For their first Afro-Brazilian compilation the German Jazz & Milk label teamed up with Tahira, one of São Paulo’s most active DJs and music collectors. Levanta Poeira (Afro-Brazilian music & rhythms from 1976 – 2016) highlights a few of his favourite DJ pearls and encompasses Brazil’s various regional musical styles influenced by African and Amerindian forms. While most foreign music lovers tend to approach Brazilian music by having American music genres such as Jazz, Soul, Funk, Disco as a reference, Tahira’s personal wish was to showcase the rich musical roots and facets of his country by featuring carefully selected artists and bands from the past 4 decades. Most of these tracks will be made available on vinyl for the very first time with a highlight certainly being Tahira’s “A Toda Menina Baiana” remix (vinyl-only) of one of Brazil’s absolute musical heroes, Gilberto Gil.

Tahira is a well known character and good soul of São Paulo’s music and digging community, regularly searching through record shops, private collections or dusty attics around the country. The passionate DJ dedicated the past four years extensively researching Brazil’s broader spectrum of musical styles and slowly started to introduce more and more African and indigenous elements in his DJ sets. Encouraged by the great acceptance and success during his shows he decided to curate his first compilation project to share his discoveries with the world. “Levanta Poeira” is a popular Brazilian expression meaning "kick up dust." This is a phenomenon that can be found throughout the country, a cultural manifestation that exists where people gather to play, dance and party. Earth is hit by the foot of the dancers raising a cloud of dust. It is a sign that the heat of the Brazilian spirit is present!

The compilation starts of with a key figure of Brazil’s music scene. Since the 1950s, the Genius Gilberto Gil has been gifting us with countless musical blessings. Very few artists were able to not only explore but embody the diversity of Brazilian music as well as he did. Gil’s endless row of classics include the wonderful track “Toda Menina Baiana” which has been revisited by Tahira himself. Adding Ijexá beats, as well as Afrobeat stlye guitars and a horn section on top of the original, Tahira managed to make this legendary song attractive to a young and modern audience. The remix starts of with a long percussion intro, builds up very slowly before finally introducing the first vocal verse - an arrangement especially designed for DJs who love to mix and blend brazilian rhythms in their sets. This remix will be available on vinyl only!

Established in 1995, Barbatuques from São Paulo developed different techniques of body percussion, vocal percussion, tap dance and musical improvisation in their collective experiences. “Baiao Destemperado” is a Forró (a genre of Brazilian music that originated in Northeast) with the famous Barbatuques body percussion trademark. A truly unique and outstanding piece of music!

Back in 1976 Georgette or Georgete da Mocidade recorded “Kiriê” – a track produced by the genius Ed Lincoln, a pioneer of sambalanço, a very groovy music style which mingles samba rhythms and American jazz. The Afro influences on this track are unmistakable. The simple foundation of guitars and percussion create a very warm and electrifying sound layered by Georgette’s beautiful vocals. The rhythmic pattern of the percussion intro is called “Congo de Outro", an Afro Brazilian rhythm with Bantu origins that heavily inspired modern producers and laid the foundation for Baile Funk.

Coco Raízes de Arcoverde are influenced by elements of indigenous and Afro culture. The band was formed in 1992 by Lula Calixto and the Irmãs Lopes. After a while the Irmãs Lopes split up to form their own band but Lula Calixto kept playing with Coco Raízes and made his whole family become part of the group too. They play a kind of Coco style ryhthm called Trupé, in which they use wooden sandals as a percussion instrument, strongly reminding one of clap sounds, which can also be heard in the intro of “Gode Pavão” - a very powerful song impossible not to dance along to!

Renata Rosa is a contemporany artist that blends sounds of the northeast area of Brazil in a very unique way. On “Brilhantina” her indigenous influenced voice fits wisely to the Samba de Coco rhythms. Its ́s an outstanding track from the beginning to the end and a good example of how powerful and bass-heavy percussion-driven music from Brazil can sound these days. Renata Rosa manages to present Brazil’s musical roots in a modern guise, celebrating widely unkown facets of Brazilian music culture.

Global bass producer Maga Bo continuously explores the contours of Afro-Brazilian culture including many collaborations with some of the biggest talents in Brazil’s vast musical landscape. His track ”No Balanço da Canoa” was remixed by another production pioneer Chico Correa who was one of the first to blend Brazilian sounds of the norheast with
electronic beats back in 2003. On his remix he modernized the traditional style of the original version by adding flutes, synth basslines and strong electronic Coco stlye beats.

“In 1960 we received an invitation to play in Recife, a wonderful, exciting and dangerous place, often described as a “social jungle”. The Forró party took place on the first floor of Caxangá´s neighbourhood theatre; With its high ceilings, wooden floors and balconies, the place was perfect for these kinds of events. When all the windows were wide open, there would be a wonderful breeze during the hot tropical evenings.

Since everyone was looking for amusement, the place was packed on weekends. People from all corners of society would arrive nicely dressed, animated and chatting loudly over the sound of clinking glasses.

Pernambuco´s Cachaça, considered by many, especially by the locals, to be the best in the country, had started flowing generously and the popular sugar cane based alcohol lives up to its reputation. We always had a few shots to warm up before performing and by the time the place was packed we were already in a very good mood. 

Our local cachaça had loosened the bodies and minds of everyone in the room, people started to pair off and twirl around to the sound of forró music, smiling and sliding their feet off the floor - a reflex picked up from dancing in rural villages to avoid kicking up the dust”.

Sereia Do Mar - Camarão (Analog Africa No.25)

Today we are Celebrating Yemanjá - Goddess of the sea with this wonderful rework of Camarão´s "Sereia do Mar" by Jorge Madera. 

