Pioneer of the global bass movement, producer, percussionist and DJ, Maga Bo returns with Amor (É Revolução), his first solo album in 10 years, furthering his on-going exploration of Afro Brazilian music, set for release on his own label Kaxambu Records on May 27th. The debut track Axé para o Bará, a collaboration with  the late candomblé priest, Mestre Antonio Carlos de Xangô, is released today.
 
Internationally renowned for his production work on labels like Ninja Tunes, Tru Thoughts, ZZK and Soundway, Maga Bo has long been blowing the bass bins with his global mesh of digital roots music. On Amor (É Revolução) it's to Brazil - where the US-born/naturalized Brazilian has been residing since the late 1990's - the energy is channeled, on a powerful homage to the country's and his own, rich and spiritual connection to the drum.
 
Collaborating with a veritable cast of singers, musicians and percussionists, contemporary and traditional, from north and south, Maga Bo reconnects with some of his peers he worked with on his 2012 Quilombo Do Futuro record; artists like Russo Passapusso and Roberto Barreto from BaianaSystem (Salvador), singer Rosângela Macedo (São Paulo) and rapper Bnegão from Planet Hemp (Rio De Janeiro). He forges new connections with key names in Brazil's contemporary scenes like Felipe Cordeiro (Belém) and Jeru Banto (Rio de Janeiro), and introduces to the world to some percussion and Afro Brazilian musical purveyors like Mestre Antonio Carlos de Xangô (Porte Alegre).
 
The debut track Axé Para o Bará features the late singer Mestre Antonio Carlos de Xangô, a male priest of the Candomblé religion known in Brazil as a 'pai-de-santo'. The songs features am incessant, galloping rhythm section, a chorus of female call and response vocals answering the Mestre’s prayer and all joined together with Maga Bo’s trademark electronic production, retaining the natural essence and spirt of the music. 
 
Amor (É Revolução) has taken Maga Bo years to complete, with multiple visits to studios, dwellings and temples across Brazil, always with his digital backpack, a modest recording set up, ready to record. 
 
In recent years Maga Bo has been busy touring the world as a DJ, remixing artists like Mulatu Astatke, Bomba Stereo, Asian Dub Foundation and BaianaSystem and is currently in the production stage of a new album with his project in collaboration with artist João Selva and dancer Tereza Azevedo,  Sociedade Recreativa (Jarring Effects).

ULTRA RARE NICARAGUA AFRO SYNTH FUNK MOOG SALSA LP

pizza was cold so i left the party

No shoes. No booze. No chit-chat on the dance floor.

We'll open our journey with an activating cacao ceremony, a popular heart-opening medicine from the jungle highlands of Guatemala. Cacao has been revered for millennia for its ability to inspire creativity, emotional richness + vibrant vitality. 

Feel the effects + flow through a 2-hour electronic dance music DJ set featuring a broad range of genres, tempos, and emotions.

This is all about the movement of the moment.
It's about connections forged in bass + sweat.

This is our space to be authentically expressive:
Multi-faceted, radiant, complex, and embodied.

We come to move. We come to sweat.
We show up to discover the ecstasy + vitality of every moment.

You reminded me alot of myself.
i didnt necessarily agree with everything you said or that was said about you and even though I tried hard to not like you at first, I couldn't deny something special when I saw and heard it.
its almost as if the light had shone through the darkness, no matter what.

I always wished we had met one day, I had daydreams about it. there were many things I would've told you and some part of me thinks I could've changed the way things went if I just had started a little earlier.

I don't remember a whole lot about the day the incident happened but I remember a girl in front of me on the train, who kept side-eyeing me as if she was into me, while talking about someone else she knew was truly in love with her. 
still not sure how I feel about that.

don't wanna make this about myself anymore but this is just me being honest.

this is for you

thank you for existing
