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... 
The word that serves as theme to this episode, 'juiz' - which can be translated both as a 'judge' in the legal system and as the 'referee' in field sports - was chosen because at the time of the live broadcast Sérgio Moro, the judge who manipulated the 2018 presidential elections in Brazil by having the most popular contender arrested, was the subject of a series of journalistic pieces by Glenn Greenwald's The Intercept revealing...

For the complete playlist click 'READ MORE' below With a career spanning from 1974 to 2002, the exiled drag duo Les Etoiles is virtually unknown in Brazil. It was created by Luiz Antônio Moraes da Silva and Rolando Faria, both of whom had a singing a carrier in Brazil; Luiz Antonio featuring in albums by Rilldo Hora and Dom Salvador and Rolando as part of Ronald Mesquita’s Central do Brasil. Rolando was recording an album with Central do Brasil in Barcelona when he decided not to go back to Brazil. Soon after he met Luiz Antonio and they formed Les Etoiles...

For the complete playlist click 'READ MORE' below In every city we visit we like to chat and have some drinks with friends we’ve met via the Caipirinha Appreciation Society, especially listeners. In one of our first trips to Sao Paulo we went out with Daniel Luppi, a young lawyer who knows a lot about the paulista samba scene. He took us to the launching gig a series of CDs called Memória do Samba Paulista by the label Tratore. There we met the proof that the saying ’São Paulo is the graveyard of samba’ is just a piece of stupid nonsense created by an incompetent press back in the 70s. We saw on stage artists like...

For the complete playlist click 'READ MORE' below This show was broadcast on 30 April 2019, so it is one of those we are only now uploading to the podcast. It is based on north and northeastern music, so most of the themes have that organic feeling. Anastácia singing her composition ‘Eu Só Quero Um Xodo’ (a hit in the voice of Gilberto Gil), Alcione and Roberto Mendes singing ‘Deu Saudade’ and the version of Cantiga do Sapo sung by Zé Ramalho are some of the gems you can find here. And the premiere of the show is...

For the complete playlist click 'READ MORE' below Another giant of Brazilian music leaves this world. This time it’s Beth Carvalho, aka the ‘Godmother of Samba’. A singer known for her silky voice and great repertoire. Born to a Rio de Janeiro middle class family, she flirted with bossa nova, MPB and even forró. Her singing career was launched in the mid 1960s when she had her first hit, ‘Andanças'. But all that was before she became a full-time sambista and dived into the world of the suburbs, Lapa, favelas and the music from avery different reality from the one she was born into...

For the complete playlist, click 'Read More' link below This show was broadcast at the end of April when we heard for the first time ‘Abaixo de Zero: Hello Hell’, the third album by Black Alien. A legend of the 1990s hip hop from Rio - or more precisely, from neighbouring Niterói - his first album ‘Babylon By Gus - Volume I - O Ano do Macaco’ was released only in 2004, when he had already more than a decade of rap behind him, having started in 1991 as part of the combo Speed Freaks (with Speed Gonzales, that later adopted the name Speed Freaks and DJ Rodriguez)... |