Download it, Dance AND share it with everyone!!

Every year, on February 2nd, millions of Brazilians pay their respect to Yemanja, Goddess of the sea. She is the source of all the waters, including the rivers of western Africa, especially the River Ogun. 

Her name is a contraction of Yey Omo Eja, which means "Mother Whose Children are the Fish." As all life is thought to have begun in the sea, all life is held to have begun with Yemaya. She is motherly and strongly protective, and cares deeply for all Her children, comforting them and cleansing them of sorrow. She is said to be able to cure infertility in women, and cowrie shells represent Her wealth. She does not easily lose Her temper, but when angered She can be quite destructive and violent, as the sea in a storm.

As milions of Brazilians walk to the sea to pay they tribute to offer the mother of the sea food and drinks, we have decided to join in with an offering in the form of an excellent musical gift prepared with a lots of care by Holland based DJ and Music Producer Jorge Madera.  

Download it, Groove on it ...... and make sure to spread it around !!!!

More Artist Info:
Brazilian DJ in activity since 1989

Apaixonado por música desde a infância o paulistano FGON (AKA Fábio Gonçalves ou DJ FGON) cresceu em uma família que respirava música aos finais de semana. Essa é provavelmente a semente mais forte plantada em sua alma.
Aos 13 anos de idade já era residente em um dos clubes mais icônicos de São Paulo: FLASH. Sua natural busca e descoberta de músicas (novas ou clássicas) seria uma forte base para o aprimoramento de sua técnica. Durante os 15 anos que seguiram muitas casas e públicos o receberam, entre eles Paradise, Times,  Nepal e Free Pass como residente. Em outras, como convidado, com destaque para Warrior, Soundfactory Columbia, Excalibur e algumas outras.
Após um hiato de 10 anos longe da música, voltou a pesquisar e tocar em Brasília, capital federal. Foi curador de projetos e residente de lugares como IN THE BAR e LA RUBIA CAFÉ, e também passou a tocar em festas como PicNick, Festival COMA, Boogie e SOM+AR. Em 2018 fez tour por Londres e Nova Iorque para levar seu som e seus  remixes de música brasileira. Suas produções fazem parte do repertório de muitos dj's pelo mundo que tocam músicas da cultura brasileira em seus sets.
É difícil definir um estilo para um pesquisador e adorador da música. Talvez (mas apenas talvez) transicional seja justo para defini-lo. Seus sets podem ter uma vertente ou diversas dependendo do local, da atmosfera e do tempo do set. Mas em geral suas misturas possuem Afro Brasilidades, World Music, House e Disco Music, Downtempo, Música Orgânica, Étnica e Folclórica.
Fascinated by music since childhood, DJ FGON (AKA Fábio Gonçalves) grew up in a family that breathed music on weekends. This is probably the strongest seed planted deep in your soul.
At the age of 13 he was already dj in one of the most iconic clubs in São Paulo: FLASH. His natural search and discovery of music (new or classic) would be a strong basis for the improvement of his technique. During the 15 years he played in many venues, among them Paradise, Times, Nepal and Free Pass like resident DJ. In others, as guest DJ, highlighting Warrior, Soundfactory, Columbia, Excalibur and others.
After 10 years away from music, he returned to research and play in Brasilia, federal capital. He was a project curator and resident of venues like In The Bar and La Rubia Café, and also started playing at parties such as  PicNick, Festival COMA, Boogie and
 SOM+AR. In 2018 he made his own tour to London and New York to bring his sound and remixes of Brazilian music. Their productions are part of the set of many DJ's around the world that play songs of Brazilian culture.
It is difficult to define a style for a music researcher and worshiper. Maybe (but only maybe) transitional is fair to define it. Your sets may have a strand genre or several depending on the location, the atmosphere and time of the set. But in general have a mix of Afro Brasilities, World Music, Disco Music and House Music, Downtempo, Organic Music, Ethnic and Folklore.

Kumbale Ep

Caetano Veloso - Olha O Menino [FGON ReWork 2019]

“Macumbadaboa” unites the ancestral sounds of Grupo Bongar from Pernambuco, Brazil with the electronic and dub elements of Maga Bo, the American/Brazilian DJ/producer based in Rio de Janeiro.  The project includes the participation of various well known Pernambuco artists - Isaar, Cláudio Rabeca, Lia de Itamaracá e as Filhas do Baracho, Lu do Coco do Pneu, members from the Xambá terreiro, children from the local community as well as the Malian kora player Adama Keita.  The album explores many northeastern Brazilian rhythms such as coco, afoxé and maculelê as well as subtle elements of electronic and dub music.

The songs were recorded in an improvised studio set up by Maga Bo in the Memorial Severina Paraíso da Silva - Mãe Biu, in the terreiro of Xambá in Olinda.  The intention was to bring Grupo Bongar into a familiar atmosphere where Guitinho could compose music and lyrics on the spot, inspired by the history of the Xambá community which was represented by all of the photos, antiques and relics that surrounded them in the Memorial.  

“The lyrics emerged from observing the pieces that make up the Memorial.  The old photos, the utensiles used in the terreiro in the time of Mãe Biu, the old percussion instruments, the maps of Nigeria and Cameroon (where the Xambá folk originated) and the articles of clothing from that time.  Finally, everything that reminds us of our history and the history of our people,” explains Guitinho.  “The repertoire of this album brings traditional songs for the orixás and the entitiies of Jurema.  The original lyrics emerged in the moment, through my observation of the pieces in the Memorial, during the recording.” - Marileide Alves
