Well, Nelson Sargento was not a young sambista, he was 94 years old, but it is still hard to accept that so many wonderful talents are still being lost to Covid19. The world of samba has been deprived of many of its artists because of this terrible tragedy that still has Brazil in its grip.

Nelson had a long and productive career but his talent was rewarded with a solo album very late in his life. Its a recurrent story with many bambas, not counting the ones that are simply ignored by the industry... 


We noticed now that in this long and productive career Nelson had moments where he takes part in groups or scenes that we've described in previous episodes of the Caipirinha Appreciation Society. So in this blog post we are proposing an immersion in the history of  Rio's samba world...

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...

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.
