If there's something that defines Brazilian music beyond its irresistible beat and gorgeous melodies it must be the incredibly laid back feeling of the both the music makers and the feeling invoked in the listener. Tropical heat and humidity may be the enemies of hard work, but not for these musicians - languidity rules the day! So here we have a show featuring some cool laid back grooves for late night listening or driving the Via Dutra, Rio to Sao Paulo in a purple 1973 Puma! Kicking off with Sebastiao Neto's own version of the Sergio Mendes hit 'After Sunrise' (Tiu Ru Ru), then founding father Johnny Alf's tribute to lesser known end of Copacabana beach, 'Leme'. Marcos Valle sent this musical postcard to Tom Jobim when he was in the States, Gal Costa sings Jorge Ben & Toquinho's classic waiting in the rain love song, 'Que Maravilha' and Djavan does jazzy with Beiral. Funk soul godfather Tim Maia takes the level down a notch with his super slow ans sexy 'Me De Motivo' and Benito de Paula grooves on his 'Fui Sambando, Fui Chegando'. Carlos Lyra's lovely 'Afro-latino' is followed by Bebeto from Tamba Trio and another song that Sergio Mendes made famous outside Brazil - 'Cancao do Nosso Amor' with fellow tamba man Luiz Eca on fender rhodes. Finally, we finish off with more laid back rhodes, this time from the late singer & pianist Ana Mazzotti and her 'Roda Mundo' - Brasil Relax.....! 1.Sebastiao Neto - After Sunrise (Tiu Ru Ru) 2. Johnny Alf - Leme 3. Marcos Valle - Ao Amigo Tom 4. Gal Costa - Que Maravilha 5. Djavan - Beiral 6. Tim Maia - Me De Motivo 7. Benito de Paula - Fui Sambando, Fui Chegando

This show features the influence of africa on brasilian pop music. Just like elsewhere in the world in the early 60s there was a rising conciousness among musicians about the roots of the music they played, and as bossa nova became more popular, many returned to the african roots of the samba to add new/old life into the work. . Noriel Vilela was the basso profundo with Nilo Amaro e Seus Cantores de Ebano and made this one deep macumba album with choppy hammond grooves, Helcio Milito took his influence of percussion to his production work on the super rare Krishnanda, a fusion of angola, brasil and india from 1968, Neco's version of Menescal's Adriana keeps the afro 5/4 beat, whilst ace pianist covers the Baden & Vinicius Afro Samba Consolacao in full samba jazz form. One of the deepest small groups Os Ipanemas hit the Congo, whilst Tema 3 play their original Afro. Candomble makes itself felt in the very afro Orquestra Afro-Brasileira and Tire o Calandu and Os Tincoas angolan rhythms with soul harmonies on Atabaque Chora. Jorge Ben's trip to Nigeria in 76 where he met Fela Kuti left this deep impression from the Africa Brasil album about Flamengo no 10 Zico, whilst Helcio Milito and his Tamba crew explore Antonio Carlos & Jocafi's Ossain. Finally pop soul superstar Wilson Simonal joins the black and proud movement with his rousing Africa, Africa!! 1. Noriel Vilela - Saravando Xango 2. Krishnanda - Ritual Negro3. Neco - Adriana 4. Tenorio Jr - Consolacao 5. Os Ipanemas - Congo 6. Tema 3 - Afro 7. Orquestra Afro-Brasileira - Tire o Calundu 8. Os Tincoas - Atabaque Chora 9.

