With a couple of obligatory memorial shows jumping the cue and a backlog of show to be uploaded, this one recorded few days after carnival is in that grey zone where you want to stop talking about it but its facts and consequences of the bacchanalia are still fresh and we simply can't resist... Find below the complete playlist for this episode. 
By MdC Suingue Click for CAS 470 This week like most weeks, the Caipirinha Appreciation Society podcast does not focus on a single style but contrasts several different periods, regions and moods in Brazilian music. But yes, there is a strong presence of songs about the social struggles, racism, sexism and gender rights // Originally broadcast on 06/Nov/2018 on Contrabanda 91.4 FM. Our vids of the week are: Karol Conka - Kaça A powerful video clip about gender rights evoking Afro-Brazilian religious entities - written, edited and directed by J.Brivilati - with dancer Natasha Vergílio and actor Emerson Natividade. João Amorim - Passa, Tchonga! A delicious invitation to dance and think about toxic relationships, by João Amorim. It has a curious story: Amorim was working as a producer in a political campaign that needed a jingle. They discovered Amorim's talents and before the team left Amapa they got together to make this vid and show his music to the world. Garotas Suecas - Não Tem Conversa Another strong manifesto about a hypocritical male-oriented society ridden with corruption and racism from Garotas Suecas' album 'Futuro do Pretérito' . Directed by Gabriel "KOI". BUT FIRST THE PLAYLIST: 
Karol Conka - Kaça
João Amorim - Passa, Tchonga!

Click for CAS 465 RECIPE In the dark days of the 1964 dictatorship in Brazil, the military governments had a civil servant placed in all major newsrooms exclusively to censor any information that was not in line with the ‘reality’ dictated by the government’s filter of what ordinary folk were allowed to know. Big chunks of the front and internal pages of the newspapers were censored, so some editors decided to give readers a clue that part of the news had been withdrawn: some left an empty space where the text should have been, some filled it with poetry and others with recipes. This episode of the CAS was broadcast in mid September, before the elections that brought back the spirit of authoritarian rule. Much of what we said in the show, though not officially censored (yet), suddenly might represent real and present danger to us. We don’t know exactly what will happen, but the fact is that new laws just passed already allow for spying on citizens on and offline and make it easy to criminalize political opposition. So until things are clearer and we can have a proper grip on just how far back into the past our new president wants to reach, we thought we should be cautious with what we post in the podcast version of the show. What better way than to apply the same method used by our veteran journalists back in the day. If you’re one for thrills, listen to the live - uncensored - broadcasts every Wednesday on bit.ly/Contrabanda at 6pm GMT+2 Our vids of the week are: 1- MPB4 singing a classic of their repertoire, Pesadelo. We couldn’t find an old live recording of this song, guess why? Because it was too subversive to be aired on TV at the time. 2- A song by Coletivo do Quadrado that was calling the coup a coup back in 2016. Over these two years the dismantling of democracy and civil rights engineered by a corrupt majority in our political and judicial system has come a long way. And the last elections proved that it is evolving towards a proper military coup - even if they refuse to name it so. 3- The video clip of the new single by Zé de Riba, the autobiographic ‘Cabra Trabalhador’ (Working Guy) featuring Carla Shinabe and directed by Douglas Cordeiro. 4- Pantera Negra by Emicida is inspired in the latest film about the Afro avenger Black Panther from the comics. “With the claw, reason and coldness, bro If things get heavy, the certainty is to come back as a Black Panther (I came back)” 5- The complete recipe for 'Coxinha' - at least that version of it... BUT FIRST THE PLAYLIST:

