that's awesome. has a classic ECM vibe

Yeah, thank you, this is great! Track with Arnaldo Antunes reminded me to seek out some of his earlier stuff too. Any other suggestions?

Cool...title means "A labyrinth in each foot"

Froes' ou Antunes's?

*or... of course

Didn't switch properly to English yet

Do you have suggestions for earlier material from either?

Sorry, meant Antunes. But yes ^^^ would love both.

Jaxon, dumb question from me--what classic ECM stuff has a samba flavor like this?

hmm. it wasn't nec the samba flavor that struck me as ecm. it was a bit of the production and iciness. some of the sax in the background plays melodies i associate w/the label.

as far as brazilian stuff, i don't know TONS of his material, but check out Nana Vasconcelos. i know he has some records on the label. the stuff of his i do know is CoDoNa with don cherry and Collin Walcott. pretty amazing and kinda just mashes all sorts of different cultures music together.

something like this i guess

Romulo Fróes' previous album 'No Chão Sem o Chão' is great. Way more interesting than 'Um Labirinto em Cada Pé'. And it was also available for free download (it's kind of sad; he knows hardly anyone would buy his record. but I bought this one).

Arnaldo Antunes is much more popular than Fróes. He was part of a very succesful rock band in the 80s (Titãs) and he approached a more Brazilian sound when he went solo. Excerpts of all of his solo work are available in his official site: http://www.arnaldoantunes.com.br/sec_discografia_list.php

I love this song (although I prefer the studio version).

Wow, will have to check out Froes prior one .

Enjoying 'No Chão Sem o Chão' thus far but not sure what I think of the guitar theatrics quite yet... never less than interesting at the least, though, many thanks

Its the Brazil summerfest week in NYC with eclectic rapper Marcelo D2, the Brazilian rock singer Pitty, DJ Nuts and Percussivo Mundo. I do not know these folks I must confess

My favorite is Nação Zumbi, who as far as I know hasn't released anything since I wrote about 'em in 2008.

You should try 'Fome de Tudo'. It's absolutely brilliant.

Hmm, is Romulo Froes' cd one of the best of 2011...Need to listen to it more

From an interivew with him (google translated from Portuguese)

The generation that grew up and graduated in the last decade have you, Rodrigo Campos, Tata Airplane, Nina Becker, Domenico, Tulip. But it also has Rita Maria, Maria Gadu, Vanessa da Mata and others who direct dialogue with the industry, with "success." To some extent, does not condone the latter, so to speak, "aesthetic" ("philosophy" might fit, too) generation?
Of course, even in the industry, artists are linked to their time with issues similar to ours. But they still have to deal with the machine's success and the problems arising from such relationship, very different from an independent artist - you see, said different, neither better nor worse. What I am sure that there is more room for invention in the industry for the construction of a work that you think the history of Brazilian music and its evolution. I think the last move in this direction, an industry support of a renewal of the work of Brazilian music, was the manguebeat. Since there will be more than 15 years.

x-post- very interesting, I like it(though not completely crazy about the guitar sound)

Now I still have to listen to that older Romulo Froes album

Many artists from São Paulo seem to be inspired by afrobeat sounds these days. And this is one of the finest

interview

Luisa Maita and her great band live nicely blended old-school and new school sounds. Looking forward to her next album

Her band had a funky drummer with a kit and a laptop, plus guitarist & bassist who have heard postpunk and funk...
