The Second Case of the Nordestino Soul
I've been somewhat reluctant to come back to Brazilian music since the disastrous election there. I follow many Brazilian artists on Instagram, and they have all had the most depressed posts over the past weeks. My heart aches for the beautiful country.
Since the show must go on, I am turning today to some very underexposed Brazilian tunes today... it is one of my regional Brazil shows, focusing on popular sounds from outside the large Southern cities of Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. Not everything today would truly be considered "Nordestino," or northeastern... but it's all north of the two big cities, and close enough for gringos like us.
We will hear some forro today, but more of a nibble around the edges than a full meal. Spotlight today on other regional sounds from Brazil, including carimbo and lambada... and a few fun marches from the blocos (block party bands) of Belo Horizonte. Plenty of fusion today, especially forro sounds fused with jazz or MPB.
Lots of modern material today as well... music released in the past couple years, woven throughout the set.
It's an unusual set today... enjoy the obscure weirdness!
