  • Axé: Multiple Meanings with a Sole Essence Found in the Unity of Body, Nature and Spirit
    Axé: Multiple Meanings with a Sole Essence Found in the Unity of Body, Nature and Spirit PLÍNIO TADEU DE GÓES, JR. hat does the word axé signify? Is there a way to create one Wdefinition for the word? The term is capable of multiple meanings. How do we unite all of these unique meanings within a single conceptual framework in order to better grasp each distinct understanding of the term? Can we reach a totalizing understanding of axé? Over the course of this paper, I will discuss the various meanings of the term in the hopes that this will add to our understanding of the complex relationships between religion, music, popular culture, and politics in the context of the African diaspora in the Americas. As opposed to discussing how some popular music finds its origin within Candomblé rituals, however, I go beyond such well-known histories and seek to explain how the theology of Candomblé manifests itself in ritual and popular music. Avoiding generalizations, I believe that African religious philosophies have played a primary role in generating a way of life in Northeastern South America and the Caribbean. I use the term axé to explore the above-mentioned relationships because the term appears simultaneously in Candomblé theology, Afro-Brazilian religious practices, and popular music. This article represents the first attempt to explicitly place this central facet of Candomblé theology as a crucial element at the heart of Afro-Brazilian culture. To some Brazilians, the term connotes a sort of upbeat reggae- infused dance music genre, danced at a frighteningly exhausting aerobic pace, from the Northeastern region of the country.

    For Immediate Release Contact: Marcia Argolo Phone: (818) 621-1515 Email: [email protected] Katia Moraes & Brazilian Heart Music Presents ELIS, A CELEBRATION SATURDAY, JANUARY 21 at 7pm @ Brasil Brasil Cultural Center www.katiamoraes.com "It's a shame Elis Regina never appeared in the USA. She was the greatest, my favorite singer ever. All that power and emotion and incredibly expressive phrasing. Had she toured here even once they'd still be talking about her." Brick Wahl, LA Weekly “ELIS, A CELEBRATION” is a tribute to one of Brazil’s greatest and most influential singers. “Elis & Tom,” recorded in Los Angeles in 1974 with the master of modern Brazilian popular music, Antonio Carlos (Tom) Jobim is considered one of the top ten Brazilian records of all time. Her extraordinary expressive voice and incredible sense of rhythm mixed with a controversial personality was cut short when she died tragically in January 1982 of a combination of cocaine and alcohol. Elis began her career in the 1960’s during the dictatorship and helped launch the career of composers Milton Nascimento, Ivan Lins, João Bosco, Aldir Blanc, Tim Maia, Gilberto Gil, Chico Buarque, and many more. Singers Marisa Monte, Leila Pinheiro and Daniela Mercury site Elis as a strong influence in their music. Among her 31 recordings between 1961 and 1982 are the extremely popular three live records (Dois na Bossa) with singer Jair Rodrigues. “Elis, a Celebration” hopes to enrich the knowledge of an audience who wants to discover what Brazil is all about. The night will mix live music with a slide show, video screening and a photo exhibition by photographer Jorge Vismara.

  • From the Streets of Candeal to the Stages of the World
    CARLINHOS BROWN From the streets of Candeal to the stages of the world. Antônio Carlos Santos de Freitas, or simply Carlinhos Brown, was born in the Candeal Pequeno neighborhood in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. Brown is one of the most creative, active, and innovative artists in today’s Brazilian music scene. The multi-talented singer, instrumentalist, producer, arranger, and cultural activist began his career as a percussionist. Extremely connected to Afro-Brazilian culture and carnival in Bahia, Brown has always been of the most prolific producers of themes for trios elétricos during Carnival. Various songs by Brown have been anthems for Carnival in Salvador, such as “Dandalunda,” interpreted by Margareth Menezes, and “Rapunzel,” recorded by Daniela Mercury. Brown’s compositions have inspired many other MPB (Brazilian Pop Music) artists such as Maria Bethânia, Gal Costa, Caetano Veloso, Marisa Monte, Nando Reis, Cássia Eller, Herbert Vianna, and even the heavy metal band Sepultura have all recorded songs composed by Carlinhos Brown. In the midst of the eighties, when the musical climate was exploding with innovation and creativity, Brown created various groups that used music as a way to educate and teach social awareness and non-violence to the youth of Salvador, especially in the neighborhood where he grew up, Candeal Pequeno de Brotas. Such groups include: “Via Quem Vem”; Bolacha Maria, a female percussion group; Lactomia, which brought together underprivileged children from Candeal who made their own instruments from recycled material; in addition to Timbalada; and more recently the group Hip Hop Roots, who under Brown’s guidance, have reinvented playing the surdo drum, and the group Candombless, who combines the sacred songs and rhythms of the Candomble terreiros with popular and electronic music to create an entirely new sound.

