Feb 18, 2011, 1:02pm on the spur of the moment
Black Orpheus
Yesterday, Montreal was teased by the short-lived presence of a familiar celestial figure. Personally, I was gettin' my tan on as I walked to school, coat slung over my right shoulder: there's nothing like the feeling of el sol toasting the back of your neck, all the while gleaming over a melting scenery left by months of snow and sub-zero temperatures. Brazilian airs whistled out of my lips, ecstatic to poke out of their hibernation. And then night came. Rain. [...]

Lucas Santtana

Feb 12, 2011, 6:26pm Caipirinha Lounge
Lucas Santtana Lucas Santtana, por Revistanoize I really like this guy, the intricate simplicity of his music, the texture and sound of his combination of voice and guitar. I started listening to Lucas Santtana after a tip from Paula Carvalho at Oi Música , and was struck by his originality and the way he deconstructs the use of the ubiquitous guitar in Brazilian music. My introduction to Lucas Santtana's interpretation of Brazilian music was Sem Nostalgia, already his fourth studio album. Sem Nostalgia is a luscious collection of intriguing music and a [...]

Tulipa Ruíz

Jan 29, 2011, 3:44pm Caipirinha Lounge
Tulipa Ruíz Tulipa Ruíz, by Gerardo Lazzari You press play on the song Efêmera and a softly strummed guitar greets your expectant eardrums, followed by a somewhat laid back percussionist doing his thing, and then that voice. That beautiful, exquisite voice. The voice comes from a body that belongs to a woman that goes by the name of Tulipa Ruíz, and she's Brazil's newest MBP sensation, shooting to prominence following well-received and critically acclaimed live performances. Her album was an instant success, as her fans were left captivated with her witty lyrics, simple [...]

Onde Anda Você, Mallu Magalhães (2010)

Jan 27, 2011, 9:33am Le Mellotron
Très populaire au Brésil depuis deux ans, Mallu Magalhães n'a que 18 ans et déjà deux albums à son actif qu'elle a composés dans leur intégralité. Si ceux-ci sont majoritairement folk-rock et chantés en anglais, la jeune fille élevée aux Beatles, Bob Dylan et Johnny Cash semble prendre petit à petit un chemin plus proche de ses origines. On ne peut que s'en réjouir à la découverte de cette performance live où elle reprend le " Onde Anda Você " composé par Toquinho pour Vinicius de Moraes. Une voix ingénue qui rend un parfait écho [...]

Editor's Pick: The Top 10 Lusophone Albums of 2010

Jan 17, 2011, 8:45pm Caipirinha Lounge
Editor's Pick: The Top 10 Lusophone Albums of 2010 Read this first / Leia isto primeiro 10. Angolan Sound Experience, by Various Artists (Angola) I loved the idea and the concept behind this album , but more than that, Totó's version of the Angolan classic 'Muxima' by itself would have guaranteed this two-disc album a place on this list. All jokes aside, at at time when popular pre-independence Angolan music is on a global resurgence, it's nice to see the in-house musicians [...]

Lero-Lero, Luisa Maita (2010)

Jan 3, 2011, 4:21am Le Mellotron
La carrière de cette chanteuse et compositrice originaire de la Bella Vista - célèbre quartier italien de São Paulo - fut gracieusement influencée par sa famille. Sa mère, Myriam Taubkin , est une grande productrice de concerts. Son père, Amado Maita , est un musicien multi-instrumentiste d’origine syrienne mêlant jazz et MPB dans un style proche de celui d’Edu Lobo. Mais ce sont des collaborations avec son oncle Benjamin Taubkin , le pianiste et fondateur du label Nucleo Contemporaneo , ainsi qu’avec le producteur Beto Villares qui façonneront les [...]

