The Sixth Case of the Brazilian Symphony
This week we turn again to the deep well of Brazilian psych, folk, and samba rock... I present the Sixth Case of the Brazilian Symphony.
Both hours today start with a psychedelic folk theme. We hear from Brazilian greats such as Milton Nascimento, Djavan, Jorge Ben, and Tom Ze in the first sets of each hour.
Second sets today dive even deeper into the psychedelic theme with tracks from Gilberto Gil, Alceu Valenca, Jards Macale, and "Gonzagiunho" (or Luiz Gonzaga Jr, son of the famous forro accordion master). We light some incense and get spacey in the middle of each hour.
I end each hour set today by pointing the needle back up towards some fun and clubby sounds. Brazilian music goes with summer; beautiful sounds today for you weekend listening enjoyment.
