One simple way to describe how this project came about, Off-the-cuff! Concepts and ideas were thrown back and forth from Zimbabwe to France via email. But because of busy scheduling nothing was actually agreed upon. So, what to do? Three days were spent in a studio, with nothing but music as our spiritual offering. This is three days before The Monkey Nuts, Hope Masike and DJ OIL were meant to perform at one of Africa’s biggest festivals, The Harare International Festival of the Arts. 
These recordings are an act of impulse, an intermingling of culture and sound, spaced out across two continents. DJ Oil, The Monkey Nuts and Hope Masike present: Boombap Idiophonics.

Brazil 45, number 29: http://www.mrbongo.com/products/dom-salvador-barumba-osmar-milito-morre-e-burro-fica-o-homem-7

A. Dom Salvador - Barumba
AA. Osmar Milito - Morre o Burro, Fica o Homem

We have released several of Brazilian jazz legend Dom Salvador’s records on Mr Bongo. He worked with artists including as Elis Regina, Jorge Ben and Edu Lobo and led Salvador Trio, as well as releasing under his own name. Dom lives in New York and plays a Hotel piano bar daily.

‘Barumba’ is an uptempo funk-jazz monster with heavy drums and piano right from the off. Soaring horns add to the drama.

Originally released on his self titled LP on CBS Brazil in 1974.


Morre o burro, Fica o Homem is the third Osmar Milito track to feature in our Brazil 45’s series. A classic samba-rock track; funk drums fills and punchy horns underpin the MPB vocals, building in tempo slightly over the track. The song was originally written by Jorge Ben.

Taken from his expensive and hard to find ‘Nem Paletó, Nem Gravata’ LP released on ATCO Brazil in 1973.

Osmar Milito - Morre O Burro, Fica O Homem

An amazing French record from 1974 that I heard for the first time a few weekends back at a mates party. Was utterly blown away, so simply had to do a skeemix.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did! 

All credit to the original composers and musicians (R. Hermel & D. Janin ) who are incredible!!
