Tony Bizarro _ Não Pode (Murillo Mongelo Rmx)

Released in 1975 as part of JorgeBen & GilbertoGil duo album "Jorge & Gil", this song evokes the legendary Carnaval bloco from Salvador de Bahia, the "Filhos De Gandhy", whose history is a great snapshot of Brazil social and cultural roots.

In 1951, following authoritarian Brazilian authorities challenge of some important social welfare benefiting Bahia's port workers, a group of the city's dockers led the opposition, chosing Mahatma Gandhi's famous non-violent approach. 
Unfolding during carnival time, their demonstrations were met with a large popular success, so much that they decided to cement their group through a cultural and spiritual association: a carnival bloco. The "Filhos De Gandhy" (with an "y", I don't know why), were born.  

Today it's one of the oldest and largest blocos in the country with more than 10 000 members. Their white outfit and turban is easily recognizable, and the legend says it gives men wearing it a certain sex-appeal with women :) 
Bahia's strong African legacy is also very much present in the Filhos's songs and chants, often written in Nigerian Yoruba language, while also influenced by African animist religion Candoblé (also know as Afoxé).

Born in Salvador and occasionally partying with the group, Gilberto Gil wrote this 13 minutes-long song, probably as a direct tribute to the Filhos. Here is my drummed-up (and shortened) Dj-friendly edit of it.

P.S.: the photo artwork dates back from 1946/48. It was taken in Bahia by late French photographer and enthnologist Pierre Verger, who dedicated his life studying the links between West Africa and Brasil, notably the Candomblé religion. His work as a photographer is simply stunning, I urge you to google it if you enjoy photo as an art, and Brasil & its people in particular.

Em "Tartaruguê(versão brasileira tapioca discos)" apresentamos uma releitura de uma das nossas faixas favoritas do novo álbum de Gilberto Gil, OK OK OK, lançado em 2018. 

Acreditamos que a música brasileira pode ser tão diversa, complexa e maravilhosa quanto nós brasileiros merecemos.

Gilberto Gil - Tartaruguê (Versão Tapioca Discos)

Muntchako, for me, is one of the most creative band of Brasília, that uses a lot of humor and a big profusion of rhythms and make an authorial repertoire with instrumental and vocal tracks.

If you don't heard Muntchako, should it: @muntchako

There isn't much information about Djalma Dias but this misterious Brazillian singer born in Minas Geraes won in 1966 a famous TV music contest with the song ¨Bem bom no tom¨. 

His musical career carried on during the 60´s recording an album and some songs for famous Brazillian TV shows (soap operas). 

This edit comes from his track ¨Homem de Verdade¨ from the soap opera ¨Cavalo de Aço¨. I hope it helps you to discover a rare Brazillian artist that isn´t that famous but very talented...

[BIO0019] _ ATLÂNTICO by Dion Castro [included remix by Kika Deeke]

O verão é a estação mais acalorada do ano, principalmente aqui na costa do oceano Atlântico onde somos banhados por esse mar que nos refresca. Para sonorizar esse momento, trazemos o EP "Atlântico" com sonoridades de forte influência de brasilidades, misturado ao disco, house e minimal. Com elementos de percussão naturalmente encontrados em estilos como o samba, o objetivo em misturar esses timbres com música eletrônica é trazer, cada vez com mais força, nossa própria identidade para cena eletrônica. "Atlântico" é assinado pelo produtor @dioncastro de Florianópolis - SC com 3 faixas originais incluindo um remix da produtora @kikadeeke de Balneário Camboriú - SC.

O artista visual Gabriel Engster com seu projeto @a.la.gabs.art assina a terceira capa de sua nova série que vem produzindo em parceria com a Bioma, partiu de referências imagéticas de cactos e partes do corpo como inspiração para os desenhos, para então abstraí-los em múltiplas composições experimentais de arte gráfica correlacionadas às sonoridades de cada lançamento.

To sound this moment, we bring the EP "Atlântico" with sounds of strong Brazilian influence, mixed with disco, house and minimal. With percussion elements naturally found in styles such as samba, the goal of mixing these timbres with electronic music is to bring our own identity to the electronic scene with increasing strength.

Visual artist Gabriel Engster with his project @ a.la.gabs.art signs the third cover of his new series that he has been producing in partnership with Bioma, based on imagery references of cacti and body parts as inspiration for the drawings, for then abstract them into multiple experimental graphic art compositions correlated to the sounds of each release.
