Product Description
Samba Bom's first realese "Samba Mundo" is a variety of Brazilian styles, where we kept the samba roots from the streets of Brazil and add new elements such as Jazz, Rock and even a Bolero. Samba Mundo goes from a light Chorinho or Bossa-Nova to a havy Batucada (Percussion Street Samba) This is a CD made mostly from original compositions, by Moacyr Marchini (Cavaquinho Player & Percussionist) and Tomoko Akiho (Piano Player).
Hermeto's compositional use of angularly extended melodies, his comfort with speech-related rhythms, and his overall choice of instrumentation brought to mind Zappa's work on "Hot Rats", "Waka/Jawaka", and "The Grand Wazoo". However, this similarity does not seem referential, but coincidental. While much can be found on the internet about Hermeto, for the limited purposes of an initial Amazon review, I find his formative years particularly compelling. In particular, it is interesting to consider the way that his path (which in some ways was diametrically opposite to Zappa's) came to produce such an immediately recognizable similarity.
Hermeto showed prodigious strength as a musician very early. His father exposed him to music on the 8-button accordion, at which he immediately excelled. However, his most important musical influences were even less formal. During the day, when most of his family was working in the sun, his albino condition forced him to take shade. To occupy himself during this time, he would experiment with found objects, creating new musical instruments to musically dialogue with his environment. The sounds of nature proved to be a profound influence on him, and he came to view all sounds as inherently musical. This perspective would affect his music as he continued his training, learning to formally read and write music later in life. Eventually, he evolved into a compelling and respected composer and multi-instrumentalist.
This self-directed and organic musical pedagogy that was closely tied to the sounds of nature lies in direct opposition to Zappa's distinctively Western technologically-based evolution. However, the end results yield compelling post-modern similarities. The "found" objects that influenced Zappas were pieces of recorded tape, whether it was speech (Lumpy Gravy) or the xenochronic interactions of unrelated musical events (Jazz From Hell).
Hermeto's found objects include teakettles played with tuba mouthpieces, squeak toys, and water-filled soda bottles. In addition, his melodic sense is informed by more traditional Brazilian music styles like the Choro. His angular, meandering, focused conception of melody and rhythm comes from these experiences. However, despite this disparity of experience, the sonic similarities he shares with to Zappa is compelling, even though they probably had little or maybe even no contact with each other. In both cases, tradition, environment, and "modernity" collided to create something that did not comfortably align itself with any of those narratives.
The Lowdown: While it is highly likely that many U.S. listeners are not familiar with Hermeto, this does not in any way reflect the vision and talent of this amazing musician. If you are a fan of 70s prog-jazz-fusion, you should absolutely check out this recording. His fascinating background is worth a web search. Hermeto has made many recordings, but this one is the easiest to acquire and is a good place to start.
The music here is fresh, challenging, and inspiring; everything you would expect from 'O Bruxo'. The musicianship is virtuostic; especially from the 'Orquestra' members, none of whom is over 25 years of age! This, along with all the great musicians to have passed through Hermeto's tutelage, is Hermeto's legacy; his 'Universal Music' will live and grow forever.
A must for any Hermeto collection; and required listening for jazz fans who want to discover contemporary Brazilian improvised music.
Teresa Cristina has earned her stipes by working the carioca bar scene. Originally from the North Rio borough of Bomsucesso, she won her experience and early fame in the bohemian district of Lapa, in downtown Rio. Teresa met her current musicians at the Teatro Semente in 1978, and therefore the name of the group was born. To date, she has released only three albums: her double CD debut with a tribute to Paulinho de Viola (her debut was nominated for the Grammy to the Best Samba record), her second album "A Vida me Fez Assim" and this album "O Mundo é O Meu Lugar", a live collection of traditional and new songs recorded at the Municipal Theater of Niteroi, a Rio de Janeiro suburb.
The whole album is very solid and both Teresa Cristina's vocals as well as Grupo Semente's musical interpretation are outstanding. Given the quality of interpretation is hard to tell that this is a live record. There is also a DVD version of the record, which is probably a very good idea to try.
If you want to try a few tracks, try the following: "Gorjear da Passarada", "Candeeiro", "O Meu Guri", a beautiful interpretation of Chico Buarque's song and "Embala Eu", a great song which closes the album on a high note.
