Ramiro Musotto meets Omar Sosa - Vienna 2008

.

In the early 1980’s Ramiro Musotto - Argentinean born musician , 1964 - moved to Brazil to pursue his dream to study percussion in Salvador da Bahia. . . . There he enthusiastically absorbed the presence of the deep African-Brazilian culture that helped him to shape his talent to his own desire. His style evolved with the inclusion of many Indian/Latin American and African impressions which he approached in an almost ethnic way. As someone who always wanted to stay on top of new sounds and rhythms, he started to experiment with electronics and samplers in order to find out how they mixed with traditional percussion.

Marcos Suzano & Paulinho Moska

.


Estrela da Lapa - 07/02/2007

Vocal & Guitar : Paulinho Moska
Pandeiro : Marcos Suzano

Born in Rio de Janeiro 1967 : Pursuing an artistic career, Paulinho Moska studied theatre at the Casa das Artes de Laranjeiras in Rio. After a few jobs as an actor, he found his way back to music. . . . For Paulinho those early 90s were musically dominated by powerful rock bands like Nirvana, Lenny Kravitz and Pearl Jam. The influences of that preference are clearly noticeable on his debut album, the earlier mentioned Vontade. For music critics that album is enough reason to qualify Paulinho as a rock artist. That was not what he had in mind though. Paulinho started questioning his life as an artist. He joined a study group on the work of French theorist Gilles Deleuze, and that brought Paulinho in contact with philosophy and other art forms. Translated in music, this meant that his next album was a mixture of pop and MPB with lyrics reflecting his interest in existentialism. A few career steps later, the live album Através do Espelho (1997) added yet another new facet: the bonus track on that cd, the song "Mesmice," showed the first use of electronics in Paulinho's music. That approach grew and reached a climax on the album Mobile (1999). While touring to promote the cd, Moska, who stopped using his first name as an artist, democratically honoured the talent of his three accompanying musicians. The band was called Quarteto Móbile/Moska.

On this new album, Tudo Novo de Novo the quartet is featured again. And what a quartet that is! They matured in those few years and found the perfect balance, complementing each other's efforts. Marcos Suzano can be seen as one of Brazil's most melodic percussionists. He has the rare talent to choose the right percussion instrument to accomplish a natural interaction with the other instruments, whether those are acoustic or electric. . . . .

Paulinho da Viola with Marisa Monte - " Carinhoso "

.

Uploaded by " VideosdeCaio2 "

Born in Rio de Janeiro to a family deeply rooted in the samba tradition, Paulinho met and befriended much of Rio's samba elite as a child. His father was a guitar player and musicians like Pixinguinha and Jacob do Bandolim would often come to his house for rehearsals, which Paulinho watched for hours on end....He began writing his own songs as a teenager, but never considered a career as a professional musician until he met poet Hermínio Bello de Carvalho in 1964. By then, Paulinho was working as a teller at a bank in Rio de Janeiro, and recognised Hermínio from the jam sessions at Jacob do Bandolim's house. The two became close friends and soon began writing music together. The first song they wrote together was Duvide-o-dó, recorded by singer Isaurinha Garcia. He then began performing his own songs at a restaurant in Rio, owned by samba legend Cartola and his wife.

He got his famous nickname in 1965, when he was a member of the samba group A Voz do Morro (the voice of the hills), alongside Zé Keti and Oscar Bigode. After their first recording session, a publicist from the record label reportedly told him "'Paulo César' is not a samba name!". Zé Keti and journalist Sérgio Cabral eventually came up with the nickname "Paulinho da Viola".

By the 1970s, Paulinho was at the most prolific stage of his career, releasing an average of one album per year. He was already a household name in samba, choro and MPB circles and broadened his audience by touring all over Brazil and also playing at festivals in Europe and the U.S.. His productivity and popularity had waned by the mid-80s, when he decided to focus more on his songwriting. In 1996 he regained notoriety after releasing the much-acclaimed album Bebadosamba, in which he once again joined forces with Hermínio Bello de Carvalho and Elton Medeiros, his early songwriting partners.

A 2003 documentary called “Meu Tempo é Hoje” (My Time is Now) depicted his personal and public lives, including his relationship with his native Rio de Janeiro and its samba community. “The film depicts, both with enthusiasm and restraint, the life of a true prince,” wrote Brazilian journalist and critic José Nêummane in a review.

He still lives in Rio de Janeiro and performs around Brazil. ( Wikipedia )

3 na Massa - "Sem Fôlego"

.


