For the complete playlist, click READ MORE below 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.
We start this show with a lot of sambas, politically engaged or not. As it was the first show we were making in the studio in a long while, many of the songs reflect the general mood of our times. Including some collaborative pieces such as the celebrations for Gilberto Gil's birthday. Following that we go from many types of samba to rap inspired in the Afro religions, filling our morning (or whatever time you choose to listen) with Brazilian music - beyond the clichés.
Our vids of the week are: Roberto Souza - Parou Expressing the awe of seeing the world coming to a stand still due to the pandemic, Roberto Souza delivered this piece right in the hardest times for the Brazilian people facing the disease with an incompetent government. Gabi Buarque - Mar de gente vozes e participações especiais (por ordem de aparição): Gabi Buarque, Nina Wirtti, Áurea Martins, Mariana Baltar, Silvia Duffrayer e Thaís Macedo MC Tha - Rito de Passar MC The was a funk-carioca singer that is morphing into an activist rapper, conscious of her gender and black heritage. Great track with the signature of producer DJ Tide. Francisco El Hombre - Tá com dólar, tá com deus A well-produced video by Los Pibes to the song by Francisco El Hombre dealing with the frustration of the Brazilian citizen being more and more devalued as a worker and as an individual. All that right below the complete playlist for CAS 507 !

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...

For the complete playlist, click READ MORE below 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.

For the complete playlist, click READ MORE 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.

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.

For the complete playlist click 'READ MORE' below 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...

For the complete playlist click 'Read More' link below So here's the truth: the episode itself has nothing to do with sins or sinners. But we had this photo we wanted to use, and decided to make it a cover and give a chance for YOU to reflect about your sins. Can you list the 7 deadly sins by heart, without checking the internet?? Are you up to date with the latest sin list? It certainly has grown larger since fundamentalists starting meddling with politics in supposedly lay countries. In Brazil...

For the complete playlist, click 'READ MORE' 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... |
