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....

Led by Xuxa Levy and devised to be a ‘big band’- Orquestra Jabaquara is formed by 22 musicians and 3 crooners that take turns on the main vocals - it's name is inspired by the legendary Orquestra Tabajaras, now based Rio de Janeiro. With a difference: while Orquestra Tabajara have a more conservative approach to their repertoire - mind you, O.T. was formed in 1936 at Paraíba - Orquestra Jabaquara mixes the big band sound with modern Brazilian music. The content of the lyrics is original and fun and sometimes they sound more like a pop band than a big band.

Abacaxepa, our second premiere, is a band formed by colleagues who met at the music classes of a theatre school and formed the band back in 2016. The curious name of the band is a mix of references that that in the end means ‘the last pineapple of the fruit market’. Too complicated to explain, but super Tropicalist as their music intends to sound.   

Fafá de Belém is not a newcomer at the Caipirinha Appreciation Society, but as she has a solid and long career we don’t play much of her stuff. She was huge late 70s - early 80s and had her ups and downs until last year when she made an album about music from her state, Pará. Now she just released her 26th album with a totally different material, a bit more edgy with songs composed by Ava Rocha, Adriana Calcanhoto, Lulu Santos, Jards Macalé, Zé Manoel and the girl we will mention below in the video section.


Our vids of the week are:

Orquestra Jabaquara - Roll On Detox 
 This upbeat video shot in the streets of São Paulo was directed by Raul Machado and Emiliano Kore  and features the dancers Tayna Ibanez and Henrique Lima. It always makes me wonder why the dancers do not finish the clip naked, as the music suggests. That would be the logical end to the piece and I bet it would be the choice of the artists. But Kika, very wisely, pointed out that in dark times for Brazilian culture, to shoot a scene with naked people on the streets of São Paulo might be too risky.

Fafá de belém - Alinhamento Magnético
Double dose of Fafá's courage to embrace the new. She bets on a powerful tune by Letrux whose music video, directed by Murilo Alvesso, opts for the vertical orientation of the image, aiming users of Instagram and other smartphone platforms.  The song is about how to face the gloom of modern times in a world that is clearly changing for the worse. 

Abacaxepa – Piracema
Abacaxepa's super organic video was created by Aline Belfort. Nature, forest, water and probably, mosquitoes. Funnily enough, it is as 'paulista' as Orquestra Jabaquara's clip mentioned above. It was shot in Salezópolis, a natural reserve with springs and original vegetation that today is part of the so-called 'Great São Paulo'. 

Luiz Macedo - Dr. Peçanha in London ft. Skowa
This animation produced by Gui Fonseca is great fun, telling the tales of Dr. Peçanha, a spy from Brazil who travels to London to solve a crime. Skowa, a legend from the São Paulo underground, lends his voice to this track of Luiz Macedo's album 'Orquestra Eletromagnética'

Orquestra Tabajara - Roll On Detox 
Baby cola nesse mambo
Clave Conga Bunda
Bong Bomba Chachachá
Zaga chata vida rasa
Selfie Boomerangue
Tome taca fumo lá
É nóis e você, vai ligar
Vambora viver, se jogar
Por isso dança, como seu planeta
Pura pirueta, nada fica no lugar

Sente quanta coisa boa
Gente rindo à toa
Vida feita pra gozar
"É nóis e você, vai ligar
Vambora viver, se jogar"
Você nasceu pelado, simples e complicado
Não seja intoxicado
Aqui
Solta o pino nesse mambo
Girando e rabiscando sua história no salão
Aqui
Cê já é do nosso bando
A gente é fino, nego
A gente é lindo ,nêgo
A gente é livre , nêgo
Pra fazer valer, Roll on Detox


Fafá de belém - Alinhamento Magnético
Se você achou que ano passado foi intenso
Cê não sabia de nada, inocente
Cê não sabia de nada
Se você jurou que seu projeto ia vingar
Cê não sabia de nada, inocente
Cê não sabia de nada
Que fase louca
Que fase doida
Que ano é esse?
O que é que vem depois?
Eu tô exausta, eu tô perdida
Já me disseram que só começou
Que fase louca
Que fase doida
Que ano é esse?
O que é que vem depois?
Eu tô exausta, eu tô perdida
Já me disseram que só começou
Respira, aprende a respirar
Se tu só pira, mas não respira
Não vai dar
Respira, aprende a respirar
Se tu só pira, mas não respira
Não vai dar
Se você achou que ano passado foi intenso
Cê não sabia de nada, inocente
Cê não sabia de nada
Se você jurou que seu projeto ia vingar
Cê não sabia de nada, inocente
Cê não sabia de nada
Que fase…


Abacaxepa – Piracema
Tu me contasse aquele dia que era coragem
que faltava para a gente navegar
Naquele mar daquela vila tão pequena
que água era sal e que fazia ela boiar
Boiar no mar, flutuando em teus cabelos
no espaço dos teus dedos que eu queria me encaixar

Sem coragem ela me lascou um beijo e a água ficou doce,
do beijo que ela me trouxe
No rio eu fui parar

E quem disse que peixe de água salgada não podia ir do nada no rio pra desaguar

E eu que era peixe de água salgada,
aprendi desesperada como faz pra navegar
e eu que era peixe de água salgada aprendi desesperada como faz
pra navegar
e eu que era peixe de água salgada aprendi desesperada como faz
pra navegar.
