Popis - FRIENDS FROM RIO.. [VINYL]:
180 gram heavy vinyl issue. In keeping with the very ethos of Far Out, The Friends From Rio Project cements the bonds originally welded by a young Joe Davis, when he set off to Rio, in search of the mysterious sounds of Brazil. Coming from the heart and soul of Rio de Janeiro, the album features some of the most accomplished legends of Rios musical underground, including Alex Malheiros, Hyldon, Aleh, Robertinho Silva, Sabrina Malheiros and a host of other Far Out favourites. Consisting of all original material (with the exception of a blistering version of Jorge Bens timeless Mas Que Nada), this is a reunion of old friends and thats exactly how it sounds, with celebratory whoops and whistles littering the album, it really does sound like a party. Every track is in some way reminiscent of the kind of music Joe Davis and friends were playing on the underground club scene in London, back at the time of the first Rio Project. While principally a Brazilian record, lofty disco synths and funk basslines take tracks So Resta A Porta,Veneno and Fogo No Chao beneath the lights of a spinning mirror ball, while samba batucadas and a fiery brass section keeps Casino Bangu decidedly under the Rio sun. The album also explores deeper territory with Batucada Bidu providing a stint of intense, driven samba percussion beneath the dreamy, hypnotic chanting of Robertinho Silva.
