Avolta Jr - Brazil By Azymuth!

Azymuth (or Azimuth as they are sometimes called) must be the most recorded backing band in history. Forget Steve Cropper and those memphis guys - Bertrami and co have played on hundreds and hundreds of singles and albums and this show just scratches the surface of some of the immense musical talent possessed by this trio! The group took their name from a track recorded for the TV Globo novela Veu de Noiva which featured formula 1 as a backdrop. At that time the group were using the name Apolo I...

When bossa nova exploded onto the brasilian music scene in 1958 many artist were caught unaware. the laid back style of Joao Gilberto was ok for after hours listening they argued but what about in the boites, the nightclubs? Afro cuban music and reco-reco samba for tourists for big on the agenda in the nightclubs like Drink run by the infamous gangster pianist Djalma Ferreira. Groups were led by a charismatic leader and usually featured some singers or crooners as they were called who would take...

Avolta Jr - Brazil Guitars!

This show has a link of sorts - showcasing some of the key guitarists to have influenced brazilian popular music in the last 40 years or so!

Durval Ferreira covers the Streisand standard People, Rosinha de Valenca covers Sergio Mendes' classic Zanzibar. ...

Avolta Jr - Brazil By Orlandivo!

Classic sambalanco on this show - dedicated to Orlann Divo (aka Orlandivo, aka D'Orlann) master percussionist and songwriter, a rare combination I'm sure you'll agree! Whilst the Zona Sul kids in RIo were following the uber laid back Joao GIlberto, Orlann Divo, Rubens Bassini, Ed Lincoln, Wilson Simonal, Silvio Cesar and others from the less fashionable Zona Norte were carving out a mixture of heavy Afro Cuban, jazz and samba with a unique dancefloor 'suingue' - sambalanco! Orlann these days has...

Avolta Jr - Brazil By Jorge Ben!

Jorge Ben - what can you say? The man mixed roots samba with bossa jazz and American R&B and the first song he wrote (Mas Que Nada) became one of the world's most covered songs. Some may say that he is formulaiac - but hey, if you like the formula that's great! The show however, is little off the track in that here we have all cover versions of Jorge's classics. Brasil By Jorge Ben! 1. Luiz Henrique - Mas Que Nada 2. Luiz Eca & La Familia Sagrada -Pais Tropical 3. Wilson das Neves - Zazueira 4....

Avolta Jr - Brazil By Donato!

Finally Avolta Jr office is back online and this show is a special on Joao Donato who Avolta Jr spent a week with in London, England, the first that JD had been there since 1965 with Astrud Gilberto! Donato's career and influence have been so long and varied that it's impossible to distill the essence in one show so maybe there'll be more soon? We start with a couple of tracks from boy genius sanfonista - this choppy accordion style mixed with 'modern' stan kenton chords became the basis for bo...

Avolta Jr - Brazil Black Rio!

(This is going to be the last show for a couple of weeks as Avolta Jr is moving office and that means getting the wonderful Terra to move the broadband and you know these things take time, but don't worry the shows will be back as soon I can get connected.) Brazil Black Rio! The movement that grew out of the nightclub sambalanco roots of people like Ed Lincoln and along the way picked up some attitude and sounds from the US soul and funk movement. Mona Lisa starts us from Serginho Meriti a Zon...

Avolta Jr - Brazil Pura Samba!

This show is dedicated to the roots of modern brazilian music in all it's forms - pure samba. Tracks from the 50s to the late 70s, all of which show the inventiveness and style of one of the world's most enduring musical forms. From the slack lyrics of Nadinha to the gangster samba de breque of Kid Morangueira (Moreira da Silva) and the paulista italian immigrant patois of the awesome Adoniran Barbosa. Leading out is Nadinho da Ilha and Yao, followed Eduardo Gudin a late 60s purist revivalist, t...

Avolta Jr - Brazil Novelas Vol 2!

Ah, as telenovelas! Where would we brazilians be without the daily fix of love, murder, intrigue and corruption? The first novelas were on the now defunct TV Tupi and the newly born TV Globo was quick to realise the pulling power of these soaps. Usually each one lasts a few months only, but since the beginning the music in the telenovelas has been a key ingredient to their success. The first novelas on Globo has soundtracks produced in conjunction with Philips Brasil, but Globo soon realised the...

Avolta Jr - Samba Soul Vol 2!

Been a couple of weeks since the last show, so rather than write lots of intros here so I'm gonna do a few catch up shows to post over the next few days. This show is volume 2 of the samba soul theme, starting out with Lady Zu and Toto (not the stadium rock band obviously!) from the soundtrack to the seminal novela Dancin' Days, then Sao Paulo prog rock funksters Som Nosso (de Cada Dia) with the super funky Francois. Pianist Cidinho and Som Tropical (feat. Luiz Vagner) from 1981 with Sarara sem ...
