"Just barely into her 30s, the São Paulo singer is already high on the list of her country's vocal artists. Her velvet-toned sound, focused intonation and understated but tenaciously lively rhythms are the hallmarks of a gifted, natural performer. Salmaso could easily have used those gifts in a typically high-voltage Brazilian setting....." ( The Los Angeles Times ).

América Contemporânea is a project to celebrate an encounter between 9 musicians from 7  South American Countries. Brazilian pianist Benjamim Taubkin idealized and performed in this project that united 9 musicians on stage, 4 of them Brazilian, and 6 from other Latin-American countries.

Márcio Local - " Quem Pode, Pode "

.

... " To get a sense of where Marcio Local’s sound comes from, we might begin by noting that he was born in 1976 in Realengo, a working-class neighborhood on the north side of Rio. Realengo is also home to the samba school Padre Miguel, widely regarded as having the tightest and most inventive bateria, the massive drum corps that parade behind the lavish floats during carnival..... By the time Marcio Local was born, the north side had emerged as the epicenter of a new cultural movement dubbed “Black Rio,” which attracted thousands of young people, mostly black, to all-night dance parties with soundtracks that were heavy on soul and funk. ...... The house band of this movement was the famous Banda Black Rio, led by a family friend, saxophonist Oberdan Magalhães, who used to take Marcio to hear the group at the community center of Realengo. He came of age in a neighborhood where you could start your evening at midnight gyrating to one of Rio’s best samba schools and watch the sunrise over a hundreds of kids with the latest moves grooving to James Brown and Brazil’s legendary soul singer Tim Maia. In the 1980s rock and reggae also entered the mix and by the 1990s, a vibrant home-grown dance hall culture exploded around the electronic beats of the bailes funk. All of this—roots samba, soul, funk, reggae, rap and the bailes funk—all inform Marcio’s sound. There is a touch of nostalgia in his music, but he also succeeds in rereading soul samba in innovative and even unusual ways. ( Last FM ).

Céu - 'Iracema'

Céu interpreting Adoniran Barbosa's work at the TV program "Som Brasil".

Posted by "veigadaiana" May 2010 .

Adoniran Barbosa and Elis Regina ( 1978 ) - " Iracema", "Um Samba no Bexiga" and " Saudosa Maloca".

..." In spite of the success of his songs and radio characters, Adoniran only became a star of sorts after 1973 when he recorded his first own album. That made him respected as a major composer, and gave him some media exposure. Nevertheless, through his career he continued living a simple and happy life. He had earned a private table at the Bar Brahma, one of the city's most traditional bars. 

While he never lost his love of São Paulo, towards the end of his life he became increasinly sad about the disappearance of its traditional character. "Until the 1960s," he once said, "São Paulo still existed, but since then I have been looking for it, and could not find it. Brás, where is Brás now? And Bexiga, where is it? I was told to look for the Sé. Could not find it. all I see is cars and concrete."

While his music continued to be played, Adoniran himself was gradually forgotten by the public; so that when he died in 1982, in relative poverty, he had at his side only his wife and a brother in law." ( wikipedia )

Mariana Aydar -" Aqui em Casa "

.

In 2000, Mariana Aydar made her professional debut in Miltinho Ediberto's band, an extraordinary folk guitar player. She naturally became acquainted with young and talented musicians, which led to the creation of Banda Carua, where she teamed up as a vocalist for two years, performing alongside Chico Cesar and Virginia Rosa.

In 2004, Mariana wanted to broaden her horizons. She moved to Paris, at the time a scene of high cultural effervescence that mixed Brazilian music, young talents, alternative radio stations, Frenchmen in love with our music and a great desire of creating new things. During this time of discoveries, Mariana met Seu Jorge, who invited her for the opening act of his European tour. “In Paris, after listening to Minha Missao [My Mission], by Joao Nogueira and Paulo Cesar Pinheiro, I realized how much the samba songs are part of the Brazilian essence and I felt that I needed to come back to produce something that would share this soulfulness”, she tells us.

With all this inner motivation, Mariana returned to Brazil in 2005, with the intention of starting up work on her first album. Meanwhile, she was slated as guest artist in concerts of some big names like Joao Donato and Dominguinhos.

One could unmistakably say that Mariana Aydar is the perfect translation of a contemporary feel that searches for the reencounter of tradition and also of its transformation. More than ever, Brazilian music is alive and kicking and audiences are increasingly interested in it. Samba songs are being rediscovered and traditional beats have invaded the territory of electronic music. The lyrics are once again singing about candomble and samba-rock is cheering up the warm nights and the dance floors.

At 26, Mariana Aydar is considered one of the most promising singers of her generation. Not limited to passing fads or prudish purisms, she drinks from the fountainhead with no fear of putting her own mark to it. Totally at ease, her voice gracefully moves from samba rhythms to classic songs, from forro music to contemporary sounds. Her acknowledged influences are, among others, Roberto Ribeiro, Joao Nogueira, Jackson do Pandeiro, Luiz Gonzaga, Marina Lima, Lulu Santos, Leci Brandao, Elis Regina and Lenine.

Adoniran Barbosa ( 1910 - 1982  )

Adoniran Barbosa's favorite musical style is the "samba paulista", the samba of São Paulo, generally despised by the "sambistas" of Rio de Janeiro. A feature of this style is the "samba de breque" ("brake samba"), where the music is suddenly interrupted to make space for a few spoken words, or a sudden reversal in the melodic line. 

Among his compositions included "Trem das Onze" ("The 11 PM Train", 1964), which has been ranked one of the five best samba songs ever .

Roberta Sá - "Foi Ela"

.


Roberta Sá interpreted Ary Barroso's work " Foi Ela " . Som Brasil progam .

" Sometimes good things do come from very unexpected places. Take, for example, the TV show Fama from Globo TV in Brazil. The show is similar to American Idol in which contestants struggle for a chance to make it big with a brand new solo career. Roberta Sá (Natal, Rio Grande do Norte) was one of such contestants, and even though she was not the winner in that 2002 show, she has started off on the right foot....

Outside the show, Roberta Sá first got the attention of critics when she recorded Dorival Caymmi's "A Vizinha do Lado" for a Globo TV novela soundtrack. That led her to meet with producer and guitarist Rodrigo Campello. He is responsible for the production of her debut album, a good release with a balanced repertoire of classic and contemporary Brazilian music, including sambas, côco and a waltz.

Ney de Sousa Pereira, known as Ney Matogrosso, is a singer who is distinguished for his uncommon sopranino voice. In 1971, he moved to Sao Paulo, adopting the artistic name Ney Matogrosso, and joined the glam rock group Secos & Molhados, which in less than 18 months became a phenomenon, selling 1 million records. Endowed with a unique counter-tenor voice and a striking stage presence, Ney's career soared.

Famous for his outlandish costumes, make-up, daring movements and singular high-pitch voice, Ney has always been regarded as a polemic character. ( Wikipedia )
