Si intitola "É o que me interessa" il nuovo singolo di Lenine , uno dei migliori cantautori brasiliani del momento. La canzone si può scaricare gratuitamente dopo una breve registrazione sul sito ufficiale . Lenine mischia la tradizione cantautorale tipica del suo paese (da Caetano Veloso a Gilberto Gil , per intenderci) a un approccio contaminato dal rock. Il nuovo atteso album uscirà a settembre in tutto il mondo. Di seguito potete intanto vedere il video promozionale con un estratto del nuovo singolo. Video | Lenine "É o [...]
I have vocal tunes but I don't really feel ready yet to do them fully," he says with typical modesty and diffidence.

A few weeks ago over at collaborative music blog Star Maker Machine I had the opportunity to share Bob Marley's Stir It Up -- a song which I maintain is one of the great summersongs of all time, in spite of its subversive political undertones. In my accompanying post, I noted that: Bob Marley's greatest hits release Legend may have been just a posthumous compilation, but it was a perfect, complete set; it caught fire upon its release, bringing the sound of reggae full-bore into [...]

As I posted a few weeks ago, I'm now doing a regular DJ show on internet radio station Rllmukfm , every Tuesday between 8.30 and 11pm UK time. It's going to be a bit of everything I like, flitting between genres as I see fit - this week took in hardcore, hiphop, tropicalia, alt-indie, electronica and some others. Regardless of musical style though, I'll try and make it awesome. I'll try and post up a tracklisting each week and also post a couple of MP3s, but try and tune in if you can - just point your browser towards [...]
Soul Jazz Records : " Brazil 70 follows Brazilian music in the aftermath of Tropicalia as the country's dictatorship entered its most oppressive phase. Musicians and artists from the Tropicalia period of the late-60s such as Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, Tom Ze, Rita Lee (Os Mutantes lead-singer) and Gal Costa entered a new phase mixing rock, funk, samba and soul alongside a wealth of like-minded new artists such as Novos Baianos, Raul Seixas, Nelson Angelo and Joyce and more. With the constant threat of imprisonment, artists nevertheless managed to produce radical music that, [...]
JORGE BEN Jorge Ben - Take It Easy My Brother Charlie "Of all the musicians who came to prominence in the 1960's, Jorge Ben has always seemed to be the one to whom music-making came easiest. Feted by the Bossa crowd, the Tropicalia crowd and even the rock musicians of the Jovem Guarda, Ben has always stood outside all those movements while being able to move freely between all of them."

Gilberto Gil- No Norte Da Saudade The true test of music's brilliance comes when you're listening to something and think, "Why do I even bother to play to anything else?" That happens a lot with much of Gilberto Gil's work. Listen to how the giant of Brazilian music fuses native sounds, Bob Marley's magic and African guitar tones on 1977's Refavela . --- Guitarist Al Casey has died. --- The Junior Boys show disappointed me last night. My impressions and a photo are [...]
This, this is great. For You Can Call Me Betty's 100th post, I can sit here just in my shorts it's so hot, the football on the telly right next to me, and I get to post about Brazil. As football posts go, it doesn't get much more exciting: in the words of Mugatu, they're so hot right now - Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Adriano and, yes, Fred made the squad, the samba boys are still (as every year) the hottest property in football - I wish I could incoporate Ronaldinho's band in there, but try as I might, they're too busy [...]