Bicicletas, Bolos, e Outras Alegrias, by Vanessa da Mata

Dec 14, 2010, 3:08pm Caipirinha Lounge
Bicicletas, Bolos, e Outras Alegrias, by Vanessa da Mata Bicicletas, Bolos e Outras Alegrias is Vanessa da Mata’s fourth studio album and one of the best Lusophone records I’ve heard all year. Once again, the production quality on this album is top notch, even more so than Sim, and listening to them on quality headphones is an experience in and of itself. It’s often said that MPB (Brazilian Popular Music) is a bit stale and repetitive but this is one of those albums that comes out every six months or so and stuns us all. It highlights Vanessa’s uniqueness and freedom in a way that Sim was unable to [...]

De Conversa Em Conversa: CELSO FONSECA – VOZ E VIOLAO

Nov 16, 2010, 11:23am Indie For BUNNIES
De Conversa Em Conversa: CELSO FONSECA – VOZ E VIOLAO Il 26 ottobre è uscito in Italia “Voz e Violao”, il nuovo lavoro di Celso Fonsec a su etichetta Microcosmo. Si tratta di un cd+dvd registrato dal vivo in cui l'interprete brasiliano omaggia i suoi maestri e gli artisti che hanno influito nella sua produzione artistica. Si tratta di una registrazione preziosa non solo per la scaletta ma per l'atmosfera che riesce a ricreare, intima, che ricorda talvolta i live voce e chitarra di Caetano Veloso ma, al tempo stesso, offre qualcosa di nuovo, grazie alle programmazioni elettroniche usate come accompagnamento. Diciannove brani imperdibili [...]

Bebe

Bebe Clear blue skies and a breeze here in Istanbul, so we're back to Brasilian music for the time being. A selection including Airto Moreira's cover of Hermeto Pascoal's Bebe . Ary Barroso's Lá Vem A Baiana from his 1958 album with Dorival Caymmi, Baden Powell's version of Vinicius ' Canto De Xangô, first song on undomondo from the late bossa nova and MPB queen Nara Leão and a reprise for Quarteto em Cy.

Concert Review: Luisa Maita (@luisamaita) at SOBs

Nov 6, 2010, 8:55pm Boom Boom Chik
Concert Review: Luisa Maita (@luisamaita) at SOBs Brazilian singer-songwriter Luisa Maita made her debut North American performance this past Wednesday, November 3rd at SoHo's famous SOBs (Sounds of Brazil) and the word of the night was "subtle". She took the stage with three musicians - a guitarist, bassist, and drummer - which, at first glance, seemed a bit bare. The sheer volume and depth that her debut, Lero-Lero , carries suggested a much larger band would be accompanying her, but the performance given from the talented musicians suggested nothing was missing. Maita opened the [...]

Tudo Que Você Podia Ser, Quarteto Em Cy (1972)

Oct 21, 2010, 8:00am Le Mellotron
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, [...]

Maria Rita

Oct 9, 2010, 5:09pm Caipirinha Lounge
Maria Rita Perhaps the quality of Maria Rita's voice will betray her immediate lineage, perhaps not. But the daughter of the legendary Elis Regina (and pianist César Camargo Mariano ) can certainly hold her own as an artistic talent without being compared to her mother. Educated at NYU, Maria Rita first made her stamp on international 'world music' with the release of her eponymous album in 2003, her most successful to date (nominated for a Latin Grammy Award as Album of the Year) and from where the track Cara Valente below comes from. Recently however [...]

André Mehmari & Gabriele Mirabassi – Miramari

Sep 26, 2010, 9:59am Indie For BUNNIES
André Mehmari & Gabriele Mirabassi – Miramari La casa discografica Egea di Perugia ha all'attivo un catalogo da far invidia che riesce a inglobare tutto il meglio del jazz e della world music. “Miramari” testimonia l'incontro tra il talentuoso giovane pianista brasiliano André Mehmari e il nostro clarinettista Gabriele Mirabassi in un vortice di emozioni senza fine. Approdato ormai ad una soluzione stilistica molto vicina alla musica brasiliana, Gabriele Mirabassi , grazie all'intercessione di Guinga , conversa piacevolmente con il collega pianista fluminense e il duo si mantiene in equilibrio tra estrazioni classiche e sapori direttamente provenienti [...]