Click for CAS 468 Resistance Sometimes in life we find ourselves in a crossroads of history. Sometimes we don’t even notice there is a crossroads, sometimes it’s so clear and obvious that it scares us. We feel paralized. If we take the wrong turn there is no way back without a lot of struggle, suffering and even risk of death. We know what is the right path, we shout and scream to the crowd moving in the wrong direction, but they seem deaf and blind. The choice Brazil is facing in this 2018 Presidential Elections are cristal clear: Democracy or dictatorship. Civilization or barbarism. Human rights or death squads. Civilian government or Military coup. Freedom of speech or censorship. Religious freedom or fundamentalism. It is obvious that the CAS crew has chosen its side in that struggle, but in our 468th episode we open our mics for our listeners around the globe to have their say. People who have learned to love Brazil, its culture and its people through learning the rhythms, the poetry and the beauty we are able to produce as a society. They are more than entitled to have their say especially as some of them have only recently stood before similar crossroads. Let’s hope Brazil can hear their voice as a voice from the future. Lots os great music, some made specifically for this moment in history, somo reminding us of things we should not forget. If you love Brazil and its cultural diversity, help us spread the word. THE VIDEOS: 1- the amazing new samba that will represent Mangueira in 2019, guaranteed to lift up the voices at Sapucay next carnival, for its beauty and political meaning in this delicate time we are living in Brazil 2- Leci Brandão os not just a talented singer and composer. She is also Congress woman re-elected last week to continue her work representing the afro-brazilian population, the youth, the ‘quilombolas’, the indigenous people and LGBTs. In this show we play a classic of her repertoire, Zé Do Caroço, that talks about the rise of a popular leader in a favela. 3- Ju Dorotea is a newcomer at the CAS family that came from the prolific Volta redonda scene. She is rapper as every rapper should be: articulate, activist, a mover and shaker in her neighborhood, working with kids and passing on the resistance tradition of the true rap. 4- Many artists are not afraid to take sides and voice their views with music. Juliano Muta is from Recife and brought to us this song about the moment we are living in our country 5- To fight fascism we have to be in the same side with those who represent democracy. José Demóstenes (Pouca Chinfra) and Bruno Lins (Fim de Feira) composed this song to help Fernando Haddad campaign. 6- A group of artists from Sergipe got together to declare that the true artist do not vote for fascists with the song ‘SOMOS DEMOCRACIA (Artista Não Vota em Fascista)’. This song was sent by Diane Veloso and Alex Sant'anna who also sent the song O Ódio that is also played in the CAS 468. 7- And last, but not the least, the lyric-video of the parody 13 Evidências, adopted from a Chitãozinho & Chororó big hit.

Click on CAS 460 | Free to listen No, we are not Lula voters. We are not PT voters. But we are ‘legalists’ or ‘constitutionalists’. We believe individual rights guaranteed by the Brazilian Constitution should be respected and enforced by unbiased judges. We believe every Brazilian citizen should receive a fair trial, from Lula to Rafael Braga We believe the law can not be adapted to suit political and economical interests. The Brazilian Judiciary system created a whole new interpretation of the law to stop one man from running for president. Our supreme court reverted many of its previous decisions to incarcerate and prevent one Brazilian citizen from running for president. Our supreme court went to the extreme of imposing a gag order on a person who doesn’t even have a final sentence pronounced. That’s the real reason behind the turmoil Brazil is going through now, with the risk of a nazi-fascist candidate finally completing the cycle of the military coup initiated with the impeachment of 2016. The voices of resistance you hear in this show are the ones of the afro-descendants, of the women, of the LGBTxxxs, of the indigenous Brazilian population, of the workers, of the minorities that will be silenced and persecuted by the dark forces that are taking over Brazil. They believe Lula should have been free to run for president, and so do we. But, as things stand, all we can say is: vote for anyone you like, as long as it’s #NotHim #EleNão To put some of the artists of our show in their context, here we present you 3 videos: 1- Chico Buarque & MPB-4 performing Apesar De Você at a TV show called ‘Ensaio’ at TV Tupi in 1971. This song was an anthem hope and resistance against oppression and censorship during the darkest times of the military dictatorship in Brasil. 2- Antônio das Mortes sung by Sergio Ricardo was part of the original soundtrack for the film ‘Deus e o Diabo Na Terra do Sol’ directed by Glauber Rocha. Here we see a clip with some scenes of Antônio das Mortes, character that was created based on a previous work by Sérgio Ricardo. Glauber is also credited for co-writing the lyrics. 3- Não Recomendados is an activist trio of singers dedicated to raise awareness about gender issues and here they perform ‘Não Recomendado’ remixed by Deep Lick in the video directed by Leandro HBL that brings us references to the emblematic 'Parangolés' created by the 60s/70s artist Hélio Oiticica. All that right below the complete playlist of CAS 460 !
