tocaram percussão enquanto o corpo era enterrado ontem à tarde. (Luiz Francisco)

Bem, viajei, voltei, estamos em janeiro e a minissérie (vide post abaixo) agora é outra, narrando uma biopic de Maysa.

Clique nos titulos, ouça,
e vá viver a sua vida com outro alguém.

Now in january brazilian TV is showing another miniseries (see post below), this time a biopic of singer Maysa, who lived a wild and tragic life, and was hugely sucessful here in the 50s & 60s.

Here are two Maysa records. The first is very rare, an american edition, an attempt to launch the singer in the USA (so with lots of american standards in her sad "fossa" style). The second is a live concert, more bossa-novish.

2. Something to remenber you by
3. The end of a love affair

7. When you love has gone
8. Mean to me

Beirut

2008-12-18T14:10:00.006-03:00

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).

The Baby Huey Story

2008-12-17T16:17:00.008-03:00

Por falar em Obama (post abaixo), é um presidente que em seu discurso de vitória citou Sam Cooke,
mudando os versos de "it´s been a long time coming / but a change is gonna come"
para "a change has come to America".

Bem, sabemos que mudanças. caso venham mesmo, serão superficiais, mas aproveito a citação para lembrar desse clássico do soul.
E citar que a melhor gravação que tenho desta música é de um cantor chamado Baby Huey (nome em ingles para o personagem Gansola - devido ao seu peso).
Confira aqui o peso, nesse disco produzido por Curtis Mayfield.

Speaking of Obama (post below) at least this is a guy who in his victory speech quotes Sam Cooke.

He changed the famous lyrics "it´s been a long time coming / but a change is gonna come" to "it´s been a long time coming / but a change has come to America".
Well... we know that changes, if they come about, will be superficial, but, anyway, this is just because i remembered the soul classic
and one of the best recordings I´ve ever heard of it
by this huge singer called Baby Huey.
Check out this record, produced by Curtis Mayfield.

2. Mama Get Yourself Together
3. A Change Is Gonna Come

Odetta sings blues, ballads and dylans

2008-12-15T09:50:00.001-03:00

A huge voice ringing through the ears & minds of the people and a solid social conscience - Odetta was soundtrack to the civil rights movement in the 60s.

Yes, Odetta was soulsister to black american music (with Nina Simone).
She forged chilling channels churning up water deep from the well of folk-blues-spirituals-worksongs, flowing into the creeks of the counterculture.
(Drenching Bob Dylan, quenching the ache in Janis Joplin´s throat, among others).

Odetta died last week, on December the 2nd.
People wrote that her heart didnt stand the thrill of seeing a black man being acknownledged as leader of the amerikan nation (the heart of that 14 year old girl who was thrown off a train because her skin didnt match those of the allowed passengers).

A pity. She was scheduled to sing - in what would maybe be the most significant moment - in Obama´s innauguration ceremony.
(At 77 Odetta still was touring and recording records on a regular basis.)

Odetta canta blues, baladas e dylans

2008-12-15T09:46:00.002-03:00

Um vozeirão fantástico de fazer vibrar as massas e uma sólida consciência política - Odetta foi a trilha sonora do movimento pelos direitos civis na América dos anos 60.

Sim, Odetta era a alma da música negra americana (junto com Nina Simone).
Forjou uma corrente eletrizante que levava a água do fundo do poço folk-blues-spirituals-worksongs para os riachos da contracultura.
(Fez a cabeça de Bob Dylan e a garganta de Janis Joplin, entre muitos outros.)

Odetta faleceu semana passada, no dia 2 de dezembro.
Dizem que seu coração não aguentou as emoções da vitória de um negro sendo reconhecido como líder da nação amerikana (o coração da menina que aos 14 anos foi expulsa de um trem por sua pele não combinar com a dos demais ocupantes do espaço).
Uma pena: estava escalada para cantar - no que seria talvez o momento mais significativo - na cerimônia de posse do Obama.
(Aos 77 anos gravava discos e fazia turnês regularmente.)

ssssoOONNnssss

2008-12-15T09:31:00.002-03:00

Tenho tido tantos prazeres auditivos e emocionais com músicas na internet, ou vindas via internet,
que penso
devo compartilhar isto com mais e mais pessoas
e repartir canções que tenho guardadas
para quem mais as encontrar.

Assim sendo criei o espaço que chamei de ssoonnss
com coisitas aqui e ali do vastíssimo acervo que venho ajuntando há decadas.

I have received so many pleasures hearing music on the internet, and from the internet,
and so i felt i should share some songs some sounds some sensations
for people who shall wander into this little space i called sssooonnnsss
which is an extended syllable for sounds in the portuguese language
which we speak where i live.

I have been listening & living to music for decades and lots of it I have kept
stored & kept to myself
or at the most for visitors in my living room.

Now my room roams across the world and the songs can be kept to all selves.