" Sem Fôlego " is from the album 'Na Confraria das Sedutoras'.

3 Na Massa was founded by Rica Amabis, Pupillo and Sucinto Silva aka Dengue in São Paulo. Pupillo and Dengue play drums and bass while Rica is the magic cook, the producer of the trio. This is also where the band name stems from, 3 na massa - 3 in the dough, slang for something that makes your mouth water in expectation of a special treat.

The idea of 3 na massa came from women. Women talking about their amorous experiences with men -- moments, events that marked their life, whether seduction or desires. The songs are inspired by the sensuality of these stories. They can be happy, entertaining as well as spicy and longing like an erotic adventure in an amusement park. Under the influence of Federico Fellini's films and the work of Serge Gainsbourg of the 60s and 70s, the music could easily be the soundtrack of the illustrated stories of Millo Manara.

The debut album release is the stories (songs) of 13 different women who collaborated with the trio to create this trip through the large emotional world of women. Lending their voice to the songs are some of Brazil’s favorites: CéU, Nina Miranda, Thalma de Freitas, Karine Carvalho and Alice Braga, among others.

Rica Amabis is a producer and sound engineer working in music since 1994. In 1999 he released his first record titled "Sambadelic", a fusion of Brazilian music and electronic beats. In 2000 Rica founded the studio / production team INSTITUTO in which he and his team produced and composed music for albums such as Naçao Zumbi, Otto, Záfrica Brasil, film (The Invador, Seja O que Deus Quiser, Arido Movie, Baixio das Bestas, Cao sem dono), amongst many other special projects.

Pupillo and Dengue are members of the popular Pernambuco fusion rock band Nação Zumbi. Pupillo is also a partner of the label Candeeiro which includes artists like DJ Dolores, China and Mundo Livre. He has played on recordings by Caetano Veloso, Marisa Monte and others. ( My Space ) . Upload by " mitcr " 2008 .

Toquinho and Simone - " Samba de Orly "

.

Toquinho's professional career took off in the 1960s at shows promoted by radio personality Walter Silva at the famous Paramount theater in São Paulo. He composed his first recorded song with Chico Buarque entitled "Lua Cheia" (Full Moon) His first big hit was composed in 1970 with Jorge Benjor, "Que Maravilha" (What a Wonder).

That same year he was invited by Vinicius de Moraes, co-writer of the worldwide hit song "Garota de Ipanema" (The Girl from Ipanema), to participate in a series of shows in Buenos Aires, forming a solid partnership that would continue for 11 years and produce 120 songs, 25 records and over a thousand shows. After the death of Vinicius de Moraes in 1980, Toquinho went on to pursue a solo career, often performing with other talented musicians like Paulinho da Viola, Danilo Caymmi, Paulinho Nogueira and Chico Buarque.

Throughout his career, Toquinho always composed for children, and has five albums for children, including Arca de Noé (1980), with Vinicius de Moraes, and Casa de brinquedos (1983). Toquinho continues to record albums and play his music around the world. He is still very acclaimed in Brazil and Italy. ( Wikipedia )

Found this clip on the Black Star Liners' blog- African music development/influence in the American continent . It grows on me the more I listen.

Angenor de Oliveira, known as Cartola - Portuguese for top hat , ( 1909 - 1980) was a Brazilian singer, composer and poet considered to be a figure in the development of samba.

Cartola's family moved to Mangueira hill - due to financial difficulties, where a small favela was beginning to appear.

In Mangueira, Cartola soon befriended Carlos Cachaca and other sambistas, getting started in the world of malanragem and samba. In 1928, they founded the Arengueiros Carnival Block, which would later transform in the traditional samba school Estação Primeira de Mangueire, one of the most loved samba-schools in Brazil. Cartola is considered responsible for the choice of colors of the school, which are said to stem from the colors of football club Fluminenese , which is located in Laranjeiras. ( Wikipedia )

Maria Rita is the daughter of famed pianist/arranger César Camargo Mariano and the late Brazilian singing legend Elis Regina . ( Wikipedia )

..." Maria Ritas´ learning was made totally by instinct and in a very informal way. A conversation she had with her father, when she was younger, clearly shows it. Maria Rita asked Camargo Mariano to teach her how to play the piano. Reacting to his refusal, she said: 'OK you do not have time right? ' Her father, who is surely one of her greatest musical references disagreed; he said that he would be able to find time, if that was the issue. The problem is that he had learned to play piano by himself. 'What he plays he has learned from no one, so he has nothing to teach' understands Maria Rita now, following then a similar path. She would release her voice and that was it. She started to take singing lessons later on, to 'learn how to use the tool'. She would even like to have a formal background, but in the other hand, she is happy with the way she picked, guided by instinct and by her heart" ....( mariarita.com )

Daniela Mercury & Olodum : " Swing Da Cor "

Samba-reggae:

From the well produced Daniela Mercury's DVD " Eletrodoméstico " 2003 .

