Various - "Brazil Rhodes 3" (comp #13)



 "Bem Vinda" (excerpt)

  "Transamazonica" (excerpt)

  "Brazilian Skies" (excerpt)

  "Viramundo" (excerpt)

  "A Chamada" (excerpt)

"Previsao do Tempo" (excerpt)

Commiserations to our brazilian friends for the football - some consolation here in the form of twenty-three storming rhodes tracks from, or inspired by their great land.

A brief intro from the master, Hermeto Pascoal, leads us into some jazz-fused bangers from Som Imaginario, Antonio Adolfo, Marcos Resende and others.


O Quarteto's clustered vocal tones take us through some live Sergio Mendes and Brasil '77 into the middle section, fusing pop, funk and soul with Marcos Valle, Hyldon, Banda Black Rio and more.

The fusions of Azymuth and Headhunter Bill Summers (check that keyboard solo) leads us back to the atmospherics of Robertinho Silva and the deeper jazz of an uncharacteristically instrumental Ed Motta, before we finish with the beautiful melancholy of instrumental Marcos Valle and the amazing voice of Alaide Costa accompanied by Oscar Castro-Neves.


Enjoy the comp, check the previews above - all tracks @ 320kbps bar one or two - and leave a comment so that I know you're with me on this blogging trip ...

Big everlasting thanks to many blogs and bloggers for feeding my love of various brazilian musics over the last few years - including Quimsy, Ish, Bacoso, Reza, BC, Porco Rosso, Flabbergast, J Thyme, Bruxa, all the Gears crew, and many more, sorry if I've forgotten you ....

    Man, it is really cosmically unfair that I can't get most of your shares (or anyone else's) from my current home due to my crappy ISP's issues with doling out IP addresses. I will try to grab this from a wireless hook-up next time I am in the city, it looks delicious.
    Meanwhile thanks for the shout-out. ;)

    Hi Simon, too long before I stopped by. The Brazil Rhodes Comp 3 is FANTASTICALLY FINE! the Hermeto Pascoal opener is especially tasty -going to check out your other Brazilian comps now, and I hope find a lot more Hermeto- IF none on your site, do you know where I could pick up a listen of more of his work
    The Rhodes ( which I love playing as an amateur seems particularly RIGHT in Brazil mode!
    Peace and many many thanks to you

    Censusloss, glad you're liking the Hermeto. Everything he does is interesting in some way, but I'd strongly recommend these three albums :

    Hey, just wanted to say how much I appreciate your blog. This is truly wonderful stuff. But I have a burning request. You seem to know a lot about Brazilian music. I have this song off a radio show, truly an amazing singer with a poignant timbre to her voice and the backing rhodes, well it's what keeps me playing. But I don't know the name of the song and I can't for the life of me pinpoint who the singer is. If I were to manage to get this song to you somehow, do you think you can help me out, or maybe some of your readers? If you read this, you can contact me at malzabon@hotmail.com, and my name is Christo. Regards.

  36. Simon666September 10, 2010 at 1:58 AM
