Dom Salvador E Abolição "Hei Você" (Daniel Haaksman Remix, warped +1 BPM)

Lisbon based Batida (AKA Pedro Coquenão) is back with his Afro-house inspired single ‘Pobre e Rico’. Taken from his upcoming album ‘Dois’, the single features samples from a rare Afrobeat groove by Angolan legend Matadidi Mário and lines from the first Angolan movie made back in the 1970s.

In 2012 Batida’s explosive self-titled debut came out on Soundway Records. Mixing the syncopated rhythms of Kuduro with elements of 1970s Semba, Pedro Coquenão won fans for an album that “demanded movement” (The Line of Best Fit) and “gave a view of the old and new, the West and Africa.” (The Guardian)

Inspired by the multicultural hotbed of his home city of Lisbon and trips to Nairobi and Luanda, the new album ‘Dois’ is set for release through Soundway Records on 20th October. Recorded in his own garage-studio over a two-year period, ‘Dois’ features a host of special guests including Spoek Mathambo, Francois and The Atlas Mountains  and Duncan Lloyd (Maximo Park).

Gilberto Gil - Umeboshi (Gerra G Edit)

Hey guys. Passing here to let you know that a sound came out on my SoundCloud. Since this is the week of black consciousness, I thought it important to produce something with this theme.
We live in a country where my ancestors and the vast majority of the population have been enslaved leaving scars in our society to this day.
We must always remember our history and be resistance. ✊🏼 The sample I used for this beat is a capoeira corner from Angola, the style of capoeira that most closely resembles the one practiced in the time of slavery.

Angola is the closest capoeira style to how black slaves fought capoeira. Characterized by being slower, with rapid movements performed close to the ground, as above, it emphasizes the traditions of capoeira, which at its root is linked to the Afro-Brazilian rituals, characterized by candomblé. Its music is cadenciada, organic and ritualized and the correct thing is always to be accompanied by a complete battery of eight instruments, called Angola battery.

It is a manifestation of Brazilian popular culture in which aspects normally understood in a manner segmented by the culture that has become official, such as play, dance, mime, struggle and ancestry, coexist in a cohesive, simple and synthetic way. It has its origins in elements of the culture of various shades of African peoples who were enslaved and kept in captivity in Brazil from the 16th century until the end of the 19th century, syncretized with elements of native cultures (indigenous peoples) and of European origin.

Its a incredible song from this incredible contemporany artist. Check her album: Um Corpo No Mundo. It worth every minute. A lot of afro brazilian influences on it.
My version brings therhythm called Maculele. Its a style and dance that exist since slave times. And it has a strong link with Capoeira. And this percussion is heavy used in Baile Funk music. 

Dessa vez eu faço uma versão da BAnho do Folhas da incrivel Lueji Luna. Usei percussões do Maculele baiano. Estilo que o Funk Carioca usa muito. O Maculele tem suas raizes na época dos escravos e é uma dança e música que é muito ligada a Capoeira.

Ê Boi (Maga Bo Remix) - Samba de Coco Raízes de Arcoverde

“Speaker-bangin’ before all else” (XLR8R) with “some of the smartest ears in the game” (Chicago Reader), “few can make a room explode like Maga Bo” (Flavorpill). A purveyor of “international sonic weaponry and rhythm knowledge” (Rough Trade), the Rio de Janeiro-based DJ/producer is a veteran pioneer of global bass music, with 20+ years of dedicated experience searching out unheralded music bumping from speaker-boxes in the world’s grittiest corners, from Addis Ababa to Zanzibar. 

Maga Bo’s sophisticated approach to international sounds comes from in-person, on-site collaboration with other artists. He has worked on location in Morocco, India, Ethiopia, Senegal, Zanzibar, and South Africa, to name just a few, while delving into a whirlwind of local styles: chaâbi, asmari music, taraab, manganiyar folk music, masqanda, and mbalax. All instruments and vocals come straight from the source. His original riddims and recordings, enriched by the presence of live vocalists and percussion, and enhanced by the philosophies of hip-hop and dub, take the global bass DJ set to a new level, one driven by first-hand experience searching open-air markets instead of just searching the web. 

His current work explores the contours of Afro-Brazilian culture and includes collaborations with the brightest talents in Brazil’s vast musical landscape. An immigrant himself, Maga Bo put down roots in his adopted hometown of Rio -- a cultural melting pot like no other where he has produced baile funk MCs and played drums in his neighborhood samba school. Journeys to Brazil’s northeast region have resulted in recording sessions with unsung folklore heroes Grupo Bongar and Samba de Coco Raízes de Arcoverde. 

A globally in-demand performer, Maga Bo has graced stages from India to Ethiopia to Brazil, at major summer festivals across Europe, and on tour in North America and Australia. He has performed at WOMAD UK, WorldWide, Sydney Festival, WOMEX, Transmediale and Mundial. He’s collaborated with Buraka Som Sistema’s Kalaf, Max Normala aka Ninja of South African rap-rave outfit Die Antwood, Ethio-Jazz godfather Mulatu Astatke, Bollywood star Shilpa Rao, and Brazilian chart toppers BaianaSystem and BNegão, and released critically acclaimed remixes for Asian Dub Foundation, Batida, Bomba Estéreo, Poirier, Filastine, and Systema Solar. 

Maga Bo’s groundbreaking debut full-length album, Archipelagoes, was released on DJ /rupture's Soot Records in 2008 after recording sessions in Senegal, Tanzania, Morocco and South Africa with heavyweight local rappers and musicians. His second full-length, Quilombo do Futuro, landed at #1 on the iTunes Brazilian music chart and #1 on the Rhapsody world music album of the year. The album was lauded by the New York Times as “a cultural manifesto riding on rhythm” and by National Public Radio (NPR) as “defin[ing] a kind of virtual refuge for traditional culture, giving it a welcome place in the techy global music soundscape of the 21st century." 

His track, ”No Balanço da Canoa,” garnered over half a million views on Youtube and was featured in Grand Theft Auto V and the opening ceremony of the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. He’s released music on Jarring Effects, Tru-Thoughts, Ninja Tune, Sound Way, ZZK, Cumbancha and many others. 

He currently releases confrontational, bass-heavy digital roots music from all over Brazil on Kaxambu Records and is an integrant of the live tropical-electro soundsystem band, Sociedade Recreativa. 

Having performed and worked in over 50 countries, Maga Bo walks the walk of the real globalization. Music is the weapon in a world of cultural appropriation, wide-spread poverty and mass migrations.
