The Case of the Night at Club Ipanema
Lately I've been going over all the Brazilian records I used to spin when I would do DJ shows around Portland (most of you were in, like, 8th grade at the time... sigh).
Time today to dig into those platters for a club theme Brazilian show. This is an offshoot of the Brazil Funk show I did one month ago, but the "club" vibe gives me a bit more range than the dancefloor theme of the funk set. Today we will cover a huge range of popular Brazilian sounds from the 60s and 70s.
We start today with some snappy club bossa nova, including a rare bossa excursion from Brazil's forro imp Jackson do Pandeiro. We keep it movin' through some clubby jazz material on our way to a mini-set of lounge-tastic pop samba.
The top of the hour gives me an excuse for a sidebar in the Tropicalia rock theme. Then we move through some laid-back 70s soul before we break off some killer funk to end the set.
Brazil: the beauty of your music, like mama's nipple for my ears...