Maria Gadú

Sep 6, 2010, 4:07pm Caipirinha Lounge
Maria Gadú It must be something in the water. How else do you explain São Paulo's ability to inspire and create great musician after great musican? Maria Gadú's been my latest infatuation, courtesy of a tip from my good friend Renzo. The song he sent me was Shimbalaiê, a hit single from Maria's debut album and a song she apparently composed when she was only 10 years old. 30 seconds into it and I was sold on this promising 23-year-old that now calls Rio de Janeiro her home. And that was before I listened to Lounge, a sensual, laid-back downtempo sundowner that [...]

Em Nagoya Eu Vi Eriko, by Seu Jorge

Sep 3, 2010, 4:01pm Caipirinha Lounge
Em Nagoya Eu Vi Eriko, by Seu Jorge Hardly a day goes by anymore that I don't listen to Seu Jorge. What an artist. Whether it be on the silver screen or on stage, Mané Galinha or the front man for the wildly successful Seu Jorge & Almaz project, the man just keeps reinventing himself. His versatility and scope is mesmerizing: on one album he is doing a heartfelt Portuguese rendition of a David Bowie track, while on the next he is crooning Michael Jackson's Rock With You. But perhaps my favorite Seu Jorge jam is Em Nagoya Eu Vi Eriko, from his album 'Carolina'. It [...]

Luísa Maita Remixed

Aug 27, 2010, 8:45pm Caipirinha Lounge
Luísa Maita Remixed What a beautiful story she has become. I first featured Luísa Maita back in June, before her CD was released by Cumbancha Discovery . Since then, Luísa's music has exploded in popularity among lusophone music lovers, 'world music' fans, and the public in general. Evidently, I wasn't the only one to be enamored by her sultry voice and her exciting musicality. The girl from São Paulo reached #1 on iTunes Latin charts, #1 on Amazon Latin bestseller charts, and American NPR (National Public Radio) called her the "new voice of Brazil." I've devoured her [...]

Lô Borges - 'Aos Barões'

Aug 16, 2010, 2:20am Escucharemos
Lô Borges - 'Aos Barões' Sifting through great Brazilian records from yesteryear I came across a stunning 15-track album by Lô Borges. My list of favorite Brazilian artists is growing at a steady rate, and Lô Borges, like the likes of Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil and Gal Costa, never lets me down. Although it’s from 1972, the self-titled LP sounds like it could be fresh off the press, but I suppose the steadfast classiness should have been a tip-off that it’s almost forty years old. Oddly enough, I was first introduced to Lô Borges quite anachronistically by Phoenix with their Kitsune Tabloid release last year. [...]

Caipirinha Lounge Cinema: Alento, by Luísa Maita

Jul 26, 2010, 8:33am Caipirinha Lounge
Her CD gets better with age and it's become a mainstay for those quiet nights or relaxing days. Her voice seduces softly and if it weren't enough she's quite nice to look at as well. According to Luísa, 'Alento' talks about the daily grind in São Paulo and how Paulistas wake up early everyday to chase their dreams. The video is an ode to São Paulo. Quanto mais oiço, mais me apaixono com o álbum da Luísa Maita. O disco tem se tornado um parceiro em noites sossegadas ou em dias relaxados. A sua voz seduz [...]

Seu Jorge & Almaz

Jul 24, 2010, 6:22am Caipirinha Lounge
Seu Jorge & Almaz If there was ever a perfect psychedelic soul samba summer album, Seu Jorge & Almaz is damn well near it. It's a collaboration between Seu Jorge , Nação Zumbi collective Pupillo (drums) and Lúcio Maia (guitarist), along with António Pinto on bass. Each of the four are excellent, very well respected artists in their own right, and their on-studio chemistry on this album, their first together, is palpable. Seu Jorge is already known as one of the best voices in Brazil right now, with his deep baritone instantly recognized by anyone with an inkling of interest in contemporary MPB. [...]
