​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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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)...

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....

THE ST. GEORGE FILES

21/4/2019

One of the most celebrated supernatural entities in Brazilian culture is Saint George AKA São Jorge, Ogum or Oxossi in Brazil and Sant Jordi in Catalonia.

The guy is not even a saint anymore, but in his day (23 of April) the chap is celebrated in many places around the globe (yes, the globe IS round).

He is at the same time the patron saint of cavalry and police, but he is also patron saint criminals and drug dealers; in some parts of Brazil he is Ogum, in others he is Oxossi; some says he is Turkish, others say he is Palestinian, but now we discovered that yet others say that in reality he is Egyptian!

Confused? Popular culture is confusing ! ...

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...

He was the owner of one of the few temples of samba left in Copacabana, a neighborhood that was home to dozens of live music places back in the 50s/60s.  
Bip Bip was a bar he ran with no intention of becoming rich, but to keep busy and make a decent enough living whilst providing punters with lots of beer, music and culture.
 
He treated the bar as an extension of his living room: you were his guest, to the extent that you were expected to fetch your own beer in the fridge! Since the eighties - when he bought the bar and began organizing his famous ‘rodas de samba’ - his bar acquired a reputation as a point of resistance - culturally and politically. 

The 19 square meters that initially gathered the likes of Cristina Buarque, Elton Medeiros, Walter Alfaiate and Zé Keti shaped a new generation of sambistas that learned the old songs and are now creating their own repertoire, perfectly befitting their distinguished elders.

 We too have our personal Alfredinho tale to tell...
