Som Imaginário e outros, O lado Brasileiro da psicodélico

The peeps at Mutant Sounds will tell you about how a progressive rock band formed in the early ’70s in Rio de Janeiro by a core of musicians from the Minas Gerais state, the Som Imaginário developed an influential career and also backed artists like Milton Nascimento, Elis Regina, Gal Costa, Fafá de Belém, Sueli Costa, Carlinhos Vergueiro, and Jards Macalé in live performances and recordings. The group was formed by Wagner Tiso (keyboards), Zé Rodrix (organ/percussion/voice/flutes), Robertinho Silva (drums), Tavito (12-string guitar), Luís Alves (bass), and Laudir de Oliveira (percussion), around which Toninho Horta (guitars) and Nivaldo Ornelas (saxes) eventually performed.

Som Imaginario was something I stumbled upon and very glad to have happened cause they have a classic sound and much appreciated musical skills. Much of their albums can be found on amazon or random blogs or just specialty orders either on ebay or specific vendors like dustygroove.

Others I’m excited to bring is Tribo, Modulo 1000 and Equipe Mercado. The Tribe as it would be translated into english was formed by Nelson Angelo, Joyce, Novelli, Toninho Horta and Naná Vasconcelos (later replaced by Nene’s battery) in the early 70’s. Their single Kyrie is a must have for you music lovers and it’s uploaded.

Equipe Mercado is a group formed by Diana (voice), Leugruber (guitar), Richard Ginsburg (guitar), Stul (guitar, bass, piano and voice), Carlos Graça (drums) and Ronaldo Periassu (percussion) in 1970 in Rio with the greatest influence the psychedelic rock of the 60s. They were launched in 1971 with a compact simple songs “The fields of rice” and “Side b rock”, shutting down its activities in the following year.

Thy Shall Share the Wisdom of…[subject here]

Last night was another night of great music but surprisingly Noudi and I on some telepathic wavelength, brough music that was chill and smooth as a motha…so good. Everybody from Jao Gilberto to a Smith’s cover song was in the house. Didn’t expect it but that’s what happened. The story is that Noudi and I don’t really talk before the show on exactly everything that we’ll play for that week but sometimes we’ll chit chat and figure out a good way to transition from one theme to another. Surprisingly and now not so surprisingly, for the majority of the time, we somehow bring in music that flows really great and perhaps it has something to do with weather or the north pole for all I know but it works out great.

So if you guys are for any reason interested in the spicifc musicians played and you read about on here, totally check out their myspace (if they have one) or whatever is out there. I’ll post some links I find here for sho. Enjoy the music as usual. Let us know of any thoughts or concerns. Either post or email at rhythmrue@gmail.com

O My Goodness…there’s NEW MUSIC!?!?!!!…YES

Proposition for a Cinematic Extravaganza in downtown Lubbock

Alright People, I know it’s been a while but it’s summer. I unfortunately have been busy schooling w/ crazy fast summer sessions full studies and nights surprised by random late night drinking and debauchery in the streets of Austin. I’m sure you know how that is. Life is a little more slower out here for some reason. Probably because I’m staying at my parents in the burbs of Round Rock and life is quite the bore out when you’re not in the hub of a “cool” city, breathing and dining with the slicksters and tricksters and the cool cats and the wanabes.

I’ve been left with a lot of time for contemplation and hard work. Do take my apologies if you’ve been waiting for more music and since I’ve come into my reincarnation of the blogging world, do expect more music weekly if not daily. I just wish everything was as easy and convenient as Lubbock had made it by j&b and the others being so close to my house and your house.

I won’t keep make any longer so I’ll just let you know the tracks of this zip file….I hope ya’ll have excited about the rest of summer cause I sure could use some.

Here are a few songs from the week of April 14th

Cesaria Evora: Sodade

Charles Trenet: Que reste t il de nos amours

lisa ekdahl: l’aurore

menahan street band: make the road by walking

eumir deodato: dia de varao

boban zdravkovic: dodji iz tudjine

Bauhaus: Bela lugosis dead

nouvelle vague: bela lugosis dead

marlene dietrich: lili marlene

phil n’ dog: falling into the waters deep

stars: sleep tonight

LATIN LOVES

Big ups to Mr. Jon Creel who sent me this image of his latest form-z masterpiece, it’s quite my fancy, this is what I feel like when mixing that tight shite you here on the live sets..perhaps with a black background and some laser beams of glory and happiness beaming thought the entire image on to the next horizon of sound waves that are out of this w.o.r.l.d.

