The Third Case of the Brazilian Symphony
Regular listeners may have noticed that I have lately been doing my Brazil shows with a guest: DJ Brother Charlie, another Portland gringo with absurdly incredible knowledge of Brazilian music (see also: The Ambassador, host of "The Rio Deal" on XRAY FM, Sundays at 8AM).
But today I am throwing in for a full 2 hours of my own Brazilian tunes. Focus today, again, on all my favorite Brazilian music that doesn't really fit into a dancefloor or club theme... this is the Third Case of the Brazilian Symphony.
The first hour today is built around jazz and Bossa Nova sounds. That sound will move into some groovy MPB from the 60s and 70s by the mid-show point. We move into some psych rock territory at the top of the second hour, with a particular focus on the fine Alceu Valenca LP recently reissued on vinyl ("Molhado de Suor"). We'll wonder through some groovy 70s rock before we wrap up with a small set of tracks from Brazilian rock legends Mutantes and lead singer Rita Lee's solo career.
