█▓█ Cibelle is a musical force of nature. On this, her debut album,
█▓█ Cibelle for Ziriguiboom/Six Degrees, not only did she sing everything,
█▓█ the Brazilian also wrote or co-wrote virtually the entire disc, in
█▓█ addition to co-producing the record with her startlingly talented
█▓█ young countryman, Apollo 9. It's everything you'd expect from someone
█▓█ whose first appearance on recording was with the late, gifted Suba.
█▓█ Cibelle goes anywhere the Brazilian chanteuse's imagination takes her,
█▓█ exploring sensual bossa nova, downtempo electronica, samba, jazz, and
█▓█ beyond. The mixing, by Chris Harrison and Pete Norris, the men behind
█▓█ Morcheeba's sound, brings out her stunning vision.
█▓█
█▓█ While Cibelle is undoubtedly a Brazilian album, it is just as much a
█▓█ jazz album. And an electronic album. And a spiritual album. And a
█▓█ humorous album in places too. Above all though, it's a natural album.
█▓█ The key sound-sculptor on the project is Sπo Paulo switch-doctor
█▓█ Apollo 9, but Cibelle also peppered the project with a host of
█▓█ venerable musicians and guest vocalists, from percussionist Joao
█▓█ Parahyba of Trio Mocoto, Cuban pianist Pepe Cisneros, and guitarist
█▓█ and composer Ari Moraes to Ross Godfrey of Morcheeba, trombone player
█▓█ Bocato, and percussionist Eder Rocha of Mestre Ambrosio. She's also
█▓█ joined by bossa nova veteran vocalist Johnny Alf, rapper Xis,
█▓█ guitarist and bassist Richard Harrison, French electronic producer
█▓█ David Walters of Zimpala and bass players Serginho Carvalho and
█▓█ Robinho.
█▓█
█▓█ Cibelle is a natural culmination for someone who admits she was always
█▓█ the "full-on arty kind." At six Cibelle insisted that her mother send
█▓█ her to music school, where she began attending guitar class. She took
█▓█ piano lessons until she was twelve, and a couple of years later "got
█▓█ into steady acting and singing at lunch break - everything was an
█▓█ excuse to sing. I joined Ford Models, but I didn't think much of it."
█▓█ That led to television commercials, but Cibelle, the trained actress,
█▓█ performed "mostly doing physical comedy, a character. I did some goofy
█▓█ stuff on MTV Brazil, the promo stuff - I even had a pie in the face
█▓█ once! And I loved it."
█▓█
█▓█ Singing remained a vital part of her life, but it was simply something
█▓█ she did for fun until a respected musician heard her one day and told
█▓█ her she was a singer. "That was the first time I took it seriously."
█▓█ Cibelle had found her passion. She'd go from club to club, jam session
█▓█ to jam session, singing a few songs in each. But her life wouldn't
█▓█ really change until she met Suba, the Yugoslavian producer and
█▓█ keyboard player with a vision of a new Brazilian sound.
█▓█
█▓█ "I went to a jam session one night and I was smoking my Indian
█▓█ cigarettes, when this tall guy, dressed in black, not looking
█▓█ Brazilian at all, lit my smoke with his Zippo. That was Suba. Later I
█▓█ heard this crazy samba with really cool synth, that was weird and
█▓█ exactly what I was looking for, and it was him. A friend pulled me
█▓█ onstage to sing. At the end Suba said he'd been looking for a singer
█▓█ and would I come to his home studio the next day?"
█▓█
█▓█ Cibelle sang on three tracks on Suba's groundbreaking album, Sπo Paulo
█▓█ Confessions. That CD is one of most seminal and revered albums to come
█▓█ from the Brazilian electronic scene. Its erudite blend of traditional
█▓█ sounds and technological prowess was ahead of its time. Cibelle was
█▓█ the main vocalist on the album, enhancing tracks like the wonderful
█▓█ "Sereia," "Tantos Desejos" and "Felicidade," the latter of which
█▓█ placed the lyrics to Tom Jobim's classic bossa nova tune to a truly
█▓█ unique soundscape. After Suba's untimely death in 1999, Cibelle
█▓█ appeared on Suba - Tributo, before spreading her wings and guesting
█▓█ with Juryman on Escape to Where, then offering her sultry voice to
█▓█ up-and-coming singer/songwriter/guitarist Celso Fonseca for his
█▓█ Natural album, (also on Ziriguiboom/Six Degrees Records). The stage
█▓█ was set for Cibelle to make her own record working with Brazilian
█▓█ electronica hero Apollo 9 and she was more than ready. She'd started
█▓█ writing long before she met Suba, "and some of those lyrics are on the
█▓█ album. Some I wrote the week they were recorded - and the same with
█▓█ the melodies. The whole process was really organic."
█▓█
█▓█ She also made sure the sessions were fun and different, "even the way
█▓█ we made samples. I'd close my eyes, put the needle on the record and
█▓█ say, 'Go Apollo, record!'" The jazzy, moody "Waiting" came about after
█▓█ she went to the supermarket "and recorded the cash register and the
█▓█ refrigerator. Next day I went to the studio, and Apollo asked, 'What
█▓█ have you got?' I said, 'Well, I've got this cash register and this
█▓█ fridge and I want to make a track from them.' So he created the bass
█▓█ line, and we started jamming on top. We started adding stuff to it. We
█▓█ both love mellotrons, and Apollo collects old keyboards. My vocal on
█▓█ the record is the original demo."
█▓█
█▓█ She never set limits on herself. "When you're building a track, it's
█▓█ like picking ice creams, trying everything. That's how Suba worked,
█▓█ and that's how I learned to work. It's chaotic, but nice. Everything I
█▓█ listen to and like, I embrace it, and let it come out in my music. I
█▓█ want it to be there. The music happens by itself. I have some initial
█▓█ ideas."
█▓█
█▓█ In fact, she has more than that; Cibelle was involved with writing
█▓█ nearly every track on Cibelle. The sole exception was Antonio Carlos
█▓█ Jobim's languid bossa nova, "In·til Paisagem," subtly rearranged as a
█▓█ duet with bossa veteran Johnny Alf over mellotron, with Cibelle
█▓█ herself providing "na∩ve scratching." The song was a natural choice
█▓█ for her, because "I love it. That was all I needed. I was translating
█▓█ the lyric for a friend, realized how much I loved it, and decided to
█▓█ record it."
█▓█
█▓█ Her album is playful, sensual, familiar but unusual - the perfect
█▓█ distillation of her personality. It's organic and chameleonic, as only
█▓█ a Cibelle album can be, moving mellifluously through a variety of
█▓█ music styles. After all, this is a young woman who takes inspiration
█▓█ from Nina Simone, Tom Jobim, Bj÷rk, 4hero, Ella Fitzgerald and Matmos.
█▓█
█▓█ Although she's recently begun deejaying ("A little bit. It's more disc
█▓█ selecting. I can't really scratch."), she's eager to hit the road with
█▓█ a band.
█▓█
█▓█ "I can't wait to start gigging. I need musicians around me, I need to
█▓█ be doing music and singing or at least shaking a shaker. I need live
█▓█ music."
