n an ever-expanding musical universe, Azymuth have long existed as a celestial giant, drawing countless artists, musicians and followers into their orbit. Marking fifty years since their 1975 debut album Azimuth, their new album Marca Passo proves that the band’s alchemic brew of Brazilian jazz-funk and cosmic samba soul remains as vital as ever, as the group honours the profound legacy of their departed founders.

Recorded in Rio de Janeiro, Marca Passo is the first full-length release since the passing of founding drummer Ivan "Mamão" Conti in 2023, following the earlier loss of keyboardist José Roberto Bertrami in 2012. Alex Malheiros, the sole remaining original member, sees his stewardship of the band’s musical legacy as his spiritual duty. He is joined by the equally devoted Kiko Continentino (Milton Nascimento, Djavan) on keyboards, who has been with the group since 2016, and new recruit Renato Massa (Marcos Valle, Ed Motta) on drums.

Yet since their earliest recorded music, Azymuth have always been far greater than the sum of their parts. The "three-man orchestra’s" unmistakable sound is rooted in Brazil's MPB studio scene of the 1970s and early 1980s—a time when artists blended traditional Brazilian rhythms with global jazz, rock, and emerging psychedelic and progressive elements. Marca Passo continues this legacy, seamlessly fusing Brazilian musical traditions with global influences while showcasing the exceptional musicianship that powers Azymuth's distinctive, multi-dimensional sound.

The album is produced by studio mastermind Daniel Maunick, responsible for Azymuth’s two previous studio albums, Fênix in 2016 and Aurora in 2011. Daniel’s credits also include albums by Marcos Valle, Sabrina Malheiros and Terry Callier. Azymuth also invited Daniel’s father, British jazz-funk royalty Jean Paul “Bluey” Maunick, of Incognito, to play guitar on a new version of Azymuth’s eighties classic “Last Summer In Rio”, in tribute to the song’s composer, José Roberto Bertrami. Equally, “Samba Pro Mamao” is a new composition dedicated to Azymuth’s beloved original drummer, Ivan “Mamão” Conti.

Marca Passo releases on limited edition blue, red & black vinyl LP editions, CD and digitally on the 6th June 2025, via Far Out Recordings, supported by European and North American tours.

may have had a bit of a Friday puff and loaded a track on the playing deck at the very end, apologies, but it was done with love :)

Just some jazzy bits strung together randomly for personal use only (officer)

PREMIERE: Goodvibes Sound – Stay For One More Night (Matt Hughes Remix) [Too Slow To Disco NEO]

Santino Surfers deliver soulful chill-rock on new track 

‘The Soul Echo’ →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams
 
The track is taken from the forthcoming second album by Danish guitarist Jonas Krag’ Santino Surfers project, which follows the success of the self-titled debut of ’23.
 
With ‘The Soul Echo’ Krag’s guitar mastery is on full display, with feathery streams of melody twirling around the loungy blues-rock groove for the full four minutes. Play it at after-dinner drinks or on the car stereo at sunset.
 
The album will be out on Music For Dreams on August 29.

Supported by Koda’s Cultural Funds and Musik Forlæggerne.

[Verse]
Walking down the Champs-Élysées
I saw two Asian models
They were walking
They were talking
Looking pretty
Looking pretty

[Prechorus]
But then two Russian girls
Walked down the street
They were looking so fine
So sweet

[Chorus]
And everybody goes
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
And everybody goes
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
And everybody goes
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
And everybody goes
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

[Verse 2]
They were looking so fine
They were looking so sweet
Those Russian girls
Walking down the street
Looking so fine
Looking so sweet
Looking so fine
Looking so sweet

[Chorus]
And everybody goes
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
And everybody goes
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
And everybody goes
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
And everybody goes
