Vinicius de Moraes e Tom Jobim Começamos este texto com um desafio: tente se lembrar da primeira vez que você escutou Garota de Ipanema . E depois, de quantas diferentes versões de Garota de Ipanema você ouviu ao longo de toda a sua vida. Para o desafiado que entregar as respostas corretas, um prêmio. Afinal, a música é a segunda canção mais tocada no mundo todo, ficando apenas atrás de Yesterday ( The Beatles ), como destaca O Globo . A notícia vem da editora do grupo Universal [...]
Mia Doi Todd’s version of “Canto de Iemanjá,” one of the original Afro-Sambas by the great Brazilian songwriters Vinícius de Moraes and Baden Powell, appears on her record “Cosmic Ocean Ship” and on the new “Red Hot + Rio2” compilation. Iemanjá is the Orisha or Goddess of the Ocean in the Yoruba, Candomble, and Santeria traditions. She represents divine consciousness, healing unconditional love, feminine creativity and the essence of motherhood. The video pays homage to the rituals that take place in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil at the Praia de Iemanjá every year on February 2nd, her special saint’s [...]
The whole world is wondering (or should be wondering): "What's coming out of Rio?" A better question might be, "what hasn't been coming out of Rio?" While the city - Brazil's second largest, after Sao Paulo - does not possess the deep, immediate Afro-Brazilian musical roots one more often associates with Bahia, its music is unmistakably grounded in those same Afro-Portuguese strains that define the country's musical DNA. I could spend a lifetime talking about Bahian genres - really, they're more like the genres of Brazil itself due to the infusion of African strains in its music - [...]
- by Sabato V. of Sabatobox.com : Some people have ventured to call me lazy. Natasha once responded to such an accusation by saying “I’m not lazy, I’m Brazilian.” As a Brazilian, I understand the strategy of this response; I use it to defend my general friskiness. Friskiness, after all, is a biological necessity. These accusations of laziness, however, must be intellectualized. Instead of deconstructing “laziness”, I want to use it as a launching pad for something completely different. The “I’m Brazilian” response works because [...]
She had liked the young man's looks, and his short-sighted eyes, and his odd way of speaking, that was abrupt yet soft, just as his hands were sun-burnt and sinewy, yet with smooth nails like a woman's. His hair was sunburnt-looking too, or rather the colour of bracken after frost; his eyes grey, with the appealing look of the shortsighted, his smile shy yet confident, as if he knew lots of things she had never dreamed of, and yet wouldn't for the world have had her feel his superiority. But she did feel it, and liked the feeling; for it [...]
Download audio file (49-Saudade-Vem-Correndo.mp3) We're going to South America with this one! From Philly to Rio de Janeiro, from Cali to São Paulo, from the D to Pelourinho to Brooklyn to Salvador & right into your NKD collection! Those that know me, know that I am a huge fan of Bossa Nova/Brazilian music. It blew up by mainly young musicians & college students in the 19602s & since then has continued to be a influence in todays music from Koop to Nouvelle Vague & Jneiro Jarel. Bossanova rhythmically has Samba foundations , while harmonically the structure [...]
La musique populaire brésilienne (MPB) est un genre traditionnel souvent représenté par des noms célèbres de la bossa nova. L'un d'entre eux, Vinícius de Moraes est à l'origine de l'une des plus durables formations brésiliennes : Quarteto Em Cy . En 1964, quatre sœur choristes : Cybele, Cylene, Cynara et Cyva , furent remarquées par ce dernier alors qu'elles animaient les soirées au Bottle's Bar, un club de Rio de Janeiro. Avant d'être invitées à le suivre en tournée et enregistrer leurs premiers LP. Elles y interprètent des compositions de Moraes, [...]

Too busy with real life stuff at the mo, but been listening to music all day, this is just a quick recap of what kept me movin' and shakin' during the day. Stuff from Nomo 's Invisible Cities on Ubiquity , another one from last week's Carlos Lamartine album we featured , just can't get enough of it. Baden Powell 's Canto de Xangô version on solo guitar, a rare 12" from 70's Jamaica, The Light of Saba and the dub version of their most famous song, Lambs Bread Collie. Finally A Tribe called Quest [...]
This post will conclude this holiday/seasonal serial concept. After this, I will resume posts inspired by my intense personal life and occasional amazing live music experience (ALME) or amazing live music experience at the Che Cafe (ALMECC). Consequently, I present the most haunting and beautiful of all melodies. Herein is a tune to slash the collective face of Brian Eno subscribers and 'non-linear' editing purists. Baden Powell - Manha de Carneval
I used to think my parents were rather lame when it came to rock and roll. In 1988, I bought the Jimi Hendrix Smash Hits CD (one of my first CDs) and played it for my dad, thinking that he grew up with this stuff. He sorta recognized. I brought home Led Zeppelin IV and jammed it, and he didn't know what it was. He knew some Stones and the Beatles, etc., but there was this gap in rock knowledge that I always found frustrating, particularly as I went through my eighth-grade [...]

Baden Powell: Tapiilraiauara Serenata Do Adeus From the album Estudos . Recorded: Hawaii 1971
In fact, the status of popular Brazilian music in a worldwide perspective changed when bossa nova reached the world through the United States. That was in the early '60's. The film BLACK ORPHEUS had a lot to do with that. Although it was not a good film- in Brazil, we don't like that one. There's a new [version of that] one that's liked by Brazilians. But the music was fantastic. And for most foreigners, it was the first encounter with bossa nova. Then Joao Gilberto and Antonio Carlos Jobim came to the United States [...]

Monday is " Dueling Records Day ." Today's theme: guitar virtuosos of the 1960s and 70s. Up first, is the dreamy Baden Powell of Brasil (and Germany and Paris) with his record Apaixanado (meaning "Passionate"). Before we even play this record, Baden scores some early points with a pop-up video fun fact: he's actually named after the dude who co-founded the Boy Scouts in 1904 (Baden's father was a scout leader and idolized Powell senior). Now, onto the music. Powell dances into the ring with a rocking instrumental piece [...]
