Regarding the edit of José Afonso's song "vejam bem" (meaning "take a good look") and it's release on this date, 25th of April, it represents a most significant event. Portugal has been under dictatorship for more than 40 years, up until 1974. During that period, José Afonso's music became forbidden due to it's revolutionary and inspiring nature. This artist was so gifted and had such influence, through his being, art and thinking, that was considered a constant threat to the state. One of the most iconic stories in Portuguese culture, comes from the fact that the Revolution was triggered trough one of his songs, "Grândola Vila Morena", played trough the radio! 
After taking over the radio stations, the revolutionaries played this song to make it possible for others to know what it had began. It was the end of big period of violence, social and cultural degradation and censorship in Portugal, and without any casualties or shots fired. The people's revolution, made with art and peace. Since then, the Portuguese have done an epic effort to become a strong and beautiful country, with Freedom and Love to offer to those who visit us.

The World needs Revolution. Otherwise, there won't be a planet for future generations. It is our time now. With our Music and Love.

We are delighed to present you a most precious gem. Nicolas Jaar, the Fado singer Carminho, edited by the unique Andara. This could only be epic!

There are no doubts that Nicolas Jaar is a legend, that Andara is gold, but regarding Carminho, whom most of you probably do not know, she is one of the most amazing Fado singers alive, and my very favorite female singer for many years . It's hard to put in words the magic of her voice, the soul and perfection of her singing, and most of all, the heritage of Portugal and Humanity that Fado music represents. We are delighted for having such piece of art and sharing it with the Downtempo Community.

Thank you beloved Andara, you never stop bringing light, art and Love to our lives on a daily basis and we could not imagine life or Octo without you!

➤ About this EP : 

Coming up with another surprise from our magic box of treasures is ¨I (aya) care¨, a mystical gift from the mysterious lands of Eastern Europe, specifically Ukraine, that will make you dive into a Universe of spiritual reflection, sonic dreams and beautiful organic grooves.

A work full of deep enigmatic voices from the profound world of the Universal soul, as the EP conception combines musical and spiritual ideas from South America and Eastern Europe, this supported by the unique voice of Maryna Rusia Shukiurava aka Shuma and the production talent of Ok Selekta, presenting here his first EP work ever showing an incredible talent for artistic conception and execution of a wonderful journey.

Apart from this, the EP also showcases the contributions of four other Ukrainian remixers, each adding their distinctive flair while remaining aligned with the album's enchanting journey. This collective effort creates a wholesome experience of medicinal tunes, catering not only to the dance floor but also to the soul.

The EP in the words of the artist: ¨"It's about the importance of caring and being ready to accept care, as I do care about my soul, I do care about other people, I do care about nature and at the same time I care about ¨Pachamama (mother nature)¨ and so Mother Nature is caring about us, it can: heal, give wisdom and inspiration. Finally I would say: "Be empathetic and trust life – that is the message I received from the Ayahuasca, Medicine of Pachamama and I'd like to share it further with my music". ¨

We hope you enjoy it, play it a lot and share it with friends!

About this EP:

We are happy to present to you THDS, a Portuguese-Belgian artist, a very talented multi-instrumentalist, sound explorer and music producer linking folklore and electronic beats in a very natural and special way you’ll discover today…
Made in Brussels, this EP tells above all a story of friendship, after long nights out dancing or one of those cozy “aperos”, they started crafting music and sound textures together : one more proof that music truly brings people together.

¨Esperando¨ is a colorful proposal, full of soul and sounds of the earth, all of them combined in a very pristine way to achieve a very well rounded and technically accomplished EP, where each song is a journey through the world of folklore melodies.

Apart from the 3 original tracks, the 3 remixers Mcfly, Hajna, Slowlane respect the joyful and mystical spirit of the EP, bringing movement and a new palette of sound colors that make this release shine even more.

Plurpura Records Present:

Salvador Poletti, Aldi:
Nobody teaches us how to live, we assume that there is a truth, which we only have the pleasure of seeking from our perspective and human subjectivity. As a society, we take agreements for granted… What is “truth”? Can it be known? Can it be put into practice?
As beings in their human experience, are we really capable of knowing it? Do we live by our own agreements and morality or do we just take everything for granted?

Janis Ep:

Disruptive, introspective, philosophical and seeking to provoke the right questions, it proposes a journey between folkloric influences and slow house; the Cuyana region and the city of Buenos Aires.