Olodum is a cultural group based in the Afro Brazilian community of Salvador, the capital city of the state of Bahia. It offers cultural activities to young people, largely centered around music; it also offers theatrical productions and other activities. Founded in 1979, its stated aims are to combat racism, to encourage self-esteem and pride among Afro Brazilians, and to fight for civil rights for all marginalized groups.

Olodum is widely credited with developing the music style known as samba reggae. Neguinho do Samba, the lead percussionist, created a mix of the traditional Brazilian samba beat with merengue, salsa, and reggae rhythms for the Carnaval of 1986. This became known as samba-reggae. This "bloco afro" music is closely tied to its African roots, as seen through its percussion instruments, participatory dancing and unique rhythm. It also directly draws from many Caribbean cultures, like Cuba and Puerto Rico.Olodum's performing band (or Banda) has released records in its own right and has been featured on recordings by Brazilian stars such as Simone and Daniela Mercury.( Wikipedia )

Maria Alcina - " Alô Alô "

Samba / MPB : Uploaded by " cantares2008 "

Owner of a distinctively low voice, Maria Alcina shook Brazil in the now-distant 1972 with her androgyny and irreverence, winning the VII Festival Internacional da Canção/FIC (International Song Festival) with "Fio Maravilha" (Jorge Ben). Others hits of hers were "Alô Alô" (André Filho) in 1973. The song, one of several taken from Carmen Miranda's repertory, was used strategically by the singer, who also employed extravagant outfits to establish a connection with Miranda's identity. During the military dictatorship, Alcina was sued due to an alleged "subversive behavior" expressed by her irreverent artistic persona. In 1974, she had success with "Kid Cavaquinho" (João Bosco/Aldir Blanc). After the '80s, she devoted herself to a repertory based on humoristic double entendre, having performed in the U.S. together with Jamelão and Emílio Santiago, a country in which she participated in 1995 in a tribute to Carmen Miranda.

Nicolas Krassik and Sergio Krakowski play at Clube dos Democráticos Ball. Footage from the brazilian TV show 'SEMENTE DA MÚSICA BRASILEIRA'.

NICOLAS KRASSIK : The 39-year-old French violinist started his studies at 5 years of age at the Conservatoire National de Region d’Aubervilliers-la Courneuve, where he studied during 14 years and graduated in classical music. He then went to study at the Jazz school (Centre de Formation Musicale de Paris) for another year. From this point on he started his professional career playing with great names in Jazz, such as Michel Petrucciani, Vincent Courtois, Didier Lockwood, Pierrick Hardy, among others. In 1999, Nicolas was invited to teach classes in improvisation at the Jazz School founded by the violinist Didier Lockwood. During his search for new sounds he discovered a great connection to Brazilian music and so decided to move to Brazil in 2001. Upon his arrival in Rio he started to go to Samba and Choro shows and jam sessions in Lapa, an old neighborhood in Rio with a strong musical effervescence. His quick integration into the Brazilian music scene resulted in the beginning of a promising solo career.

SERGIO KRAKOWSKI : Began playing pandeiro when he was 15 years old. He learned to play informally with friends, but quickly realized the richness of the instrument and began to dedicate himself more seriously to it. He is self-taught and developed his own technique, based on various influences such as Rafael Rabello, Jorginho do Pandeiro and Marcos Suzano. Freedom of expression is a primary focus in Sergio's musical path. He believes that the pandeiro has even more potenial than has been explored until this point, including the use of polyrhythms. In fact he works on a Pandeiro technique that allows one to play two different voices simultaneously. Krakowski started his professional career at 18, playing in clubs in Rio de Janeiro with some of the great names in Brazilian music. He dedicated himself to the instrumental Brazilian music style call Choro, where he found the freedom of expression he was looking for.

Bonga Kwenda (born José Adelino Barceló de Carvalho), better known as Bonga, is a pop singer and songwriter from Angola. He has released over 30 albums, singing in Portuguese and traditional Angolan languages. His tracks are a mixture of Portuguese folk sounds, semba, kizomba and latin elements.