The mix for our 26th show has been a great one by far and it was a nice little set. The latin loves as I like to call it. I started out w/ Brazil’s Marcelo D2 and went on to Perez Prado of Cuba. We got a great feedback from the tunes the next couple of days and so we went on to cheer and prance around the billowing fields of the dirt yellow grass patches that we so candidly call parks on our campus….yes, it was fun

Tuesday Night Jazz

A wonderful gem was found last night at the Continental Club in south Austin. My friends Dino, Erick and I parked my car and started walking around for a joint to chill out at but first wanted something to eat. So we end up walking around yeying or neying some spots and end up out of choice outside the Continental Club on south Congress and I see a group of young nice lookin peoples and I decide to get a recommendation on food since I didn’t know the area very well. Then the nice lady named Lisa or something tells us we should try Zen the Japanese restaurant that relatively cheap and great taste but also tells us we should come back around 10 for this jazz trio that would be playing in the upstairs of Continental Club and man did she do a great job of persuading us to check it. By the end of her talk we all looked at each other thinking wow, we have to check it out.

That is when an hour later we checked out mr. Ephraim Owens. By far one of the best trumpet players I’ve ever seen and trust me he was amazing. This little joint was a lil off to the side of the main club so it’s like a hidden treasure as Lisa said. It was only 30 or so of us but Ephraim shows up w/ his trio every Tuesday and fills the house w/ his jazzy sensations of smoothness and cool…the original way. If I could place myself in 1939 Harlem and imagine what a bluesy night w/ jazz would be like…it would be like last night and man can he blow that horn so sweetly. I was in love with that sound and I’ll always be. It always makes it better though when someone who knows the trumpet like the back of their hand, tunes it up to its pure beauty. Thank you Mr. Owens for the lovely evening.

If you are in Austin anytime in the future and you’re bored on a Tuesday night, for sure check out the Continental Club on South Congress and check out The Ephraim Owens Experience and tip these guys cause they’re not charging covers at all.

Live Music

We were fortunate enough last night to have the duo Johnny Faa over at the studios and they played some authentic beautiful Irish music that was geared more towards the traditional music. It was Chris Smith and Steve Cooper that came in the studio and brought their flute and bouzouki to educate and entertain us for the first hour of our show with their delightful music. They also played a few songs from their cd’s they were kind enough to share with us and I’ve posted a few of them in zip file you can download from zshare to get the songs played last night. I apologize for the late posting but I had a chunky paper due this morning that I stayed up all night for…so the afternoon nap was necessary.

We also played more of IAM and CFCF and Noudi played some Royksopp and Alif Tree remixd by Felix Laband.

In other news, make sure to show up at BASH’S on Wednesday night for the Old Time Relijun, The Oh Sees & Clipd Beaks show…I know it’s gonna be badass and for it will so much more once I finish the night with a lil set I’ve prepared to ROCK yo face off….seriously, it’s gonna get hot and smokin tmrw night, you won’t wanna miss this. I’m excited so that means it’s gonna be great. I’ll try at least.

We’ll be back for sure after spring break but I’ll post tunes up in between now and then, so no worries. But I’ll be Austin so if anybody knows of any good shows I don’t know bout, for sure leave a note. I’ll be checkin out Chromeo on saturday night so find it on their myspace for more info bout that. Talk to you soon kids.

CFCF

cfcf is Mike Silver from Montreal, Canada. His official remix contest winning version of ‘air war’ by crystal castles is one to really enjoy. He has the very exquisite taste of slower than usual dance beats, trust me you’ll wanna know some of his songs so when I play them next time at a party, you’ll want to recognize and say “I know this song, I have this song, lets DANCE”…then finish the binge you were on. Influenced by daft punk, alan braxe, fleetwood mac, todd rundgren and the nintendo entertainment system, cfcf gives you analog vintage synth video game soundtrack music with a french house twist!

TCO

For today’s selection, I bring you TCO. The aptly named Cinematic Orchestra (TCO) were formed by 30 year old J. Swinscoe back in 1999. At the time Jay was still an employee at Ninja Tune in South London, where he was responsible for export sales at the long-standing independent record label. Swinscoe arrived at London Bridge from Scotland via Yorkshire and Cardiff with a background playing bass and guitar in bands and DJing, as well as a head full of ideas and influences, such as his love of jazz bass players, rhythm sections and film soundtracks.

The tune for you this evening is called “All that you give” featuring Fontella Bass. Here is a good selection for the blog because both me and Noudi have this song and I was going to play it but she already had it on her list. It’s a lovely mix of Fontella Bass and TCO’s great skills of composition. Fontella Bass is one of the great soul sistas that’s still active in the business. She’s originally from St. Louis but started out her big career in Chi-town.
