2025: NEW MUSIC (updated daily) - 3

http://www.mrbongo.com/products/brazilian-beats-7

Following on from six volumes, a detour to Brooklyn and a cut-up megamix – all as collected in a special 8-CD boxset – our famed Brazilian Beats compilation series finally returns. Brazilian Beats 7 continues to shine a light on the country’s wealthy musical heritage, both past and present, while acting as an honest guide for listeners seeking exciting and different musical pastures.

Volume 7 collects 20 tracks, spanning a range of styles and scenes from the more obvious to the weirder and lesser-known gems to be found throughout Brazil. There’s cutting-edge, bass-heavy new school hip hop with Karol Conka and her trailblazing producer Nave; sunshine laden soul from Djavan; a Jorge Ben cover courtesy of Junip that does the maestro’s legacy proud; funky Forro accordions from little-known Odair who used to play with Tom Ze; samba rock from SamJazz, a bonafide Sao Paulo classic, and Abilio Manuel; disco fusion from Coaty de Oliveira, taken from an album made for a restaurant no less; hard-edged bossa from the Jorge Autouri Trio; and last but not least Brazil-meets-LA funk in the shape of Jackson Conti, the unforgettable collaboration between Madlib and Azymuth’s drummer Ivan Conti.

1 Karol Conka – Boa Noite / 2 Bemba Trio – Melô do vatapá / 3 Som Sete – Esquindindin / 4 Cláudia - Deixa Eu Dizer / 5 Djavan – Nereci / 6 Junip – Oba, Lá Vem Ela / 7 Odair Cabeça de poeta - Isso é Bonito / 8 SamJazz - Nega, Neguinha / 9 Abilio Manoel - Luiza Manequim / 10 Junior Com Orquestra E Coro - O Campeão (Meu Time) / Hindo Do Flamengo / 11 Coaty de Olivieira – Caminho Livre / 12 Arnaud Rodrigues - Turma do Poie / 13 Brazil Selection – Bananaticoco / 14 Zapattta - A Mesa Santa / 15 Jorge Autuori Trio – Autorizando / 16 Cizinha - Prá Fazer Um Samba / 17 Quarteto Novo – Misturada / 18 Wan Trio – Selvagem / 19 Mestre Bimba - Corridos / 20 Jackson Conti - Plateau Pt. 1

Kill Them With Colour - Ordinary Love

http://www.mrbongo.com/product/tudo-ben-jorge-ben-covered-cd-1149

A collection of covers of master Brazilian musician and writer Jorge Ben. With such classics under his belt as Mas Que Nada, covered by the likes of Sergio Mendes, Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie and Al Jarreau, and the song Taj Mahal which was the source of Rod Stewart’s Do You Think I’m Sexy?, Ben is a huge force in Brazilian popular music.

Often described as the James Brown of Brazilian music due to his prolific output, he is the most sampled Brazilian artist ever with people from the Black Eyed Peas to DJ Marky lifting elements off his tracks. His song catalogue has also been covered by some of the finest bands in Brazil.

This selection represents a more dance-floor orientated outing including mega rarities for the collecting fiends like Cosa Nostra by Os Mutreteiros Grilados and tracks that even Ben himself never got around to singing like Rei Do Maracatu's Cyro Aguiar.
Available on CD, LP, 7" and digital download.

The first single to be taken from СОЮЗ (SOYUZ)'s enthralling fourth album KROK, sees the release of the emotive and personal title track. “Krok” means “step” in Belarusian - and for Alex Chumak and his band this word comes with a lot of meaning. It’s a theme running throughout the album, reflecting the journeys the band has navigated in recent years. 
 
In early 2022, Chumak and original members, Mikita Arlou and Anton Nemahai, joined tens of thousands of Belarusians seeking safety from the political unrest in their homeland and the outbreak of war in Ukraine. Resettling in Warsaw, the band released Force of the Wind in October 2022, garnering widespread acclaim, a string of major European gigs, and led to Polish musicians Albert Karch and Igor Wiśniewski joining the band.
 
Embracing the uncertainty became both the inspiration and main lyrical theme for Alex Chumak, SOYUZ’ composer and arranger. ‘Krok’ was one of the initial songs written for the new album and was the first to feature lyrics. It paved the way for Chumak to find the new poetic language on the record - for the first time in his native Belarusian language. Chumak demoed the song whilst he was still in Minsk in early 2022, and then, as he and his band moved to Poland, he continued developing it. In September 2024, together with other songs, Alex took it on a trip to São Paulo, where he recorded it with the help of his longtime friend and collaborator Sessa and extraordinary musicians Biel Basile and Marcelo Cabral.
 
It is a song about transition and migration, in which this act is poetically reduced to “a step” – into the unknown and unexplored. While singing about it, Chumak also makes a step forward musically. He delivers his very atypical view on samba, which doesn’t pretend to sound Brazilian. A strict yet loose rhythm section is covered with layers of tense acoustic guitars, aleatoric piano lines, and a lush yet restrained arrangement for strings and flutes.
 
This ethereal opening track is taster of the magic to come from СОЮЗ (SOYUZ) new career-defining album.

Lyrics
I don't even know what I'm supposed to do
Please don't step close just gimme some room
Cause I don't need sympathy
I just need a melody

I think I might breakdown, it doesn't even seem that these people feel the same sound
I think I might break free, and finally figure out what the hell it is I'm supposed to be
I think I might break through, and start living my life like it's more than just something to do
And once I get my brain free, I'll find out what it means to me

I don't even know what I'm supposed to do
Please don't step close just gimme some room
Cause I don't need sympathy
I just need a melody

I don't even know what I'm supposed to say
Please don't come close or get in my way
Cause you don't feel the things I feel
And I don't feel the things you feel

Don't Even Know

Don't Even Know feat. The Raindrops
