Signature was a show made after our homage to Moraes Moreira and we start it with some songs from the year 1972 that we couldn't fit in CAS 508 due the usual problem: time. But the songs were very good and deserved to be featured ASAP!

The first half hour is completed by a little section about a conductor and producer essential to the Tropicalis movement: a guy called Rogério Duprat.  Now kind of an unsung hero, most of the peculiarities and orchestral arrangements in classics by Tropicália that you love came from his pen...


...Also special in this show is a whole chunk showing songs by the kids from Volta Redonda, all released in recent weeks, such as Pai Guga, A.X.L., Leandro Vilela and Hugo.... 

To top it up we have a whole section of rock, then a section of hip-hop, soul and R'n'B and there you have it: once again, a magic couple of hours to make your day happier, brought to you by the Caipirinha Appreciation Society.  

Our vids of the week are:
​

O CORPO SABE in Pai Guga demo 2020
With all the Covid19 drama, musicians and artists are having a hard time, and in times like these the best thing to do is to relax and create. Pai Guga (from Amplexos) had plans to release a solo album, but with pandemic restrictions his plans were delayed. To stick to creating, he made this sweet video promo. Some songs are still nameless, some you heard before in the CAS shows and the last one (O Corpo Sabe with A.X.L.) is in this episode of the CAS.

Sá, Rodrix & Guarabira - Hoje Ainda é Dia de Rock
Highly praised in the rock scene of the 70s and composers of historic jingles for commercials,  Sá, Rodrix and Guarabira reformed the trio at the beginning of the 21st century to show young generations what they were all about. They kept playing until the death of singer Zé Rodrix. Here they present one of their classics, Hoje Ainda É dia de Rock, from 1972  

Karina Buhr and Teresa Cristina - Plástico Bolha 
If you are anxious, stressed and restless you probably know the therapeutic value of a square meter of bubble wrap! Popping its cells one by one, listening to the 'pops' as you slowly calm down... This song, here performed by Karina with the valuable help of Teresa Cristina, proves that riot girls and samba girls are united in the urge to burst and pop their problems away with no guilt.

Dani Black - Linha Tênue
​One of the few live recording of this song by singer, guitar player and composer Dani Black,  where he has a band by his side to show the pop credentials of this song.  

GREGGÓRIO - Ginga e Melanina  
Rapper Greggório, here singing this track produced by Beatbass High Tech featuring  Thiago Elniño, Natache e DJ Josafá. In this music video we can see some faces of the Volta Redonda cultural movement and artists we play in both Caipirinha shows.
Can you spot them? 


Baianos de Outrora - Norton Morozowicz e Orquestra Sinfônica da UEL
In spite of Rogerio Duprat's importance in Brazilian music during the 60s-70s, it is very difficult to find a recording of a live performance with him conducting one of his projects. He had many albums released but, apart from his partnership with the revolutionary mind of his times, his own work was not very easy to put on commercial TV shows. 
So I found this little homage that Norton Morozowicz made to the maestro, playing a pot pourri of the most popular songs that Duprat arranged for the 'Baianos', namely Caetano Veloso ("Baby", "Alegria, Alegria" e "Tropicália"); e Gilberto Gil ("Domingo no Parque")


All that right below the complete playlist for CAS 509 !

CAS | 508 Moraes

This was one of the most difficult and dramatic episodes in the history of the show. Difficult because it all happened during the worst part of the Covid19 pandemic, when we were suffering from a serious case of ‘podcaster's block’. Dramatic because we felt guiltier and guiltier every time we postponed its making. In short, our much warranted and repeatedly announced homage to Moraes Moreira took ages to be formatted and executed.
 
Our way out of the gridlock was to produce the show in a different way: as our ‘quarentined’ birthdays were coming up, we made a Facebook live-video broadcast and later edited it down into an audio podcast. The show describes and celebrates the long and prolific career of the recently (well, kind of) deceased legend of Brazilian music.
 
Between the early seventies and...

Mornings.  You know, your 11:30am is our 7:30am. We always thought about using the Caipirinha Appreciation Society repeat time slot at Radio Contrabanda to communicate directly with a different crowd and make the show, literally, under a different light.

Kika couldn't make it so it was a guys-only affair, as I was missing making a live show in the studio far too much.

Broken promises: the story of our lives. Mind you, it’s not that we are bad people, it’s because we want the Caipirinha Appreciation Society to deliver the best  cliché-free Brazilian music there is. So we promised a show about Moraes Moreira, but when we took a dive into his work we realized it was so intense and revolutionary that we needed more time to digest it. Furthermore, we had only just made a show about Omolu (i.e. diseases and death) and following it with an obituary was a bit too much, emotionally speaking, specially in times of quarantine. In short: we had what Kika has coined ‘podcaster’s block’. And our solution was...

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.

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.

In this episode: 
-you'll learn why we are not engineers .
-If you pay attention to the lyrics you'll have the chance to get yourself a precious T-shirt in a pop quiz.


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.

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!

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...
