Modern Brazil - s/d

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

Thanks for posting

Luisa Maita is gonna tour the US again. No new album out as far as I can tell (although 1 new song)

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...

I like this. Reminds me a little of Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band. These new comps look good too -

Lindsay has found many like-minded musicians in Brazil with which to further his style. When I ask him who he plays with and listens to there, he reels off a long list of bands and artists who inspire him. His current recommendations include Metá Metá, Siba, and the young improv group Chinese Cookie Poets. He also mentions a fascination with a Brazilian dance music called Funk Carioca, and its recent offshoot Rasteirinha.

Arto Lindsay

this is great

Retro but modern (I guess. I haven't heardthis yet. Read NY Times review, excerpt below)

There have been echoes of Tropicália in Brazilian pop ever since, and something new that bears its traces is “Tremor Essencial” (Sem Paredes), the third record by Celso Sim, a São Paulo singer-songwriter with a background in theater. (You can hear it at celsosim.com.br.) The record is fast-moving, highly literate, magpie-ish about style and mood, tender and circusy and processional, full of intimacy and electric guitars. It also feels as if it wants to tell a story:

Finally listening to Celso Sim now (on Spotify). Some of it reminds me of Caetano Veloso. I like the quieter numbers better than the circus-like melodramatic ones.

There's quite a bit of guitar on it. On some songs he repeats the noisy gestures or the circus-like songs so much it can get a tad annoying in an almost prog-rock like way, other times it fits better.

Female Brazilian singer with Latin percussionist...

She has that classic bossa nova/samba voice...

Jucara Marcal--post-punk sorta

publicist is pitching me on Ana Carolina, Brazilian singer who I have never heard, who is scheduled to play a 1200 seat hall in DC. Read that she collaborated with Seu Jorge once.

I still haven't checked her music out on Youtube or wherever yet

Her bio plays up her classic Brazilian critic type influences, but this album on Spotify has more arena pop melodrama than I generally like.

Tried another album of hers, and it adds some programmed beats, but its still too polished and overdone in a not so enjoyable way. Yep, I know she has a big following in Brazil

She's doing a NYC gig and others too. But I'm not won over based on my brief listening to 2 albums

Gonna go visit Brazil on a holiday/vacation trip/adventure

Anyone else here been there, or live there now?

I don't, but i understand this song is extremely popular there right now

That latest Jucara Marcal referenced above is weird. I prefer older samba singer but still at it--Elza Soares

More Ava Rocha (2014 is upthread) here's 2015 from her; I think prior ones were credited to she and a band but this one might be considered a solo effort, although there's a band. In the past Arto Lindsay guested on one song, and she/they covered Tim Maia
