We’ve been away for few days and we couldn’t find a way to make a decent post about this episode aired back in April. But as we say in Brazil, ‘a fila anda’ (translating literally, ‘the cue moves on’) and we also have the post for the next episode on the pipeline... In this episode we played some tracks from the debut album by Muntchako, an ‘electro-instrumental’ band from Brasília and some edits and remixes that we frequently play in our parties. Here is a definition of Muntchako’s sound, by themselves: For the complete playlist, click on 'Read More'

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. 
being in Barcelona makes the actual Carnival a bit of an exercise of frustration. In spite of recent efforts by the local Mayor to promote the “folly” in Catalan lands, they are not really up to compromise a Monday and a Tuesday of work to the Momesque rituals. So while we watch from afar the party in Brazil on fire...

It's that time of the year when we regret not being in Brazil. The summer is long, the days are hot and the carnival frenzy is already in the air. Well, all we can do from Barcelona is provide you with some of that feeling... This episode of the Caipirinha Appreciation Society podcast kicks off carnival proceedings celebrating the variety of styles heard in the streets of Brazil this time of the year. We bring you... 
When you move to another city or country, eventually it will happen: one day you have to visit your hometown. It’s always an intense time as you have to take the opportunity to make sure the personal life you left behind is all in working order, meaning: see your bank manager, your accountant, the tax office, the voting authorities, plus spend time with your friends and family. It’s cool if you can stay for an extended period, but if you’re there for only 3 weeks - with Christmas and NYE in the middle and half a dozen invitations to DJ - it can get a little hectic. But we survived to tell the story!... 
A few days after New Year's Eve, Kika and I went to Recife to meet friends and relax a bit after 3 frantic weeks in Rio (more about that in a future post). Sadly, one week was far from enough to see everybody we wanted to, so it turns out we didn’t relax that much. But we did manage to see a lot of people, be it visiting Radio Frei Caneca, watching a ‘pelada’ (informal football tournament), or around a beer and a ‘escondidinho’. And we got to visit the new location of Passa Disco record shop and to hang out with Fábio, its super dedicated, super knowledgeable and super conversational owner. Imagine a record store... 
Filipe Barros has made regular appearances on the CAS playlists since the day we came across his previous band, Bande Ciné. At first they just made groovy versions of French chanson classics, until Filipe started playing his own songs, in French and Portuguese. Soo n afterwards the band had to change its formation and name to Bande Dessinée, when an "emo" band with a similar name emerged. Following his excellent début album 'Miocárdio' under the name Barro, the recently-released 'Somos' consolidates him as a sophisticated musician and producer who is not afraid of making fine pop tunes. We also bring you... 
In this show we bring you the latest album by The Baggios ('Vulcão') and a new/old project: O Branco e o Índio. O Branco e O Índio (click to listen and download the album) is 'old' because the core of the band - Flávio Abbes and Bruno Rezende - have been working on experimental sounds for a few years now. And it's 'new' because, with the addition of the 'rhythm kitchen' - Pedro Serra on drums and Roberto Souza on bass - the project acquired a complete new sound...

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.

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... |
