Afterclapp launches a hot new remix of "Nouvelles Vagues", a song by Barro and Juçara Marçal

The new version of the song that mixes French and Portuguese with an Afro-Brazilian beat will be released on September 10th, especially for those who love a dancefloor!

The reinterpretation of “Nouvelles Vagues” by Afterclapp follows the proposal of the homonymous movement of French cinema in the 60s: to recreate a version of an original in a non-linear montage.

Thus, the hit of the singer and composer from Recife, Barro, with the singer, composer and music researcher Juçara Marçal gains a new twist with the addition of heavier elements suited for the dance floor. The track from the 2016 album Miocárdio  talks about the impossibility of placing barriers on human beings' travels and mixes French and Portuguese in an engaging Afro-Brazilian beat, as the author explains:
“I wanted to explore in my solo work the Francophone that is in the countries of Africa, much from the Congo-Kinshasa heritage. And then I composed the song in this energy, looking for another approach to the French language, trying to make a relationship between the Afro-Brazilian sound that Juçara already explores very well and that is part of her music territory”, details the author.

The lyrics address migratory flows and carry a critique of xenophobia as opposed to the freedom to come and go across the globe. In the chorus "we go from here to there /
and we'll go to your house”.

Afterclapp mixed elements of Brazilian percussion with a fuller beat and modern bass line, with an orchestral twist, that fits perfectly in party sets and on the dance floor. Redefining the song to reach different audiences:
“Styles converge on Brazilian rhythms while exploring this very rich heritage of our musical culture. We need to explore more of these new approaches and blends”, explains the DJ.

TRIO TERNURA - A GIRA (DJ INCIDENTAL REWORK)

Released in 1975 as part of JorgeBen & GilbertoGil duo album "Jorge & Gil", this song evokes the legendary Carnaval bloco from Salvador de Bahia, the "Filhos De Gandhy", whose history is a great snapshot of Brazil social and cultural roots.

In 1951, following authoritarian Brazilian authorities challenge of some important social welfare benefiting Bahia's port workers, a group of the city's dockers led the opposition, chosing Mahatma Gandhi's famous non-violent approach. 
Unfolding during carnival time, their demonstrations were met with a large popular success, so much that they decided to cement their group through a cultural and spiritual association: a carnival bloco. The "Filhos De Gandhy" (with an "y", I don't know why), were born.  

Today it's one of the oldest and largest blocos in the country with more than 10 000 members. Their white outfit and turban is easily recognizable, and the legend says it gives men wearing it a certain sex-appeal with women :) 
Bahia's strong African legacy is also very much present in the Filhos's songs and chants, often written in Nigerian Yoruba language, while also influenced by African animist religion Candoblé (also know as Afoxé).

Born in Salvador and occasionally partying with the group, Gilberto Gil wrote this 13 minutes-long song, probably as a direct tribute to the Filhos. Here is my drummed-up (and shortened) Dj-friendly edit of it.

P.S.: the photo artwork dates back from 1946/48. It was taken in Bahia by late French photographer and enthnologist Pierre Verger, who dedicated his life studying the links between West Africa and Brasil, notably the Candomblé religion. His work as a photographer is simply stunning, I urge you to google it if you enjoy photo as an art, and Brasil & its people in particular.
