For the complete playlist click 'Read More' link below In every city we visit we like to chat and have some drinks with friends we’ve met via the Caipirinha Appreciation Society, especially listeners. In one of our first trips to Sao Paulo we went out with Daniel Luppi, a young lawyer who knows a lot about the paulista samba scene. He took us to the launching gig a series of CDs called Memória do Samba Paulista by the label Tratore. There we met the proof that the saying ’São Paulo is the graveyard of samba’ is just a piece of stupid nonsense created by an incompetent press back in the 70s. We saw on stage artists like...

For the complete playlist click 'Read More' link below This show was broadcast on 30 April 2019, so it is one of those we are only now uploading to the podcast. It is based on north and northeastern music, so most of the themes have that organic feeling. Anastácia singing her composition ‘Eu Só Quero Um Xodo’ (a hit in the voice of Gilberto Gil), Alcione and Roberto Mendes singing ‘Deu Saudade’ and the version of Cantiga do Sapo sung by Zé Ramalho are some of the gems you can find here. And the premiere of the show is...

For the complete playlist, click 'Read More' link below This show was broadcast at the end of April when we heard for the first time ‘Abaixo de Zero: Hello Hell’, the third album by Black Alien. A legend of the 1990s hip hop from Rio - or more precisely, from neighbouring Niterói - his first album ‘Babylon By Gus - Volume I - O Ano do Macaco’ was released only in 2004, when he had already more than a decade of rap behind him, having started in 1991 as part of the combo Speed Freaks (with Speed Gonzales, that later adopted the name Speed Freaks and DJ Rodriguez)...

For the complete playlist, click 'Read More' link below We start the show with 30 minutes of music by bands that were part of the Manguebit (‘Manguebeat' for some) movement, to introduce one of the new albums highlighted in our show: Dj Dolores and Recife 19. Dolores is a long-time friend of the CAS and we were helping him promote his mini European tour. Due to bureaucratic details he missed his dates in the UK and we quickly improvised two emergency performances to fill the gap on his tour. One at Diobar with the girls from Madame Baião and another one at La Rouge (Raval) to record a live material for the Caipirinha Appreciation Society. You’ll hear this audio in a future CAS show. The other band highlighted is...  The Caipirinha Appreciation Society podcast invita a que participes en la emisión en directo de nuestro programa de música brasileña.

For the complete playlist, click 'Read More' link below We took this picture of the hypnotic magician a few years ago in a very suspect alley in Istanbul. To be honest, it has no relation to the show, but we find it amusing. This episode opens with some songs that have been Caipirinha Appreciation Society hits for ages, by bands like Maquinado, Fausto Fawcett and Laufer, Cidadão Instigado and Wado. Yes, I went and rescued them from old shows. Mind you, we play so much new material that we often realize that we spent ages without playing some tunes that we love. Then we have Orquestra Jabaquara, the first premiere of the show....

For the complete playlist, click 'Read More' link below A show with loads of new material: a great new track about Iemanjá by Beatbass High Tech (I discovered right now that I've been writing their name wrong for ages), two tracks from Samba da Luzia Gorda, the new album by Totonho e os Cabras and two more by the newcomers Tupi Machine, band from Piauí. We had many more debuts in the show, like Severo, also from Piauí, the sexy pop by Rosa Neon from Minas Gerais and Rainhas do Norte, a drumming combo from Berlin with a message to deliver. Yes, we discussed...

We’ve been away for few days and we couldn’t find a way to make a decent post about this episode aired back in April. But as we say in Brazil, ‘a fila anda’ (translating literally, ‘the cue moves on’) and we also have the post for the next episode on the pipeline... In this episode we played some tracks from the debut album by Muntchako, an ‘electro-instrumental’ band from Brasília and some edits and remixes that we frequently play in our parties. Here is a definition of Muntchako’s sound, by themselves: For the complete playlist, click on 'Read More'

With a couple of obligatory memorial shows jumping the cue and a backlog of show to be uploaded, this one recorded few days after carnival is in that grey zone where you want to stop talking about it but its facts and consequences of the bacchanalia are still fresh and we simply can't resist...

Another giant of Brazilian music leaves this world. This time it’s Beth Carvalho, aka the ‘Godmother of Samba’. A singer known for her silky voice and great repertoire. Born to a Rio de Janeiro middle class family, she flirted with bossa nova, MPB and even forró. Her singing career was launched in the mid 1960s when she had her first hit, ‘Andanças. But all that was before she became a full-time sambista and dived into the world of the suburbs, Lapa, favelas and the music from avery different reality from the one she was born into... |
