Oct 2011 26

Brazilian music has a new sound with the band’s debut Humanish, with an unprecedented sound, coming from the mixture of modern, heavy and swinging seventies climates, without leaving asidethe Brazilian roots. Formed by musicians who had already passed through major
national groups of the alternative scenario that played at festivals and opening for bands like Placebo, Pixies, TeenageFanclub, Weezer, Mercury Rev and others, the band featured Carlos Trilha to produce their debut album.

A strong characteristic of the band is to have two vocalists and training have a ”different”, replacing the severe low for a baritone guitar and synthesizer, with the saxophone, drums, percussion and guitar - expanding horizons of sounds and interpretations. With this mixture, Humanish show takesthe listener a modern synthesized sounds and valuing dynamic for those who like good music.

Listen “Algum dia na memória”


The fruits of labor have begun to be harvested. The single “Eu acredito em você” released last year was highlighted at Rolling Stone Magazine and is in the list of bets on the site for 2011 Rock In Press, specialized in brazilian music scenario.

WHERE SECRETS DWELL – ARÍCIA MESS
Jun 2011 08
WHERE SECRETS DWELL Much has been said about the ‘special groove’ in black music but there has been little mention of the knowledge and wisdom that springs from the culture of the Native Indian and African bloodlines shared by Brazilians. ‘Whoever dances like the sea will fear not’, sings Arícia Mess in ‘Where Secrets Dwell”. For the last 15 years, this black carioca singer and composer, descendant of Brazilian indians, has celebrated life and spirit with her music. She was born with rhythm and tempo. Incorporating pop music influences into her style, she has the gift of effortlessly making people dance. Though don’t think moving onto the dance floor is enough; you have to check out her lyrics. It’s all part of the experience.

For Arícia, art is an offering, a way to lessen the sufferings of many, even the recently departed. Thus, her work is dedicated to and celebrates feminine divinities; the Indian and African women who inhabited this continental country and gave up their lives during decades of slavery and pain. If the ‘terreiro’ drums make the connection with the divine, then on the dance floor the experience is repeated with joy and abandon. ‘The Queen of Angola commands us to dance’; she sings – and we all obey. You cannot stand still with this calling.

Arícia has paid attention to every detail of this high quality production. It is a technically accurate and pure production that has the energy of live music. For over a year, she tested this repertoire on stage with the powerful Trio of musicians Bruno Silveira (drums), Joao Paulo Deo Gracias (bass) and Mauricio Caruso (guitar); then with a well-rehearsed band she recorded the base lines. The artistic direction of the CD is also hers, as well as all the arrangements which are also shared with the band and with Carlos Trilha and Fernando Morello, her partners since the end of the 90`s.

Aricia gained much success early on in her career; she was a hit in the nightclubs and on the stages of Rio de Janeiro, with a 9-piece band and her blend of pop and Tropicalism that came straight from Bahia. Back then the music scene was lacking originality. Her first album was released in 2000, as an ‘independent production’ -something which was unheard of at the time. She was one of the first artists to fearlessly mix Tropicalism (and particularly Gilberto Gil’s music) with Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder. Today, diversity is a must in Brazilian cultural expression and being independent is the strategy many use to survive.

Vinicius de Moraes once said that ‘samba is a way of praying’. This album is all about celebrating life with the wisdom of someone who knows how to follow the highs and lows of the tide and waits for the right time. It is about paying attention and doing the right thing, and on this occasion the right thing to do is to listen to “Onde Mora o Segredo/ Where Secrets Dwell” very loud and let it infect you with the joyful power of the music of Arícia Mess.

Marisa Monte and Renato Russo duet
Mar 2010 30

The song “Celeste” with the singer Marisa Monte was extracted from a 1993 demo-tape of the singer’s private archive. The damage DAT tape was physically recovered and its contents extracted in a long time consuming work. Listening to the “initial idea” of music that would become Soul Parsifal (later released on the album “A tempestade” da Legião Urbana), Marisa Monte felt the urge to finish with all the criteria of the initial idea. The 1993 demo song was recorded in a period of 15 minutes between in a break time during the recording session of “THE STONEWALL CELEBRATION CONCERT” the first solo album of Renato Russo.

For the challenge of extracting the voices of an audio file “mono” and make a new arrangement under them, according to the will of the two composers at the time of creation Marisa went to the music producer and sound designer Carlos Trilha, who worked with Renato Russo solo projects.

Carlos Trilha at the date of the singer accepted the invitation promptly. He isn’t yet imagine the size of the technical challenge he’ll faced in the next 3 months.

So, after a lot of research and many hours o hard work Carlos and the team of Orbita Studio get a result where it was possible carefully complete the production that had begun 17 years earlier.

More about Marisa Monte and Renato Russo:

Lyrics:

Ve que o meu sorriso é verdadeiro
Meu coração está desperto
É sereno nosso amor
E santo este lugar

Dos tempos de tristeza
Tive o tanto que era bom
Eu tive o teu veneno e o sopro leve do luar

Porque foi calma a tempestade
E tua Lembrança
A minha estrela
Da alfazema fiz um bordado
Vem meu amor
É hora de acordar

Tenho um jasmin
Tenho hortelã
Tenho um cesto de flores
Eu tenho um jardim e uma canção

Tenho o verão
Tenho valor
Eu tenho um desejo e uma oração
Vivo feliz
Tenho um amor
E eu vou cantar uma canção pra mim
Vem que é hora de acordar

Vê que a minha força é santa
Como foi santo o meu penar
Pecado é provocar desejo
E depois renunciar

Porque foi calma a tempestade
E tua Lembrança
A minha estrela

Vê que o meu sorriso é verdadeiro
Meu coração está desperto
É sereno nosso amor
E santo este lugar

Tenho Jasmim
Tenho Hortelã
Eu tenho um anjo
Eu tenho uma irmã
Com a saudade teci uma prece
Preparei erva cidreira pro café da manhã

E eu vou cantar uma canção
Eu vou cantar pra mim
E eu vou cantar uma canção
Eu vou cantar pra mim
E eu vou cantar uma canção
Eu vou cantar pra mim

esse lançamento de duetos é um grande lançamento !
tem a inedita parceria com a Marisa Monte, é um cd extradionario !
