    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.