  • CARLINHOS BROWN BIO 2020 Um Esteta Intuitivo E Gestual. É Assim
    CARLINHOS BROWN _ BIO 2020 Um esteta intuitivo e gestual. É assim que Antônio Carlos Santos de Freitas, ou simplesmente Carlinhos Brown, pode ser considerado. Nascido em 1962, no bairro do Candeal Pequeno, em Salvador, na Bahia, Brown é visto como um dos músicos mais criativos e inovadores da música brasileira e internacional. Com múltiplas linguagens, o artista se destaca como instrumentista cantor, produtor, compositor, arranjador, líder comunitário, Embaixador Ibero-Americano para a Cultura e jurado dos programas da Rede Globo The Voice e The Voice Kids. Ainda na juventude, o baiano se tornaria responsável por boa parte das revoluções musicais da sua época. Desde então, participou diretamente dos primeiros arranjos que originaram o Axé Music e o Samba Reggae, e compôs centenas de sucessos Brasil afora. No mesmo Candeal onde nasceu, criou, em 1991, um dos projetos mais bem-sucedidos da sua carreira: a Timbalada - cujo nome foi também inventado por ele. O grupo musical, sob a regência de Carlinhos Brown, reinventou as sonoridades do timbau e criou novos instrumentos, como a Bacurinha, Surdos-Virados e Rober Noise. Até a banda de heavy metal Sepultura se interessou pela sonoridade feita pelo músico. O resultado seria o disco Roots (1996), no qual Brown colaborou na produção, nos vocais e ritmização. Até hoje, o disco é considerado um divisor de águas no heavy metal mundial e inspirou bandas como o Slipknot. Hoje, Carlinhos Brown é um dos mais respeitados músicos brasileiros. Com mais de 800 canções criadas, destaca-se pela quantidade de composições de sua autoria que fizeram sucesso. Na lista, estão, por exemplo, “Dandaluna” (gravada por Margareth Menezes, em 2002), “Muito obrigada, axé” (gravada por Ivete Sangalo e Maria Bethânia, em 2009), “Vumbora Amar” (com Alain Tavares e gravada pelo Chiclete com Banana, em 1992), “Selva Branca” (com Vevé Calazans, gravada pelo Chiclete com Banana, em 1988), “Meia Lua Inteira” (gravada por Caetano Veloso, em 1989), ECT (gravada por Cássia Eller, em 1994).

The performances feature Monte’s hand-picked band and guest artists. Praised by The New York Times as possessing “one of the most exquisite voices in Brazilian music,” Marisa Monte has been the benchmark for excellence among female singers in Brazil since she burst upon the scene in 1987. As she approaches the 30-year mark of her career, she still commands the same admiration and prestige that greeted her stunning debut. Her 12 CDs and seven DVDs have sold over 10 million copies worldwide and garnered 11 Latin Grammy Award nominations (winning four) and eight Video Music Brazil awards. For her BAM debut, she will perform with artists that are closely associated with her, including American producer/composer Arto Lindsay, Brazilian singer/songwriter/actor Seu Jorge, and others to be announced. About the Artists Born in Rio de Janeiro, the home of samba, Marisa Monte honed her singing skills with operatic training in in Italy. Her work embraces the traditions of MPB (música popular brasileira) and samba within a pop format that is modern and sophisticated. Aside from being a talented composer—she recorded her own work starting with her second album, Mais (EMI-Odeon, 1991), produced by Arto Lindsay—Monte is considered one of the most versatile performers in Brazil.
