Mombojó
June 17th, 2010
Mombojó are from Recife in Pernambuco in the North-East of Brazil, a city renowned for its own take on Brazilian music. Mombojó have just released their third album “Amigo do Tempo”, and it’s available for download at their site. Go to the link here, and click on “clique aqui“, it’s as simple as that.
Listening to this I can say it’s as strong, if not stronger, than their last 2 efforts, both of which were excellent. There are a huge amount of influences going on in their music, everything from samba, Mangue, surf (all huge in the north-east) as well as post-rock improv and Tropicalia. I had the pleasure of seeing them live a few years ago when they were promoting their first album and you could see then that something special was going on. The gig was curiously laid-back but woozily psychedelic at the same time. I recommend listening to this if you have any interest in current Brazilian rock. Download and spread the word!