Before the ubiquitous status of the acoustic guitar in bossa nova, there was only one instrument that everyone wanted to play - the sanfona! Related to the european accordion and the argentinean bandoneon the sanfona was the featured instrument in musica regional, a kind of folk-cowboy music from the interior of both north and south brasil. Bossa Nova swept the sanfona away almost overnight except for the few practitioners featured in this show, that took the instrument to new jazzy and funky heights. Multi-instrumentalist Sivuca developed his inimitable sanfona and scat vocal style and used it to great effect on many albums - here with Luiz Henrique. This is followed by the young pretender Dominguinhos backing Doris Monteiro on his hit Eu So Quero Um Xodo, then back to roots for forro genius Jackson do Pandeiro's catchy Sebastiana. Joao Donato's odd piano style and rhythm grew out of his first playing accordion and here at 17 years old he leads Os Namorados and then still 16 duets with Luiz Bonfa on Minha Saudade from 1953. Sivuca returns backing Heraldo do Monte (later part of Quarteto Novo with Sivuca doppelganger Hermeto Pascoal) on Orlann Divo's Samba Blim, then on his own Swedish album form 1969. Dominguinhos moved away from tradition to a kind of funk forro fusion and Sivuca plays for Antonio Carlos & Jocafi on Chuculatera, then backs up Marcos Valle on his funky Campina Grande from the album he made with Leon Ware, followed by a super catcht track with Nara Leao on Edu Lobo on Lobo's Repente. Sivuca scatting once more from 1969 on Deodato's Razao de Viver (By the Way) and then back to Dominguinhos for the outro funky number Eu Vou de Banda. Os sanfoneiros add their magic touch to the huge pallette that is brasilian music! 1. Luiz Henrique (w/ Sivuca) - A Trip to Brazil 2. Doris Monteiro (w/ Dominguinhos) - Eu So Quero Um Xodo 3. Jackson do Pandeiro - Sebastiana 4. Os Namorados (w/Donato)- Eu Quero Um Samba 5. Luiz Bonfa (w/ Donato) 6. Heraldo e Seu Conjunto (w/ Sivuca) - Tamanco no Samba (Samba Blim

Despite its many innovations Brazilian music was for many years a very traditional business and long after the Beatles and Rollings Stones had made writing and arranging your own songs de rigeur, Brazilian labels still used maestros to arrange almost all their artists, even those with their own arranging skills like Edu Lobo and Joao Donato were made to use in house arrangers. Some of those arrangers however, transcended the humdrum and created fantastic and innovative arrangements for their recording sessions. In this show we find Moacir Santos, the self taught genius who ghost wrote for Lalo Schifrin (Coisa No 5 is Mission Impossible - listen!), jazz player J.T Mereilles, here arranging a trad samba, Mario Castro Neves' great pop bossa vocals arrangements, serious composer Rogerio Duprat mixing erudite with fuzz box guitars, paulista trumpeter Carlos Piper doing foreign pop hits, '>Erlon Chaves, another trumpeter who gave up serious jazz for the glamour of the TV pop world, Orlando Silveira, arranger for Marcos Valle amongst others, Jose Bertrami founder of Azymuth and one of the most prolific arrangers in Brazil, the awesome Hareton Salvanini doing pornochancadas soundtracks, (nowadays jingles in Sao Paulo), Tamba Trio's Luiz Eca creating legendary arrangements in a single weekend for Milton Nascimento's first LP in 67, jazzer Antonio Adolfo sidetracking and helping to create samba jazz fusion, organist Ed Lincoln, not normally though of as an arranger, but who certainly is, and finally the genius of Joao Donato, creating complex polyrhythms from simple building blocks. These are just some of the Great Arrangers of Brazil! 1. Moacir Santos - Coisa No 5 Nana 2. Mereilles e Sua Orquestra - Tristeza Pe No Chao 3. Mario Castro Neves & Samba S.A. - Vem Balancar 4. <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=TPN1Sd0boi8&offerid=99176&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fphobos.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZStore.woa%252Fwa%252FviewArtis

This show features the edgy side of samba. Far from the tourist image of carnival or the purist samba of world music labels, there has always existed a wonderful synthesis of samba with other kinds of music, whether it's bossa nova, rock, afro, or in the late 60s and early 70s the influence of blues and psychedelic garage bands. Kicking off with the incredible Oswaldo Nunes a hard core sambista joined for one magic LP by The Pop's a beat group with a penchant for odd cover versions. Next up is Luiz Eca & Sagrada Familia with their take on Jorge Ben's Pais Tropical. Eca was holed up in Mexico in the late 60s with a whole load of other bossa groups and made this record for a Mexican hotel label! The Golden Boys started out as pure doowop but gradually crossed over towards where bossa was meeting rock in the song festivals. Bola 7 spent the 60s and 70s in the US but made this track with amplified guitar sounding almost high life in 1962 in Rio. The awesome samba soul band Fuzi 9 made up of soldiers and featuring Carlos Dafe renders the classic Poeira. Jorge Ben recorded this Vamos Embora Uau with Mereilles, followed by ace drummer Wilson Das Neves and Dom Salvador and Arnoldo Medeiros' Moeda Reza e Cor. Gary McFarland's Fried Bananas gets treatment from Raul de Souza in pre jazz funk days, the great Mereilles arranged Antonio Adolfo's Sa Marina (Pretty World). Producer Durval Ferreira put the seeds of Azymuth together to make this pop hits LP version of Que Maravilha under the name Patropi and the Golden Boys return on this rare Song Festival recording of Antonio Carlos & Jocafi's Hipnose. The show bows out with one time Gal Costa backing group Os Brazoes and the much sampled Jorge Ben / Toquinho track Carolina Carol Bela! 1. Oswaldo Nunes & The Pop's - Ta Tudo Ai 2. Luiz Eca & Familia Sagrada - Pais Tropical 3. Golden Boys - Fumace 4. Bola 7 - Negrito del Batey 5. Fuzi 9 - Poeira 6. Jorge Ben - Vamos Embora Uau 7. WIlson das Neves - Moeda, Reza e Cor 8. Raulzinho & Impact 8 - Fried Bananas 9. Meirelles e sua Orquestra - Sa Marina 10. Patropi - Que Maravliha 11. Golden Boys - Hipnose 12. Os Brazoes - Carolina, Carol Bela

