Shower Of Love

Nicola Conte - Arise (feat. Zara McFarlane)

Following Far Out’s reissue of Agustin Pereyra Lucena Quartet’s La Rana, the label continues its memorialisation of the late, great Argentinian guitarist’s music, with the first ever direct from tape, audiophile reissue of Pereyra Lucena’s self-titled debut album from 1970.

One of the outstanding South American guitarists, Agustin Pereyra Lucena commanded a unique position in Latin music history. He hailed from Buenos Aires, but was obsessed with the music of Brazil. A disciple of Antônio Carlos Jobim, Baden Powell and Vinicius De Moraes, the nature of Agustin’s Argentinian roots combined with the nurture of Brazil and its music to give Agustin a sound entirely his own. 

After being scouted in a nightclub, by musician and guitar craftsman Jorge Demonte, Agustin was invited for an audition at Argenitinian label Tonodisc. Before he knew it, aged 22, he was in the studio recording his first album. 

Agustin enlisted fellow Argentinian Brazilophiles Mario "Mojarra" Fernandez who played bass and drummer Enrique "Zurdo" Roizner. He had first heard the duo backing Vinicius de Moraes, Toquinho and Maria Creuza on their legendary La Fusa live album, also recorded in Buenos Aires. For vocals, Agustin brought in his old friend, a French teacher called Helena Uriburu, who at the time had (unbelievably) never sung in a studio before. 

The atypical bossas and spiritual swinging sambas, composed by many of Agustin’s aforementioned heroes, were elevated to new heights by Agustin’s dazzling arrangements and phenomenal guitar playing. The almost cosmic reaches Agustin achieved with his sound are balanced against the stylish sophistication and breezy nature of the music. 

Moments of calm serenity include Agustin’s own composition “Nina No Divagues”, Durval Ferreira and Pedro Camargo’s “Chuva” and the Brazilian bossa classic “Tristeza Nos Dois”, which feels like it draws equally upon exotica and early library records. Accompanied by Roizner’s shuffling samba jazz drums, opener “O Astronauta” is Agustin’s cover of the Brazilian guitar standard composed by Baden Powell. Another Baden Powell classic, “Consolacao” is an extended full-band set, which features Agustin’s crisp guitar dancing around a hypnotic rhythm section. Upright bass is swapped out for a big, round-sounding electric one, which sits loud in the mix for almost seven minutes of deep, groovy, distinctly early-seventies magic.

Agustin passed away in 2019, and it is only in recent years that he is starting to gain his plaudits as one of South America’s greats. On the liner notes of the album Vinicius De Moraes writes: “I think I never saw, with the exception of Baden Powell and Toquinho, anyone more linked to his instrument than Agustín Pereyra Lucena. It would give the impression that if the guitar were taken away from him, he would fade into music as one dies from the amputation of an arm.”

Agustin Pereyra Lucena will be released on audiophile vinyl LP, CD and digitally on the 26th January 2024 via Far Out Recordings.

☽ MIDNIGHT SPEEDBOAT ☽

Welcome back followers for another Sleazy excursion through 2 hours of sublime moods and grooves on our 8th soundcast. This time we explore the feeling of being a passenger on Sleazy's speedboat as he cruises past the Californian shores in the middle of the night. With just the bright glow of the city to light your way, the atmosphere is one of merriment and wonder. Everything seems to be going slow motion as you pass under bridges, sail on by deserted beaches and spot cruise liners in the distance.

Musically this installment brings you a whole host of action from the 70s and 80s (funk, soul and soft-rock), aswell as newer stuff (Balearic, hip-hop) which has caused Sleazy to work very hard on his mixing skills but the A&R men have given it the OK after a long delay! But all you need to do is kick back, relax, dim the lights and shut your eyes...

Enjoy the cruise!

Midnight Speedboat

★ SLEAZY WONDER & ROBBIE VENTURA PRESENT : AMORPHOUS AFRICA ★

Believe it or not since the late 20s and possibly even earlier, musicians in the huge continent of Africa had struggled to get their music heard beyond their front door. Nearly every artist and producer had been trying to find a way to get their music beyond their borders. This could be put down to a flawed system of physical distribution and also the varying differences in language and creative sensibilities amongst neighbouring countries. Of course, the dawn of the internet changed that not only for locals but also the dwellers outside of Africa.

Me and my good friend Robbie Ventura have been listening and getting down to music from the great continent for many years, starting with Ghanaian Highlife before moving onto deeper cuts from the 80s and becoming influenced by the edits and digging skills of crews like Sofrito Specials and Awesome Tapes. After a usual stop by Piccadilly Records last year we decided to team up on a soundcast and put our heads together to choose out favourite 70s - 80s African records and this is what we came up with!

We hope you enjoy this amorphous trip!
