Luiz Bonfá

domnux — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 14:36:48 +0000

Luiz Bonfá (1922-2001) was a Brazilian guitarist and composer most widely known for the compositions he penned for the film Black Orpheus.

Bonfá often played solo guitar in a polyphonic style, harmonizing melody lines in a manner similar to that made famous by Wes Montgomery in the USA, or playing lead and rhythm parts simultaneously. As a composer and as a guitarist, Bonfá played a pivotal role in bridging the incumbent samba-canção style with the innovations of the bossa nova movement.

CéU

minha galera — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 08:45:50 +0000

Today I am in the mood for a sound that can soothe my aches, and bossa seems to do it. CéU reminds me of the days when Brazilian music was the equivelant for music to make love to your old lady by (not in the Lovage way). She has a warm, gentle voice that matches perfectly the trippy, chilli sounds. Enjoy

3 na massa

minha galera — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 08:04:28 +0000

Quando ouvi falar pela primeira vez deste projeto “3 NA MASSA” desconfiei, franzi o cenho e achei que seria mais uma destas historias que começam, começam e começam sem nunca chegar de fato a lugar algum. Estava redondamente enganado (para a minha própria felicidade e de todos que por ventura venham a conhecer este ousado álbum).

It doesn’t matter that I didn’t understand a thing. You must admit that Portuguese is the most beautiful language in the world, and even drug prescriptions can sound sexy and divine in this language. Imagine music in Portuguese. Better yet, 3 na massa:

DJ Marky

For those who never had the ocasion to listen DJ Marky.

LK (with Stamina MC)

Open Your Eyes [of Snow Patrol] Remix (with Bungle)

Barcelona

DJ Marky is a brazilian drum and bass dj and producer. Together with DJ Patife, XRS Land and Drumagick brazilians are forging a new sound in drum and bass that has become popular around the world.

Back Like Dat [of Ghostface Killa] Remix (with Bungle)

No Time To Love (with Bungle)

Shame (with AI & Ben Westbeech)

According to Wikipedia:
“Regarded as a drum’n’bass innovator under the name Marky Mark and then just DJ Marky, he was brought to the attention of the global Drum and Bass scene by English DJ Bryan Gee, head of V Recordings, who saw Marky playing in a club in São Paulo in 1998. Amazed by Marky’s scratch skills, he invited the DJ to play in London. This experience would result in a residency at the club Movement, a subsequent residency at The End club, work for the UK’s BBC Radio 1, and global popularity.
Marky got started in drum’n’bass in 1992, choosing a more hardcore edge, but the small audiences nearly caused him to give up. At the time, he was told that that kind of music was for only a few. In 1997, he went to London and met DJ Hype and Goldie. The meeting with Bryan Gee was definitive for Marky’s conquering of England. In 1999, he was awarded “Best New DJ” by the British critics.”

Nicola Conte presents Rosalia de Souza. I bet most of you already know of the two artists, but I had to make sure the bossa nova lovers among you didn’t miss this collaboration.
