Modern Brazil - s/d

Roge's music definitely harks back to some sort of golden period of MPB/samba, but to me it goes back further than Clube da Esquina. I feel it sounds more like late 60s albums'Travessia' or 'Milton Nascimento'. I hear bits of 60s Caetano and Chico Buarque in there too.

Roge album is produced by Thomas Brenneck , best known for playing guitar with retro soul Sharon Jones and producing for Daptone. Plus Arthur Verocai did string arrangements and he’s best known for his 1970s work.

I'm a dummy when it comes to hearing about recent MPB so I'm just the target for the Roge album crossover, I guess.

xp i will admit that that's compelling evidence for calling this a "retro" project, and i certainly don't mind anyone thinking of it that way

but for whatever reason i think of this basically as excellent MPB (so my 'otm' above was really more about the first part of fpsa's post)

Seeing good reviews for film documentary "They Shot the Piano Player" about the life of and disappearance of Brazilian samba/ bossa nova/ jazz pianist Francisco Tenorio Jr on tour in Argentina in 1976 at age 34. Some big name Brazilian musicians are heard in this doc talking about him

very chill, not too brazilian vibe tbh, might also work in Ambient/post/nu/new-age jazz - S/D

Yeah, he's amazing, got to see him live last year, played solo with some pedals and loopers and such... really beautiful music...
