Absolut killer! Got it last week on vinyl, this is now my "i know if i put this the dancefloor will become crazy" track!

Eliana Pittman - Quem vai querer (Murillo Mongelo Punch)

After storming the global Balearic, Disco and House scenes last year with their first release on Barefoot Beats, the mysterious Brasilian maestros of cut n paste are back once again with two more mighty reworks.
 
Selvagem, who featured on the first release, return again this time with their good amigo Kiko Costato to deliver a top notch slice of dubby, afro influenced, chant infused music that would drive most carnivals absolutely bonkers.
 
Meanwhile over on the flipside, disco afficionados Pete Herbert & Dicky Trisco take a classic sounding Brasilian number, reconstruct it and work it to the max producing a perfect dance floor moment.
 
Cut on limited edition 10” vinyl for all good music lovers.
 
Viva Barefoot Beats!

M a r c o s V a l l e - E s t r e l a r (Bubbling Minds Mix) DISCO BOOGIE FUNK BRAZIL

Libra Discotheque Meet Claudia - Ana Cor De Cana

Released in 1975 as part of JorgeBen & GilbertoGil duo album "Jorge & Gil", this song evokes the legendary Carnaval bloco from Salvador de Bahia, the "Filhos De Gandhy", whose history is a great snapshot of Brazil social and cultural roots.

In 1951, following authoritarian Brazilian authorities challenge of some important social welfare benefiting Bahia's port workers, a group of the city's dockers led the opposition, chosing Mahatma Gandhi's famous non-violent approach. 
Unfolding during carnival time, their demonstrations were met with a large popular success, so much that they decided to cement their group through a cultural and spiritual association: a carnival bloco. The "Filhos De Gandhy" (with an "y", I don't know why), were born.  

Today it's one of the oldest and largest blocos in the country with more than 10 000 members. Their white outfit and turban is easily recognizable, and the legend says it gives men wearing it a certain sex-appeal with women :) 
Bahia's strong African legacy is also very much present in the Filhos's songs and chants, often written in Nigerian Yoruba language, while also influenced by African animist religion Candoblé (also know as Afoxé).

Born in Salvador and occasionally partying with the group, Gilberto Gil wrote this 13 minutes-long song, probably as a direct tribute to the Filhos. Here is my drummed-up (and shortened) Dj-friendly edit of it.

P.S.: the photo artwork dates back from 1946/48. It was taken in Bahia by late French photographer and enthnologist Pierre Verger, who dedicated his life studying the links between West Africa and Brasil, notably the Candomblé religion. His work as a photographer is simply stunning, I urge you to google it if you enjoy photo as an art, and Brasil & its people in particular.

Meu amigo de Nova York (Bernardo Pinheiro Edit)

Trio Ternura have been blowing up lately in the rare-groove / reissue scene with their classic "A Gira," but their catalog is filled with great tunes. Take this percussive jam, the title which translates to "I want to live in your smile." A celebratory ode to life, originally clocking in under 3 minutes was begging for an extension, so I chopped up the best bits & gave the track more room to breathe. Check out the upcoming release of the original on 45 by @mrbongo backed by Eliana Pittman's "Quem Vai Querer." PM me if you'd like a copy for your radio shows, mixtapes or DJ sets! Cheers.

Gosto Amargo de Vida
(Sebastião Valentim - Rubens Confeti - Anderson Antonio)
Morreu na boca da noite achando tudo certo
Dois berros e um patuá moleque mais esperto
Tomou de assalto um casal
Um grito ecoou no jardim
Maria ficou sem João e fim

Na boca um gosto amargo e não era cachaça
E tinha muito veneno e não fazia graça
Nos olhos cor de loucura, um gosto de fumaça
Doidão, doidão, doidão nas suas arruaças

E sempre aquela coisa ruim
Querendo lhe dominar
Menino escravo do mal
Seu nome no jornal

Era um bicho solto de dar pena
E mais caçado que animal
Só no coração de mãe pequena
Tinha esconderijo o marginal

Paulo Ramos - Gosto Amargo de Vida (delícia edit)
