Tempura The Purple Boy - Djazz Punk

Frente Bolivarista is excited to present the single "Macelada" by Tempura the Purple Boy & Edgar Valente on their new duo entitled BANDUA. 

The song is part of their upcoming album set for January 2022.

On ''Macelada,'' Tempura & Edgar Valente rework a Portuguese classic, reimagining the well known traditional song as a psychedelic desert record, adding in elements inspired by the region’s landscape. The track features a deep and commanding bass line played by Tempura and eerie atmospheres created from reversed pianos and guitars flying in and out, all of which support the beautifully haunting voice of Edgar Valente, who adopts a gender interplay and sings the song from a woman's perspective, further engaging the musicians with the genderless character of Bandua, the deity chosen to give the name to the project and album.

Lyrics:

Venho macelada, venho de colher macela
Lá dos lados do Castelo, daquela mais amarela x2
Venho macelada, venho macelada
oló ai lari ló lé la, ó lo ai la ri ló ló
venho macelada

Venho macelada, venho de colher macela

Lá dos campos do Castelo para dar ao meu amor
Venho macelada
oló ai lari ló lé la, ó lo ai la ri ló ló
Venho macelada
oló ai lari ló lé la, ó lo ai la ri ló ló

Venho de macelada, venho de colher um cravo
Lá dos campos do Castelo pa dar ao namorado
Venho macelada

Venho macelada, venho de colher um cravo

Venho macelada, Venho macelada
Venho macelada, Venho macelada

Venho de macelada, venho de colher loureiro
Lá dos campos do Castelo, daquele mais ramalheiro
Venho macelada, venho macelada, venho macelada

Venho macelada, venho de colher uma flor
Lá dos campos do Castelo para dar ao meu amor
Venho macelada, Venho macelada

ó la rai la ri lo le la, ó la rai la ri lo ló x4
Venho macelada, venho de colher macela
Venho macelada, venho de colher uma flor
Lá dos campos do Castelo, daquele mai ramalheiro

Lá dos campos do Castelo
para dar ao meu amor
ao meu namorado

[FRE015] Tempura & Edgar Valente - Macelada

In between all the elements Science has already charted and discovered, there are still many we have not yet identified. Nature, and the universe for that matter, still hides many concepts that we have not yet visited or studied, and there exist combinations of those concepts and elements that we haven’t yet explored. In a sense, this work is an ode to that unknown, a fusion of elements from different time periods and places, but that live chemically bound by musical space and time because of the foundations they share, and when put together, create uncharted elements.

 the power of collaboration is on full display in this superb set of songs by Portuguese artists Pedro Martins and Tempura the Purple Boy. Each track holds a unique space which then swerves and unfolds in so many surprising and pleasing ways. Calling on influences and reveries of many tastes and times, from dark and gritty downtempo to early 90’s atmospheric jungle. One can sense the symbiosis that was present in the studio. Pedro’s experience as a producer, studio engineer, DJ and manager of Karakter Records and Tempura’s musical and compositional background was a strong and organic mesh, with Tempura laying down grooves and melodies and Pedro building on aesthetics and overall sound. 

In the end, every new piece of art is laid on top of a foundation of influences. Yet this record shines unique, in it’s masterful fusion of those origins. 

Re-envisioned by 3 artists of massive talent and promise, the remixes fully live up to the quality found in the originals. All of these artists making their debuts on Random Collective. Nada with his dark, atmospheric and extremely compelling remix of Hall of Mirrors. Daniel Hokum concocted a bouncy cut of the same original that is both stripped down and twisted up. Finally, Katabtu caps the EP with an incredibly dreamy and sway inducing rendition of Seismic Activity which he clearly put his soul into, along with a riveting vocal part.

To finish this powerful ritual we have Tempura's dubby and spacious  perspective on “Rainbow Child”. We gather around the sacred fire where a shaman tells the prophecy of the “Rainbow Children. Legend says that a new humanity will be ushered in by the tribe of the Rainbow Warriors, old souls who have incarneted all over on this planet to help shifting the consciousness and anchoring divine light codes into the earth's energetic grid to activate a new higher dimensional template reality. The shaman hands us a wooden cup with a bittersweet tasting brew cooked out of a special selection of plants that grow in the jungle. It will help us remember and see things from a higher perspective the shaman promises.

PREMIERE : Shrumate - IFD (Inner Fog Depth) (Tempura’s Purple Fog) [Undergarden]

"Proverbial Microbial" is a small collection of purple concepts created during the early days of the Covid-19 quarantine. The idea is to give the music a real physical and historical significance by connecting it with the past and bringing it full circle to the present. Taking two specific historical events that occurred in the past century, connecting those with our current 2020 situation, and finally translating it into music, the result comes out as the Proverbial Microbial, that molecular enemy (or friend) that we all fight against and ultimately adapt to.''

Mata Bicho is a satire in the form of a deep industrial slow banger. Inspired by the proverbial purple grandfather, José Maria Lopes, whose illustrious voice you hear throughout the track, the Mata Bicho (translated roughly from Portuguese as ‘'bug killer'') was a very common practice during the old days, where men and women, at a time where there was very little to no access to dental hygiene, would drink homemade liquor in the morning to clean their mouth and teeth before heading to the fields to work. Also mentioned are the ‘'sopas de cavalo cansado'' or ‘'tired horse soups,'' a breakfast served specially to tired children that consisted of a soup made of bread, wine and sugar, done so the children would feel ‘'energized'' as they went to work long hours in the fields. It was well known at the time that alcohol was an effective way to combat fatigue and the ‘'bicho,'' but the side effects of daily alcohol consumption would only be felt years later, resulting in rampant alcoholism and health problems. 

Featuring on this track are also:

João Brito - Electric Guitar 
João Aguiar - Electric Guitar

Special thanks to Nina Erasmus (ifyoulike_ninas_collages) from South Africa who provided the amazing artwork for the album, and magician Renato Rocha (@ku_rup) who took care of the cover design.

This EP is dedicated to all the cultural spaces and people that have been affected by these current events
