a collection of brazilian flavours from the present and the past
compiled by rainer trⁿby
after having plunged into the depths of the diasporic brazilian soul made
in germany, the glⁿcklich compilation series has moved on to present
brazilian fused music from a new generation of artists alongside that of
their idols. the re-definition of the brazilian feeling through urban club
-culture has taken many different forms, always seeking to catch that
special spirit. this third compilation in the series strives to portray the
transformation of this spirit from a musical style and national culture to
an international movement.
"jazz hooligan" rainer trⁿby's abilities to perceive this feeling and to
wander on this essential musical path have made him one of the most
important educators on the scene. his seemingly endless knowledge of
musical history combined with his vinyl addiction have made him an
unbelievable source of inspiration and information for us and many others.
we believe the following presentation of new brazilian fused music compiled
by rainer trⁿby will find many open ears - enjoy!
pathless, a sprout from the berlin based sonar kollektiv provides the
opener "goddess". deep vocal arrangement - ogermannesque. picking up on a
samba-feel we cross over to the guitar-strings of da lata with their song
"pra manha" - brazilliance made in london. the enchanting vocals of liliana
chachian and the stunning arrangement make this one a true representative
of the new school of brazilian music. by the way da lata is a collaboration
between patrick forge "big in his nose and big in his tunes" and the "smoke
city" producer chris franks. the follow-up comes from mr. glⁿcklich himself
and of course his lovely trio. the blossomy track "prima vera" from the
designated trⁿby trio embraces the listener with a vibrant warmth and
percussion madness. rainer told us that the track is dedicated to vera, the
mother of christian, a member of the trio. prima!
guidance recordings from chicago has stunned us over the last few years by
releasing open-minded house-music. their label work has brought us the
track "ife bobowa" by brother of soul. it was a big surprise to find this
treasure on a house 12" b-side - a very live sounding house-bossa-brazil-
burner. by choosing this track rainer displays the opening of different
musical scenes toward each other in their search for common grounds.
from chicago we move over the atlantic to france to discover a brilliant
recording, "samba" by jean-claude kerinec/mamba percussion, a batucada with
playful jazz-drums. this is an old one for the future.
boozoo bajou with their "night over manaus" bossa catches the listener with
intricate vocal sampling and a downtempo-groove. these guys are the latest
members of the new "neue deutsche welle" built on brazilian sun.
lets move over to a real club-classic "ye mele" (luiz carlos vinhas)
interpreted by brazil selection. covered by many artists - including sergio
mendes - this particular version is an obscure recording for conaisseurs
and one of the most finest interpretations of this brazil-standard yet.
when most people think of brazil they think of "rio" so did the dutchman
nico gomez on his recording "rio" - uplifting summer madness with brazil
vocals and a wicked piano riff.
back to the newer school cosmo vitelli with "we don't need no smurf here"
brings us a french hybrid retro bossa - electronics vs. american spaghetti
western guitars. the last "glⁿcklich" classic comes from a south-american
in germany evaldo montenovoÆs "chili con carne". hot like chili this
offbeat bossa shuffler does the job. rainer told us that montenovo is
somehow associated with the catch-up crew (check glⁿcklich 1).
to finish things off on the electronical side of things rainer chose three
tracks that fuse brazilian feeling with the beat and bass-sensitivity of
the 90ies.
modaji earn our deepest respect for they have bewitched us with their
incantory rhythm magic. these london-based guys offer us a deep cosmic vibe
that always manages to stay upfront. the french duo tom & joyce with "vai
minha tristeza - mr. bob s.-remix" deliver a charming brazil house joint
with intricate guitar-play and touching vocals. here mr. bob sinclair
undoubtly proves his talents for more lyrical material - deep authenticity
paired with exotic charm "belle affaire" from the german duo tab two gets a
remix treatment by the trⁿby trio. again, well... brazil-house. this
recording was one of the first remixes of the trio and never came out
commercially.
and if one of these days you get a call from sergio mendes, be sure it's
not our favourite celebrity impersonator rainer trⁿby. we are sure that
this selection will make listeners and dancers alike "glⁿcklich".