whatever you want to call it, samba soul, soul samba, funky samba, it's clear that soul music and its instrumentation of heavy electric bass and funky fender rhodes with stabbing horn sections was as much of an influence on late 60s and 70s samba as jazz and its instruments had been on the previous decade. suddenly, even artists with as deep samba roots as elza soares had crossed the line and were producing albums peppered with funky numbers danceable in nightclubs not just in the 'quadras'. this set leads off with 40s revivalists austro-brazilian jorge mautner and the original version of his seminal maracatu atomico, followed by luiz antonio's take on ivan lins' 1972 hit madalena. jorge ben copyist bebeto's a beleza e voce menina, the rare copa 7 version of leci brandao's amigo branco and os devaneios' embalo diferente are all classic examples of 70s zona norte nightclub baile funk. dila and elza soares (with roberto soares) stand up for the women with two fantastically groovy numbers followed by crooners djalma dias and emilio santiago with antonio carlos & jocafi's as moca da gamalera and jorge ben's faux- english brother respectively, backed up with the cream of mid 70s studio players like joao donato, orlandivo and azymuth. tim maia compadre hyldon has the anthemic hit, guitarras, violinos e instrumentos de samba that is exactly what the title says! this show ends with two old school items, 50's jazz stylist johnny alf with an atypical (for him) mid 70s afro candomble funk featuring alf on electric piano, and erasmo carlos' version of the song that 'invented' bossa nova, jobim's desafinado - here in an extraordinary arrangement led by joao donato and featuring banda black rio! 1. jorge mautner- maracatu atomico 2. aquarius y luiz antonio - madalena 3. bebeto - a beleza e voce menina 4. os devaneios - embalo diferente 5.

this show features the work of brazilian soul legend tim maia, from the early 70s through the mid 80s including the great period of work when tim was the main income generator for the cult of energia racional (rational energy) and its 'bible' o universo em desencanto (universe in disenchantment). after starting out in a loose group which included other tijuca luminaries jorge ben , erasmo and roberto carlos, tim took off for europe and the usa for much of the 60s. in the states he was briefly in a vocal soul group and was imprisoned in florida for a minor infraction. it was there that he soaked up the black consciousness and immersed himself in the soul music beloved by his fellow inmates. in the late 60s he returned to brazil where he wrote, arranged and produced a northern soul album fronted by his friend eduardo araujo(a onda e boogaloo) before being 'discovered' by nelson motta who got elis regina to cover 'these are the songs'. this led to tim getting his own deal with philips and the beginning of the nascent zona norte black rio/samba soul movement (already well underway underground) going ipanema mainstream. throughout his career he was troubled with substances but his brief two year stint with the energia racional produced two drug-free gems of incredible funk that tim later would dismiss despite their legendary status amongst collectors and brazilian underground funk djs. tim ended his career suddenly on stage on night doing what he loved best - performing some of the most soulful music brazil ever produced! 1. gostava tanto de voce 2. i don't know know what to do with myself 3. risos 4. marcio leonardo e telmo 5. ela partiu 6. over again 7. terapeutico do grito 8. venha dormir em casa 9. rational culture 10. que legal 11. o descobridor dos sete mares
