It's a very enjoyable album.
We need to talk about Brazilian music more often in here. I love it.
There was a great Pitchfork piece recently on Caetano Veloso. What I've heard so far is well deserving of the praise.
For sure. What do you like? I've been on a samba/bossa nova binge since the Olympics (and more so this week after returning from a week there).
I loooooove Brazilian psychedelic rock/Tropicalia. Jorge Ben, Gal Costa (Baby is one of my all-time favorite songs), Os Mutantes, Novos Baianos, Marcos Valle...recently I've discovered the wonderful solo work of Lô Borges...it's such a great scene.
One of my favorite things to do on a warm, sunny day (I experience many of these in SoCal) is select an album I haven't already heard from this terrific chart:
Yeah, that psychedelic period was just incredible. Here's a story: my dad went to primary school with Rita Lee. He was recently showing me some class photos, and she already looked like psychedelic Rita Lee as a 12- or 13-year old girl.
All these guys you list were such an important part of my parents' generation that I ended up growing up listening to them all (but mostly their post-Tropicalia careers, when they went into the MPB style). Ha, I had no idea you liked Baby, the song.
The work that Rita Lee and so many other Brazilian musicians were doing to further and complicate US/British psychedelic rock should be celebrated. The first few Os Mutantes records, Milton Nascimento's Milagre dos peixes and Gal Costa's second 1969 self-titled are among the most mind-bending works of psychedelia that I've experienced. Those are deeply enveloping sonic works that actually evoke drug use.
About bossa nova: my experience is limited to Getz/Gilberto (one of my favorites), some Nara Leão and uh Nouvelle Vague's debut. They're OK. I've got a lot more listening to do in this genre.
Seeing Julien Baker tonight.
She announced a show here a month ago but somehow I missed it and now it's sold out. I'm fuming.
Ax how is the new Flyying Colours?