Semba is a traditional type of music from the Southern-African country of Angola. Semba is the predecessor to a variety of music styles originated from Africa, of which three of the most famous are Samba (from Brazil), Kizomba (Angolan style of music derived directly from Zouk and Caribbean rhythms) and Kuduro (or Kuduru, energetic, fast-paced Angolan Techno/House music, so to speak). Semba comes from the singular Masemba, meaning "a touch of the bellies", a move that characterizes the Semba dance.

Semba now is fused with Zouk, kompa, Merengue, Rumba and other rhythms while still keeping traditional instrumentation. Other styles related to the Semba is Rebita, which is inspired by European line dances, as well as Kazukuta and Kabetula which are primarily Carnaval Music. ( Wikipedia )

Deize Tigrona & Tigarah with Turbo Trio

Baile Funk: Deize Tigrona with Japanese rap singer " Tigarah" . Start at 01:00 . Japanese rap at 3:17 with Tigarah.

... " After contemplating a career as a politician or ambassador, TIGARAH felt she could best speak her mind if she made music her life. So, shortly after majoring in political science at Tokyo's renowned Keio University, she started writing lyrics on her own in her tiny room in Tokyo, inspired by the Baile Funk music from Brazil. In several trips to Sao Paulo and Rio, TIGARAH immersed herself in Brazilian culture and recorded music together with local musicians. It was in Rio where TIGARAH met MR. D, who was on tour in South America at that time. Since 2003, they have been recording tracks together. After self-releasing an EP with 7 original songs, they landed a record deal in 2006. Expect their new material to transcend cultural boundaries. " ( from Tigarah's My Space )

Afro Reggae Movement documentary

WONDERFUUUUUUL scene ,@ 04:51, primary school kids practicing with Junk percussion. @5:32 useful vocal percussion to remember. @6:17 the kid on the left , "caixa player" , forefront playing his heart out ! .

. . . . " Born out of desire to counteract the violent drug industry and police oppression, Grupo Cultural AfroReggae -- GCAR ("AfroReggae Cultural Group") was formed in January 1993, initially around AfroReggae Notícias ("AfroReggae News") -- a newspaper designed to add value and disseminate black culture. The newspaper primarily targeted young people interested in reggae, soul, and hip-hop, among other musical genres. The group soon thereafter opened its first "Culture Community Center") in the Vigário Geral favela (a slum area) in 1993. In a short period of time, this center was offering its first workshops -- dance, percussion, garbage recycling, soccer and capoeira -- the foundations for new social projects. GCAR knew exactly what it was seeking with its programs: to offer a cultural and artistic education for adolescents living in slums. By affording local youth more chances of strengthening their citizenship, GCAR hoped to provide a viable path away from entanglement in the prevalent drug trade.

In 1997, AfroReggae opened Centro Cultural AfroReggae Vigário Legal , a landmark in its history. With structured facilities within the community, they were able to enhance the quality of their programs and transform the initiative into a reference point for social and cultural practices in the city of Rio de Janeiro.

In conjunction with workshops in music, capoeira, theater, hip hop and dance, Vigário also became the home for the "Criança Legal" project, designed to give support to preschool kids through programs aimed at socializing and literacy. Participant children's parents also take part in weekly meetings where subjects such as domestic violence and personal hygiene are discussed; they also receive basic-food baskets.

Of all activities offered, music has been the major driver in attracting teenagers to participate in GCAR. The success attained by Banda AfroReggae, both in artistic terms and as a social-project model, has attracted other teenagers who want to follow this same path. Today there are three other bands that have also been making public presentations: Banda Makala Música e Dança, Afro Lata and Afro Samba. There are also subgroups: Afro Mangue, Tribo Negra, Akoni and Kitôto."

Laborg

Abstract Electronica.

Quite beautiful , visually, ( @1:07 bubbles response to Samba /Cuica sound ) but the music could be disturbing at times. Some melodic classical music as well .

This Brazilian collective group of artists, from Sao Paulo, is described as : " . . . their governing concept is to set up a laboratory stage left, pottering about with glass bowls, tubes, and tanks filled with a variety of oily fluids, which are mixed, squirted, bubbled by blow darts, boiled, shaken and stirred, . . . . filmed all the while from all angles, with real time image ranged around multiple screens. . . . the music is suitable panoramic, minimally spread into slowly shifting blocks of sheer rumble, flecked by cascading crinkles. "
