Brazuca Sounds Leandro Vignoli

Salve! This is a bonus episode for Brazuca Sounds paid subscribers!
Every episode is a different song: "É Preciso Dar um Jeito Meu Amigo " by Erasmo Carlos 
In 1969 Erasmo Carlos left Jovem Guarda behind to join the record label Phillips and introduced a more melancholic aspect to his songs. "É Preciso Dar um Jeito Amigo" is a blues-rock ballad with a distorted pedal-infused chorus, helped by his backup band consisting of Liminha (bass) and Dinho (drums) from os Os Mutantes, and Tropicalia guitar-heroe Lanny Gordin. It's a song about friendship, and one long journey to become a successful musician, and although all songs performed by Erasmo Carlos and Roberto Carlos shared credits, it was Roberto the songwriter for this one, not Erasmo.

In episode #65 we celebrate the music career of Chico Buarque, who turns 80 years old on June 19th. So what about discussing, playing, or mentioning 80 of his best songs ever released? I think it's a great idea, so we discussed his discography from his early days as a bossa-nova aficionado to his protest songs against the Brazilian military regime, his great songs released in the 80s and 90s, covering his music and songwriting to his more recent work. Not in a particular order, though. We spoke about Chico Buarque's numerous facets: the Troubadour, the Chronist, the Bohemian, the Lover, and the Politician.

This is the song today:
"As Curvas da Estrada de Santos " by Roberto Carlos (Roberto/Erasmo)
In 1969 Roberto Carlos mostly dropped Jovem Guarda to incorporate a variety of sounds into his music such as MPB, soul, and rock. "As Curvas da Estrada de Santos" embodies all of his new influences, from Caetano Veloso to his teenage buddy Tim Maia, a rambunctious ballad with tons of brass arrangements, wah-wah guitars, and possibly the best lyrics by Roberto Carlos until then. It's a wildly curveball just like the road he's singing about.

Salve! This is another bonus episode of Brazuca Sounds! Every episode is a different song.
This is the song today:"Ponteio" by Edu Lobo (Edu Lobo/Capinan)
This song was the grand winner of the Festival de Musica Popular Brasileira, a popular music contest made for TV in the 1960s. Performed live by Lobo, Marília Medalha, and Quarteto Novo, "Ponteio" famously finished first ahead of Gilberto Gil's "Domingo no Parque" and Chico Buarque's "Roda Viva". Edu Lobo wrote the melody for a different song he abandoned. The lyrics were finished by his friend, Tropicalia poet Capinan, and became one the most famous important of Brazilian music in "Quem me Dera agora eu Tivesse uma viola pra tocar" (I wished I had now my guitar so I could sing) for his use of metaphors against the military regime in Brazil.

In episode #64 we discuss songs censored during the military regime in Brazil (1964-1985). In April 1964, a coup d'etat took over Brazil, and four years later the government adopted even more restrictive measures with the Institutional Act nº5, so every cultural work (films, books, theatre, and music), required prior approval from the government to circulate. We had another episode on this topic on Brazuca Sounds #8. In this episode, we discussed songs censored by the dictatorship whether because of their political lyrics, their "poor taste" against morals, or simply by any rational reason. We also talked about mysteriously NOT censored songs and what the musicians did to accomplish that. Amongst the artists featured on the podcast are Luiz Gonzaga, MPB4, Ivan Lins, Odair José, Tim Maia, Rita Lee, and more. Access our playlist Brazuca Sounds Podcast Soundtrack.

Salve! This is another bonus episode of Brazuca Sounds!
Every episode is a different song: "País Tropical" by Wilson Simonal (written by Jorge Ben) from 1969
Jorge Ben wrote this song for Gal Costa but Simonal after seeing her performing the song live asked his friend Ben for the scoop. Simonal then not only recorded "País Tropical" first, but his version became an instant hit. Combining elements of Latin jazz, samba, and soul, staccato brass arrangements, and the unmistakable voice of Wilson Simonal, is one the most popular Brazilian songs ever produced.
