COMFUSOES
Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009
Interesting new album just out on the German label Out/here (from which we licensed Madera Limpia´s “Loco” single (Cat No. Man 030))called Comfusões . This project was put together by Maurício Pacheco (Stereo Maracanã) and the concept is putting together the best of Angolan pop from the 60s and 70s and having it remixed by a classy selection of Brazilian producers such as Mario Caldato, Berna & Kassin, DJ Dolores and Rica Amabis.
Pacheco has been travelling around Angola since 2000 and had access to the archives of Rádio Nacional Angola and selected tracks by Artur Nunes, Teto Lando, Bonga among other local artists. It’s a fine selection of Brazilian remixers as well, definitely those working at the quality end of Brazilian pop/MPB whatever.
You can go to the myspace link above to hear the album, and here’s a taster below:
