    Brazuca Sounds #72: Manguebeat Movement
    Nov 19 2024
    In this episode, we discussed manguebeat by celebrating 30 years from the release of Chico Science & Nação Zumbi and Mundo Livre S/A's debut albums in 1994. A movement from the city of Recife, in Brazil's Northeast, manguebeat claimed to blend maracatu, which is the folklore music and dance from the region with elements of rock, dub, hip-hop, and bossa. The movement was extracted from a collective manifesto, "Crabs With Brains", a socio-political text against cultural stagnation, positioning the people of Recife, as part of their environment, but also able to transcend it, and overcome their situation. Chico Science & Fred Zero 04 (from Mundo Livre S/A) were the pivotal figures from the movement, but we also covered the bands Mestre Ambrósio, Cascabulho, Cordel do Fogo Encatado, DD Dolores e Orquestra de Santa Mass and Otto.

    PREVIEW | BONUS EP. (Jorge Mautner - Maracatu Atômico)
    Nov 12 2024

    Salve! This is a bonus episode for paid subscribers!

    Every episode is a different song. This is the song today:

    "Maracatu Atômico" by Jorge Mautner (written by Mautner/Nelson Jacobina)


    Gilberto Gil released this song as a single (compact), then produced Jorge Mautner's sophomore album, released in 1974 via Polydor. Before making music, Mautner was a controversial writer, with his Trilogy of Kaos banned by the military regime. Born in Rio, and raised in Sao Paulo to immigrant parents from Yugoslavia who escaped the Holocaust, Mautner was partially raised by his nanny from whom he learned much about Brazilian Afro religions. "Maracatu Atômico" is a mix of samba, funk, MPB, maracatu (a regional folklore rhythm from Pernambuco), and even Easter European music, as Mautner was primarily a violin player. The song was revitalized in the 1990s by Chico Science and Nação Zumbi, a crucial point for the manguebeat movement.

  • PREVIEW | Brazuca Sounds #71: Gal Costa- Cantar

    PREVIEW | Brazuca Sounds #71: Gal Costa- Cantar
    Oct 29 2024
    This episode is exclusive for paid subscribers. We celebrate the 50-year release of "Cantar" by Gal Costa. Unlike her two previous works, the live album Fa-Tal, and the masterpiece album "India", this is a more soft, calm, reaffirming Gal Costa's and her early bossa nova style - before she turned into Tropicalia sex symbol. Produced by Caetano Veloso and several tracks arranged by João Donato, it was a massive commercial failure in the 1970s but regained a cult status over the years. It is the only Gal Costa album to make the "100 Greatest Brazilian Music Records" list chosen by Rolling Stone Brasil.
