Click for CAS 476 A few days after New Year's Eve, Kika and I went to Recife to meet friends and relax a bit after 3 frantic weeks in Rio (more about that in a future post). Sadly, one week was far from enough to see everybody we wanted to, so it turns out we didn’t relax that much. But we did manage to see a lot of people, be it visiting Radio Frei Caneca, watching a ‘pelada’ (informal football tournament), or around a beer and a ‘escondidinho’. And we got to visit the new location of Passa Disco record shop and to hang out with Fábio, its super dedicated, super knowledgeable and super conversational owner. Imagine a record store that's entirely dedicated to Brazilian music: rare albums, recent releases by independent bands, with a special focus on Pernambuco talent. An obligatory stop in Recife and an absolute Caipirinha Appreciation Society favorite. This podcast explores both retail and label sides of the great Passadisco. // Originally broadcast on 5/February/2019 on Contrabanda 91.4 FM. Our vids of the week are: Igor de Carvalho - Laço A clip from the series ‘Quintal’ by Igor. Laço, directed and edited by Thito Borba, is a song from his first album called Cabeça Coração and featured on the compilation ‘Arrisque!’ Zé Ramalho - Avôhai This song, from the first solo album of Zé Ramalho (1978) is probably his most iconic song. It’s very difficult to find video material of Zé Ramalho from the 70s/80sso so here is a live performance in 2015. The version we have in this episode is from a demo from 1977, before the release of his first album Carlos Ferrera - O que me faz bem We met Carlos Ferreira by chance having some beers with Juliano Muta at Mercado Boa Vista. Carlos was showing the first single of his album DOQCC (Daquilo Que O Coração Come) to friends with his smartphone. Luckily he had a copy of his CD to give us! Flaira Ferro - Revólver Flaira is yet another artist featured on Passadisco’s compilation Arrisque! Dancer, composer, singer and also a music researcher, Flaira released he first album Cordões Umbilicais in 2015. Revolver is directed by Cezar Maia BUT FIRST THE PLAYLIST:

Click for CAS 478 It's that time of the year when we regret not being in Brazil. The summer is long, the days are hot and the carnival frenzy is already in the air. Well, all we can do from Barcelona is provide you with some of that feeling... This episode of the Caipirinha Appreciation Society podcast kicks off carnival proceedings celebrating the variety of styles heard in the streets of Brazil this time of the year. We bring you some tracks of the new album by Deo Lopes, a 'sambeiro' that we've met many carnivals ago at Monteiro Lobato and since then is in our playlists. We also play songs from the new album of BaianaSysytem 'O Futuro Não Demora. Originally broadcast on 19/February/2019 on Contrabanda 91.4 FM. Our vids of the week are: Lucas Santtana "Lycra-limão" A must in my long bicycle rides into the night in Rio, Lycra Limão is from Lucas Santtana's album Parada de Lucas from 2003. Originais do samba - Tragédia No Fundo Do Mar (O Assassinato Do Camarão) Never mind the old recording, this is a video with the first formation of Originais do Samba singing on TV one of their greatest hits from 1974, still with iconic comedian Mussum in the ranks. Pouca Chinfra - Finarmente Here is a cool and relaxed rendition of 'Finarmente', one of our favorite songs by this band from Recife, with the special appearance of Lucas dos Prazeres at Clube do Samba de Recife. Deo Lopes - Odete A sweet home recording of a rehearsal of Deo Lopes' band preparing for the release of his new album 'Sambeiro' in 2019. BUT FIRST THE PLAYLIST:
