Brazil 2014.
The african heritage in Brazil is ever present. And perhaps in the music more than anywhere else. The beats of samba, bossa, maracatu, coco and the many other regional rhytms have influences stretching back to western africa.

Brazil is by far the single country in the world that received the most african slaves - estimated more than 3 million - and also the last country to ban slavery in the 1880’s. As a comparison the US in total received only 600.000.

The Brazilian afro-catholic religions candomblé and umbanda are directly linked to the Yoruba, Fon and Ewe culture of western africa. In brazil the african deities became mixed with catholic saints and practices in order to preserve the ancient ways and heritage. Like other religions, it's about spirituality, energy and storytelling. Here music is knowledge. Vinyl is culture. Disco é Cultura.

This first released mix EVFB is called Afro Brazil Orixa Mix - Primeiro (ABOM-1). The songs in the mix has been played out loud on festivals in Denmark and Finland in the summer of 2014 - and has seen very strong reactions on the dance floor.

It is a percussion driven journey into Brazilian afro rhytms, strong voices and spirituality. From pop music to capoeira rituals.

It shows how deeply the orixás has been rooted in Brazilian music, rhytms and language - in music like samba, funk, bossa and even Brazilian popular music (MPB). A lot of artists and bands has taken great pride in writing songs to or about the orixás - especially from the 1950s to the 1970s. It is only one of the fascinating discoveries you can make digging deeper into Brazilian music and language.

Copenhagen 2014.
The mix starts with Amazon Jungle recordings by the Danish descendant Johan Dalgas Frisch. The album does not say when it is published but my guess from what I can find is around 1970 - probably exactly that year. He devoted his private life in Brazil to the preservation of the forest and did some rare and unique recordings of the indians, birds and forest sounds.

The mix ends with a Danish version of Dorival Caymmi's fisherman chant Promessa do Pescador. It is by legendary Danish jazz/latin guitarist Christian Sievert, who was also a great bird lover.

This recording - only a few years after Sergio Mendes version - underline the importance of the afrobrazilian heritage and the uniqueness in Brazil's cultural mix. It was recorded in Nørrebro, Copenhagen - in 1976 - a few 100 yards from my house.
Even back then the impact from this music spread all over the world and influenced many people. Without the internet.
It is obvious on the track that it is not Brazilians singing because of the pronounciation of "Iemanjá" - but still it's very powerful music!

This song is only a little over one minute long. The liner notes states that they over recorded 1 hour straight, but for some reason they cut it down to two 1 minut versions in the studio. I'm trying to see if the master tapes are still around.

Full tracklisting is available below.
Enjoy.

Salvador de Bahia.
It’s the home of Afro-Brazilian culture and pride. From the vibrating streets of Pelourinho to the traditional Mercado Modelo Market and beyond, Bahia is full of food, art, and music that can be discovered or rediscovered. It’s also a great place to dig for records!

The musical traditions and heritage is deeply intertwined with Africa and the Orixás – the Afro-Brazilian spirits and deities brought to Brazil by the slaves – and almost all artists on this mixtape call out these spirits and deities – with the most popular being Iemanjá (Fertility) and Xangô (Justice). The Orixás are the centre of religions called Umbanda (South) and Candomblé (North), African diasporic religions shared with many other Caribbean and Latin American countries. But nowhere are these religions as strong, organised or acknowledged as they are in Brazil.

And so in this continuous journey to expose the strong connection between Brazil and Africa through the music of the past, this second Afro Brazil Orixá Mix mixtape is dedicated to Salvador and the Brazilian state of Bahia.
