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 !

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' 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' link below 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....

For the complete playlist click 'READ MORE' below A show with loads of new material: a great new track about Iemanjá by Beatbass High Tech (I discovered right now that I've been writing their name wrong for ages), two tracks from Samba da Luzia Gorda, the new album by Totonho e os Cabras and two more by the newcomers Tupi Machine, band from Piauí. We had many more debuts in the show, like Severo, also from Piauí, the sexy pop by Rosa Neon from Minas Gerais and Rainhas do Norte, a drumming combo from Berlin with a message to deliver. Yes, we discussed... |
