Ponto Gira (Original Mamba Mix) - Out on Brazilian Shakedown Vol. 2

Liz Vice, a Portland native who you will more often find behind a mic or camera on a film shoot, has worked in visual story-telling for over five years, working on various productions including the popular television show, Portlandia; a feature film, The A- List; and experience at the advertising firm, Wieden and Kennedy.  Most recently Vice has been recognized for her musical talent on the local music scene, including a show-stealing opening set recently for St. Paul & the Broken Bones at Wonder Ballroom as part of the Soul’d Out Festival.

Vice’s powerful debut album, There’s a Light on Deeper Well records, was recorded almost entirely live to analog tape during the spring and summer of 2013 in Portland. The album, a gospel-fueled nod to the R&B / soul records of the 60′s and 70′s, is modern enough not to be “throw back,” but classically influenced enough to feel timeless.

Liz Vice is passionate and has overcome many personal obstacles; she credits her adventurous life to not forcing anything and being available. "It's all about risk, and taking risk is never regretful…well, mostly."

Vividly captures the romance and passion that we expect from Brazilians... immensely enjoyable - Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim

The history of Brazilian football and the development of the country's musical styles are entwined. The sport is often described as a dance, and with good reason. Domingos da Guia, Brazil's outstanding defender of the 1930s and 1940s, once said 'My elder brother used to tell me: aren't you good at dancing? I was and this helped my football. I swung my hips a lot. That short dribble I invented? I was imitating the miudinho, that type of samba.'

Brazil also invented carnivalesque ways of supporting. In the 1940s Brazilians became the first fans to wear fancy dress at games and football matches are now unthinkable without a soundtrack of Batucada beats. The rhythm, happiness and ingenuity that marks Brazilian football makes it the perfect subject matter for music. Football has inspired almost all the great 20th century popular Brazilian artists including Chico Buarque, Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, Elis Regina and Jorge Ben.

Dalton was a band from Tunis, the capital of Tunisia. They came together as a band around 1968 when most of the members studied together at the University of Tunis. The band had five members. Faouzi Chekili on guitar, piano and vocals, Ridha Kouhen on bass guitar, Mustapha Rehouma and sax and percussion, Sadok Gharbi on trumpet and vocals and Skaner Alim on drums and vocals. They were active in the local scene, playing music that was heavily influenced by American soul and funk and at the same time regional musical traditions. In the early 70s the band got a regular gig at a beach hotel called Sahara Beach Resort on the coastline of Tunisia. They had six month contracts for a couple of years in the early 70s and during that time they would play every single night of the tourist season. While the hotel gig required the band to play sets leaning      towards tourist entertainment, the regular work helped put some money into the band's accounts. Using those funds the band was able to travel to Rome to record their one and only 7“ single release "Alech" around 1971/1972. The band eventually dismantled in the mid 70s and returned briefly as a new group with new members in the late 1970s under the name Carthago but that is a different story…… 

"That "Soul Brother" is my jam…. !!!!" 
Lefto 

The single itself impressed us heavily when we first stumbled upon it through French collector Victor Kiswell. While the b-side "Soul Brother“ sounds like a Tunisian version of modern soul / AOR with it’s English lyrics and lush arrangements, the title track "Alech“ is the one that will get every party started. An infectious 3/4 rhythm, a great horn arrangement and brillantly layered vocals that made us think of Brazillian music or the Georgian groove band Gaya. Luckily Faouzi Chekili, the former band leader and composer uses social media communication so he was easy to track down. He is still active as a renowned musician in the Tunisian jazz scene and remains active recording and playing concerts both in Tunisia and internationally.
