For the complete playlist, click READ MORE below So half the world's deejays are busying themselves with spitting out playlists every few minutes. What could the CAS offer that was different and inspiring? The idea suddenly dawned on us. We had stumbled upon an orisha responsible for all illness: Obaluaiê. A bit of further reading and we realize that he masters epidemic deseases in particular! But not all is doom and gloom about the deity. As a friend puts it: by making one aware of their inescapable death, Obaluaiê makes you behave more responsibly in this life. The fact that he is not one of the "pop-star" orishas means that we only found top quality information about him, making for a top quality show: music- and content-wise. Though we never tire to state that we are not experts, our friends who are seem to have approved. So listen in for all the interesting narratives about this fascinating character in the African-Brazilian mythology. More interesting trivia and videos below.

For the complete playlist, click READ MORE below Man, the world is falling apart and the Caipirinha Appreciation Society podcast blog is late in updating its blog about the music and the times of Mr. Elton Medeiros. Though he passed away back in September 2019, we felt his legacy was not praised enough as the gentleman was not a famous face or voice for the non-initiated, though he was present in many important moments of modern samba and was writing partner to many inspired sambistas. So we decided to pay our homages and make our listeners aware of his life and work.

Well, one day we have to end the celebrations for our 500th episode landmark, right? I hope you listeners had as much fun listening as we did making this trilogy. We have to praise Kika Serra for having the idea and the patience to compile and classify the bands according to the number of times we've played them over the years. We don’t want to place undue importance on that list, really. Some artists have been with us since the early days of the show, and those naturally have an advantage over more recent discoveries. So we can't say we love this or that artist "more" based on their position on those charts. But they did provide us with great material for three classic shows, no doubt.

For the complete playlist, click READ MORE below This is an episode full of 'saudade', a nostalgic take on something that was not anymore when we recorded this show. Note that in Rio, up until the late 90s, the sacred and the profane mingled in the NYE party on Copacabana beach, with many 'terreiros' from Rio represented in a really beautiful party. That was when the people from Rio went to the seashore to offer gifts to Yemanjá, the goddess of the sea. All that said, although she is celebrated on New Year's Eve, February 2nd is the official day of Yemanja, the "water goddess" according to Afro-Brazilian tradition. This classic episode of the Caipirinha Appreciation Society podcast brings a collection of Brazilian songs composed about the queen of the sea - enjoy the music!

For the complete playlist click 'READ MORE' below The cover for the second show of our ‘500’ series is a product of Kika "The Ripper" Serra's new obsession: dismembering our cat in kaleidoscopic compositions while he is asleep. We do promise no animals were harmed in the making of those pics (did we mention it’s a series?) In the musical field we decided to stick a little longer to our own version of our "Top of the Pops": this episode's playlist is built around yet another...

Para acceder al evento en Facebook, haz click aquí Este año tuvimos contratiempos en nuestra tradicional fiesta de celebración del cumple de Caipirinha Libre (4 años ahora!) pues las fechas disponibles estaban o bien en el medio de un puente, o coincidían con la fiesta de Contrabanda FM / la final del Mundial de Clubs, o con las fiestas de Navidad. Lo que es una lástima, pues que en este fin de año nos pasan muchísimas cosas buenas que celebrar. Sabes que nuestro programa en inglês, la Caipirinha Appreciation Society cumple 500 ediciones, o sea: 1000 horas de música brasileña y buena charla! Por todo eso, no podríamos nos quedar sin el último brindis del año. Lo que vamos a hacer es juntar fuerzas con la banda Boto, que entrevistamos hace una semana. Los chicos tienen marcado un concierto en Absenta del Raval el 27 de diciembre. Será una fiesta con sabor tropical amazónico y mucha música del Norte de Brasil. Como MdC Suingue será el deejay antes y después de la actuación, invitamos los amigos a celebrar allí también el fin de año caipiríñico. Los chicos son estupendos, como puedes comprobar en esta edición del programa Caipirinha Libre donde entrevistamos dos de sus miembros, Juan Munhoz y Pedro Bastos João que nos tocaran en directo algunos de los temas de su concierto: Y abajo tenemos la edición de Caipirinha Appreciation Society en la cual abordamos el rico universo sonoro de esta parte de Brasil.
¡ESTRENO MUNDIAL!
El Boto, el delfin rosado. És un personage del folclore amazónico brasileño. En las noches de luna llena sale del agua, de los ríos, de los arroyos, muy bien vestido, para hechizar y seducir através de su música y baile. . Con sus ritmos calientes, colores vivos y su mágia amazónico el grupo Boto nos canta y encanta. El alegre carimbó y la sensual lambada son parte fundamental deste ritual tropical musical. Nos trae un gustito amazónico. El sabor açaí, la maniçoba y tacacá, del Lundú al Siriá, del Brega al Banguê, no faltará mucho ritmo y sabor en nuestro baile. Só som do purrudo! . ¡Para agarrarse hasta el tucupi! . Boto és: Ja Munhoz - voz y guitarra Pedro Bastos João - guitarra Cesar Nave Cesar - bajo Jerry Zeta - batería @Nestor Lopez - Saxo . Donde: Absenta del Raval dia 27 de diciembre a las 21h! Entrada: 5 €urekas!

For the complete playlist click 'Read More' link below This is one of the instances when our other podcast, Caipirinha Libre, ends up influencing its older sibling, the Caipirinha Appreciation Society show. We interviewed a prominent Brazilian civil-rights activist based in Barcelona about the activities to be held in "Black November", the local version of the "Mês da Consciência Negra" : a series of events meant to promote awareness about what it means to be black in modern-day Brazil. Since the date also commemorates the anniversary of the death of Zumbi, we put together a playlist focusing on the iconic leader of Palmares, a 17th-century runaway-slave community. That got us thinking and researching, and the resulting episodes of both podcasts are great listens. If you can understand the Spanish, you should give Caipirinha Libre a go (links below): about awareness......y consciencia |
