La Samba Chula (ou Samba de Roda) est au Brésil ce que le Delta Blues est à l'Amérique du Nord, en ce sens qu'elle a influencé une grande partie de la musique populaire brésilienne . Maintenant en voie de disparition, elle fut introduite à Bahia par les esclaves Bantous et s'est développée dans les champs de canne à sucre. Avec leurs familles et amis de la petite communauté de São Braz, les frères Saturno tentent de garder la Samba Chula aussi vivante que possible. Une sorte [...]
The sounds of Carnivale collide with the sounds of funk and electronica on this new Galactic track, "Magalenha." Look for the band's latest release, Carnivale Electricos , on Anti- .
Here are a few more photos from the private party we dj-ed at Bridgewater's in December.
New York dj's Freqnik & WDRE are quite prolific and always clogging up my inbox (haha). I have to give it to them, they are committed to the game and should be 'cuz their music is dope. I dig their sound and respect the work ethic. Enjoy these jammers from them and check them out on their Soundcloud .

" Saudade ". Ce mot intraduisible en français est peut-être celui qui résume le mieux l'oeuvre de Jorge Ben , l'homme qui a marqué la musique auriverde d'une pierre blanche. Fils des favelas de Rio, il se passionne d'abord pour le futebol et réussi à intégrer l'équipe junior du Flamengo. C'est son père, Augusto Menezes, joueur de pandeiro pour le groupe Cometas De Rio qui initie le jeune Jorge aux rythmes de la samba . Sa guitare à la main, il se produit pour ses copains dans les bars et [...]
I'm sure I've said it before, but the Satanique Samba Trio don't play samba, aren't a trio, and are only very slightly Satanic. And what's wrong with that? Why should devil worship be the province of greasy-haired Nords wearing dead sheep over their shoulders? Our lord of malefaction has bright red skin and he goes around naked, of course he's going to be more comfortable in Brazil than in Scandinavia. The devil is fiery, of course he's going to want something with a bit of rhythmic flair. That's what the Satanique Samba Trio give him, [...]
The jazz harmonica master plays live with his quartet.
Excellent new album from the Franco/Italian alliance strike force J.C. Satan on Slovenly. Probably escapes a bit the label garage punk guidelines but nevertheless a massive LP that goes from blasting sonic fuzzed out wall of sound to shoegaze noise delights and delicious psychedelic pop 70s reminiscent, exquisite and almost theatrical rich scenarios that haven't experience since Deus "Worst Case Scenario", a demonstration of pure class and most definitely the band to watch. J.C. SATÀN "Hell Death Samba" LP by J.C. Satàn
Eis o projecto em acção! O Penna Firme, perfilado há dias aqui no Lounge, está a procura de financiamento para poder gravar um vídeo para a música Um Corpo Só, que podem ouvir a baixo. Sobre o Projecto: "Penna Firme vem através do Zarpante chamar vocês para participarem de seu mais novo evento – a gravação do clipe Um Corpo Só – música em [...]
Sunday nights are always a good time for exploring new music. I was in the mood for something relaxed and flowing, and Moça Bonita by Penna Firme fits the bill perfectly. I was introduced to this Brazilian artist by Henrique, the one of the minds behind Zarpante . Penna Firme's samba is light, modern, and urbane; it's very easy to listen and goes down splendidly. The album, Levando a Vida Assim, is Penna's first and is available for free download over on Musicoteca's website . Among the standout tracks, besides the contagious Moça Bonita, are the excellent Sonho [...]
Cantautrice raffinata e apprezzata, Adriana Calcanhotto è la nuova voce femminile del Brasile, con il vantaggio di essere un'intellettuale e, quindi, di personalizzare i generi della MPB. "Maré", uscito tre anni fa, forse è la sua punta di diamante ma "O Microbio do Samba" è un lavoro più maturo e astruso, nonostante sia facilmente catalogabile come samba. In realtà, quel ritmo costantemente ripetuto ricorda solo il genere trattato e diviene un altro da sé, una deriva inconfondibile, inedita e d'autore. Anche le tematiche sono propriamente quelle della canzone popolare e del samba ma l'approccio è [...]
Baden Powell Os Afro-Sambas (DRG, 2011) The great Brazilian guitarist Baden Powell and composer Vinicius de Moraes had one of the most successful partnerships in Brazilian Popular Music (MPB). In 1966 they recorded an essential album titled Os Afro Sambas that explored the African roots in Brazilian music. This release, also titled Os Afro-Sambas is a reissue of a new version of the album which Powell recorded in in 1990. The reason for recording the album again is that Baden Powell was not satisfied with the sound quality of the original recording. "It [...]

Brooklyn's own Slow Dance has a sweet (literally) tune out called 'Sweetness.' It's quite the introduction for us here and definitely worthy of adding the collective to ours and your radar watch. A very chill cut to get through the day is below. Slow Dance - Sweetness Download
Artist : LightGuides Title : Samba Samba Samba Label : Alcopop! BUY IT Rock music; so easy to over-egg and so hard to do well. If the last forty-odd years is anything to go by then the previous statement seems about right. Thankfully for every ball-grabbing stadium rawk monstrosities there have been a host of fist-pumping, life-affirming bands. Scottish three-piece LightGuides thrust themselves firmly into the second category with their debut ' mini-album ' Samba, Samba, Samba [...]
Colman Brothers by Colman Brothers The self-titled debut LP from the Colman Brothers via Wah Wah 45s is inspired by samba and sounds from the golden age of jazz music in the 60s and 70s. Fronting this hi-energy family ensemble are Andrew and Mat Colman, arranging and performing on trumpet and trombone. The Colman sister, Sara, even appears as a guest vocalist on this LP. This little gem brings to mind moody late-night jazz clubs of the past. From the opening track "Mr. G"-a fitting tribute to Dizzy Gillespie-to the foreboding "The Chief," [...]
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 - [...]
Samba Samba Samba is the debut mini-album of Scottish pop-punk group Lightguides. As someone who avoided the noughties pop/punk/emo trend like Ghaddaffi dodging Tomahawks, I have to say I was a little reticent about the idea of there still being remnents of the 'Blink' influence in 2011 (I have been known to swear at DJs for playing My Chemical Romance and walk out of clubs after hearing the first bar of a Panic At The Disco! song).

These tunes are for a lazy afternoon drive. Flight Facilities' track "Foreign Language" put me in the mood, and the rest fell into place from there - this mix is a collection of upbeat, guitar-driven songs that range from the meditative ("Her Morning Elegance") to the festive ("Coulibaly" - a favorite from Mali), to some classic samba ("Disfarça E Chora"). Flight Facilities - Foreign Language Alphawezen - Speed of Light Amadou & Mariam - Coulibaly Oren Lavie - Her Morning Elegance J Viewz - Salty Air [...]
We are in this period now where we all are trying to be in shape physically and deny ourselves any pleasure. ~ Carly Simon Legendary Weapons - Wu-Tang Clan - Ghostface Killah, AZ and M.O.P - Production on this head banger was done by Brooklyn outfit, The Revelations. It's soulful, bouncy and fun as hell. Enjoy. via Nobody Does it Better - Radiohead - Carly Simon - Really cool cover that maintains much of [...]
