Ending the year with one last song.
Looking back to all the nice and sad moments of the passing year.
Leaning back with a smile, thinking that it was worth it.


Thanks Cyruption for the great ideas making this something really special.

Finally, Nheengatu is the last track and tells a bit of the history of that dead Brazilian language, which brought aspects of all the languages ​​spoken during the colonial period, Portuguese, Tupi and other native dialects and African dialects that came with the black people during slavery in Brazil.

Minguante is the Brazilian Portuguese for the “waning moon” - the most introspective and reserved phase of the moon. Inspired by the mysterious attraction of the this moment, Brazilian producer Kurup´s latest EP invites us into his world with four fairytale tracks, rich in sculpted electronic sound, exquisitely chosen percussion and flourishes of the musical traditions of his Brazilian background.

Born in Cerrado, the vast tropical savannah of Brazil´s Goiás state, Renato Rocha, AKA Kurup describes his music as ´selva elettrica´ (Electric Forest) and listening to Minguante, it is as if his deep, electronic productions were filtered through the natural world - plants, insects, the dry wind, the moon. This EP was produced especially for Shika Shika and features remix from fellow Brazilian Pigmalião and Shika Shika founders History of Colour AKA El Búho & Barrio Lindo.

Kurup is currently a resident DJ in Sonido Trópico and part of Frente Bolivarista, Tropical Twista and Shika Shika family.

Nheengatu

For this our sixth Botanas single series we have the pleasure to present two stunning original tracks and one beautiful edit from Canadian producer Oonga (who you might have spotted on our Mare Insularum compilation). Oonga is a DJ/producer from Montreal who works with Stonetree Records. 

Opener El Caracol is one of the most personal tracks the artist has ever made. It is based on a poem written by Eli´s (Oonga) dad and dedicated to him. It was written after the two of them had a really deep conversation about hidden pain and then months later his dad showed him the words, and he was extremely moved and so created this beautiful track. 

This inspiration came at the same time as Oonga's exposure to the neo-folkloric slow cumbia tech sound while travelling. He put the two together and this special Botanas was born. His dear friend Ana adapted the words into Spanish and sang the melodies (as well as doing the art). 

Oonga´s music captured our ears right away and these three tracks are the perfect soundtrack to the end of the summer for those of us in the norther hemisphere or to welcome the end of the Winter and brighter times for all those down south!

CC + TTR - MVNDIVAGANTE vol.1 

De uma forma sinérgica e natural, as netlabels brasileiras Tropical Twista Records (@tropicaltwistarecords) & Casa Caos (@casacaos) têm suas histórias entrelaçadas por similaridades e simpatia mútua — somos labels irmãs. Como primeiro resultado dessa intersecção/colaboração, entregamos, feita a quatro mãos, a compilação "Mvndivagante": uma expedição sonora com 16 faixas, reunindo intuitivamente artistas que interpretam, reinventam, questionam e deslocam significados de suas próprias experiências com o mundo.

Mundivagante é uma palavra que vem do latim “mundi” (“mundo”), e “vagus” (“viajante”), logo, um viajante do mundo. Acreditamos que por trás dessa interessante palavra escondem-se muitas nuances de significados; basta ver que o "mundivagante" não é somente aquele que tem a oportunidade de viajar (fisicamente) o mundo todo, mas também aquela que tem interesse em se banhar e nutrir de outras culturas e se aproximar delas; culturas tão diferentes e tão próximas a nós ao mesmo tempo.

Para nós, mundivagante é aquele que tem a vontade inerente de ser do mundo e de que o mundo seja parte essencial dele. 

Com amor e som,
Casa Caos & Tropical Twista Records

[English version]
In a coacting and natural way, the Brazilian Tropical Twista Records & Casa Caos netlabels have their stories intertwined by closeness and mutual sympathy - we are sister labels. As a first result of this intersection and/or collaboration, we present the ‘Mvindivagante’ compilation: a 16-track sound expedition, intuitively bringing together artists who interpret, reinvent, question and displace meanings of their own experiences with the world.

Mundivagante is a word that comes from the Latin ‘mundi’ (‘world’), and ‘vagus’ (‘traveler’), thus, a traveler of the world. We believe that behind this interesting word are hidden many nuances of meanings; it is enough to see that the ‘mundivagante’ is not only the one who has the opportunity to travel (physically) the whole world, but also the one that has interest in bathing and nourishing of other cultures and approaching them; so different and so close to us at the same time.

In this way, “Mvndivagante” reflects the inherent will to be of the world and that the world is an essential part of it.

With love and sound,
Casa Caos & Tropical Twista Records
