  • 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).

ATOM™'s new HD album, which is scheduled for released on 18th of march on Raster-Noton, is exactly that! This may well sound a bit over the top, so let me explain why I make this bold statement with such confidence. A long time ago there was a guy with a band named Lassigue Bendthaus, which released some of the best albums ever, exploring every corner of electronic music with such ease it sounded almost surreal. In 1994, he released Render on KK records, which included JKTV/Otaku, a song that defined a crossover style with elements of D'n'B (hardly existing at that time), IDM (nobody knew this then) and pop. It also included Polaire, a minimal masterpiece, glitching over a sublime arrangement. The whole feel of the album was reminiscent of Kraftwerk, but was molded into a form that was eagerly awaiting the new millennium. Four years later, Uwe Schmidt, that's the genius' name, released Pop Artificielle, under the cryptic LB moniker. This album raised the bar for everybody wanting to cover a song for the future, boasting 10 covers in versions that easily surpass the originals. This is mainly due by an enlightened reinterpretation of each of the songs while retaining a very high quality standard; The Rolling Stones' Angie becomes an even melancholic song, Bowie's Ashes to Ashes is rendered into something that actually comes from outer space and John Lennon should have become a really Jealous Guy when he could have heared LB's version.

  • Perspectives on New Wave Cumbia | Norient.Com 7 Oct 2021 06:12:57
    Perspectives on New Wave Cumbia | norient.com 7 Oct 2021 06:12:57 Perspectives on New Wave Cumbia by Moses Iten Since the beginning of the 21st century «new wave cumbia» has been growing as an independent club culture simultaneously in several parts of the world. Innovative producers have reinvented the dance music-style cumbia and thus produced countless new subgenres. The common ground: they mix traditional Latin American cumbia-rhythms with rough electronic sounds. An insider perspective on a rapid evolution. From the Norient book Out of the Absurdity of Life (see and order here). https://norient.com/stories/new-wave-cumbia Page 1 of 15 Perspectives on New Wave Cumbia | norient.com 7 Oct 2021 06:12:58 Dreams are made of being at the right place at the right time and in early June 2007 I happened to arrive in Tijuana, Mexico. Tijuana had been proclaimed a new cultural Mecca by the US magazine Newsweek, largely due to the output of a group of artists called Nortec Collective and inadvertently spawned a new scene – a movement – called nor-tec (Mexican norteno folk music and techno). In 2001, the release of the compilation album Nortec Collective: The Tijuana Sessions Vol.1 (Palm Pictures) catapulted Tijuana from its reputation of being a sleazy, drug-crime infested Mexico/US border town to the frontline of hipness. Instantly it was hailed as a laboratory for artists exploring the clash of worlds: haves and have-nots, consumption and its leftovers, South meeting North, developed vs. underdeveloped nations, technology vs. folklore. After having hosted some of the first parties in Australia featuring members of the Nortec Collective back in 2005 and 2006, the connection was made.

    NEW YORK | SEPTEMBER 1 2017 | BRAZILIAN MUSIC FOUNDATION | ASUOS | EDITION#3 SEU JORGE Sept 27 @ 7:30 PM The Beacon Theatre P. 7 A TRIBUTE TO DAVID BOWIE EDITOR’S NOTE Dear friends, On September 7th we will be celebrating 195 years of Brazilian freedom, Independence Day, with lots of fanfare and excitement. “Brazil’s Independence was officially announced on the 7th of September 1822 from the hands of the Portuguese. Since then it has been a country. For ages Brazil has represented the great escape to a prehistoric, tropical heaven, igniting the Western imagination like no other South American country. Brazil had its unique attributes including having had a reigning monarch and an empire that boasts of a relatively bloodless independence from Portugal. Brazilians did not have to fight tooth and nail nor did they create any type revolt. The King himself declared in the Grito do Ipiranga, "By my blood, by my honor, and by God: I will make Brazil free" with the motto "Independence or Death!" Every year, thousands get together in a mad passion to proudly celebrate Brazilian Independence Day. A country of mythic proportions, people gather in the streets celebrating with banners, balloons and streamers. For those that do not know anything about Brazilian culture, here is an opportunity to go to one of the events, get in the green and yellow mood, and see the richness of Brazilian art and hear the variety of sounds, rhythms and styles that exist in our repertoire. Furthermore, I hope you just enjoy the magazine in general and support Brazilian Music Foundation’s mission, which is to promote, educate and advance Brazilian Music in the Americas.

  • Introduction
    Introduction Lisa Shaw and Tim Bergfelder The proliferating histories of screen stardom Stars and film industries centred on stars have been an important strand in the study and criticism of cinema. As early as the 1920s, theorists including Rudolf Arnheim, Béla Balázs, Siegfried Kracauer and Walter Benjamin discussed the significance of personae, images and iconic stars such as Charles Chaplin and Greta Garbo, and their integral function within the interconnecting aesthetic, social and affective systems that the new mass medium of cinema represented.1 Following the consolidation of Hollywood as an industry and as a popular art form in the 1930s and 1940s, the seemingly universal appeal of stars caught the atten- tion of, among others, anthropologists such as Hortense Powdermaker,2 sociolo- gists such as Edgar Morin3 and semioticians such as Roland Barthes.4 Within the nascent academic discipline of film studies in the 1970s, Richard Dyer’s ground- breaking book Stars (first published in 1979) mapped a field and methodology – or rather a set of methodologies – for the analysis of stars as a simultaneously aesthetic and social phenomenon of modern culture.5 Dyer’s text inaugurated a rich seam of scholarship that has gone from strength to strength in the last few decades and that shows no sign of abating today if the sheer number of publications is anything to go by.6 Nevertheless, while many of Dyer’s original observations and definitions still hold true today, there have been a number of developments in the field and in the actual cultural presence and social function of stars in the decades since the late 1970s that have taken star studies in new directions, with new priorities, new contexts and new parameters.
