The Ipanemas 'The Call of the Gods' coming soon...
The Ipanemas fifth album ‘Call of the Gods’ is a gorgeous slice of Brazilian vintage magic and clearly invokes the spirit of their 1962 debut ‘Os Ipanemas'. Back then they forged their own unique sound by infusing bossa nova with African traditions, jazz instrumentation and the lyrical themes of Samba-Canção [sung samba].
‘Call of the Gods’ exquisitely captures their self styled ‘afro-bossa’ sound of the 1960s, conjuring up that golden age Rio de Janeiro feel. The Ipanemas are a direct link to the old samba roots of the street bars in bohemian Lapa, the 1950s Copacabana jazz joints, and the emerging bossa wave – Wilson and Neco come from the source and made a sound all their own. Crucially, the album is driven throughout by the deep spiritual kick of the Afro-Brazilian religion and music Candomble, whose Gods inspire the title and so much more - as Wilson says ‘Brazilian music is religion’. This album swings with grace and pure class, thanks to the rich experience only The Ipanemas can bring.

Nicola Conte presents 'Viagem' CD/Download out NOW!!!

Italian jazz hero Nicola Conte (Blue Note) sings his Brazilian tune!
‘Viagem’is a compilation of Brazilian bossa nova and hard edged samba jazz from Blue Note’s recording artist, Nicola Conte. The first in a series of DJ compiled albums for 2008 and coinciding with the celebration of 50 years of bossa nova (1958 – 2008), ‘Viagem’pays testament to some of the seminal jazz inspired bossa nova and experimental music circa 1962 – 1970.
Highlights include a re-interpretation of Baden Powell’s and Vinicius Moraes all time classic, ‘Canto De Ossanha’ by Trio Maraya and Bossa Jazz Trio’s version of Jorge Ben’s ‘Vamos Embora Uau’.
This unique collection of Nicola Conte’s personal favourites comes from a defining era in Brazil’s musical and cultural history. All tracks featured derive from the independent labels who helped develop the sound of bossa nova coming out of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro in the 60s. RGE, Som Maior and Fermata record labels were focused on a new wave of artists heavily influenced by jazz and rock and in the case of RGE, would later develop Jovem Guarda artists such as Erasmos Carlos and Edgard & Os Tais and jazz groups like Zimbo Trio to great acclaim both in Brazil and on the international stage.
