My aunt let me *borrow* 25+ of her old Brazilian LPs (Samba, Novabossa, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Joao Gilberto, Stan Getz, Luis Bonfa, Charlie Byrd, Martinho Davila, Tamba Trio, Black Orpheus Movie Sountrack, and many more). I've been mixing them with some of my jungle and acid jazz records with great success. They just seem to fit perfectly. My aunt, unfortunately, wants them back. Does anybody know: 1. Are these old records still available? If so, where? 2. Has anybody ventured into the realm of Acid-Jazz-Samba-Novabossa?

You should lend an ear to "Jazz com Bossa" on Instinct. You would never guess that these are predominantly Japanese acid jazz musicians. The record is one of the best of the spotty "This is Acid Jazz" series. I don't know about vinyl availability, but definitely track down the real jam gems. Good comps are the "Brasil" series on verve (especially "Bossa Nova Brasil"), the "Best of Bossa Nova", and the "Brazil Classics" series. This music is a natural complement to idm, along with a natural mixer to more pop dance music (think, if you dare, of, the Goodmens' "Give it Up" or of "20Hz" by Capricorn). 3

They are definitely available - look in the International, Latin, or Jazz sections of any large music chain. Luis Bonfa might be harder to find, but his stuff would make for some nice breaks...

I tend to prefer samba (enredo in particular) over bossa nova; those massive drum lines make for excellent breakbeat samples, kinda in the same way marching band drums do... GD

im really glad to see ths post...as someone who lived in brasil a long time, im glad the "first world" is beginning to appreciate this music...as to 1.) try cdbrasil for starters, but most big mail order places should have a large majority of these artists. as to 2.) this is tough because ur gonna have to wade through alot of jazz records to find exactly what ur looking for but try hermeto pascoal, flora purim, airto, toninho horta, some of milton nascimentos stuff, some of gilberto gils stuff, carlinhos brown, etc. also, (and i hear the flames already) red, hot + rio is a decent sampler, imo... hope this helps, tom w np: funki porcini - hed phone sex On Thu, 2 Jan 1997 23:57:34 -0500 (EST) Pedro Cevallos <pceval01@fiu.edu> writes:

Speeching of Brazil nuts, I'd like to hear a intellitechnosamba remix of Marrissa Monte. So hot it burns. 3

> red,hot + rio is a decent sampler, imo... The jungle-samba cut by Everything But the Grrrl kicks it all out. I was quite impressed. Didn't know Ms. EBtG had such a sure command of the mellifluous Portugeazy tongue. Don't get all freudian now. The Sakamoto + ...(was it Nascimento?... can't recall) cut is quite fine, as are many others. An interesting experiment, this record, and it succeeds about half the time, which is quite a good hit/miss ratio, considering the number of trax. M. Monte gives us her toosexyforabeat vox. Love the two records of Marina Lima. Some quite fascinating fusions that will move you, a Brazil nightclub of sensuous moods. 3

quite impressed. Didn't know Ms. EBtG had such a sure command of the mellifluous Portugeazy tongue. Don't get all freudian now. Watch out ! I'm Portuguese, therefore speaking that so called mellifluous language. Watch your back. I'll be hunting you down :-) If anyone needs anything feel free to ask. BTW I can buy Brazilian music in every record store. And no, there will never be anyone playing brazilian music as they do. It's mood and feeling come half from the music, half from the lirics/tone of voice. If you're not Brazilian forget it. SWM-"We are sound. We are never what you think we are.

EBTG was a suprise to me also...if u like marina lima, ud be VERY wise to check out her solo stuff when she was known as ....marina....d+b via samba...caliente... tom w np: r.wyatt - dondestan On Fri, 3 Jan 1997 13:34:45 -0500 "Zenon M. Feszczak" <feszczak@sas.upenn.edu> writes:

I don't have any specific adressesses or stores, but my guess would be that New York definitely has specialized Brazilian stores , given its large latin population.

Yeah! Although only for the past few months, so I'm just scratching the surface of The Latin Treasure (TM applied for *grin*). One of the must-haves IMO is the double CD 'Nu Yorica: Culture Clash in New York City', subtitled 'Experiments in Latin music 1970-1977' Even though these tracks are 20+ years old, these guys can teach today's artists a thing or two about funkiness and building a groove! Some names: Eddie Palmieri, Joe Bataan (anyone remember Rap-O Clap-O? :) ), Harlem River Drive and the aptly titled Grupo Folklorico Y Experimentales Nuevayuercino. Added bonus: a very informative booklet! Adios, Otto

while were at it, (and nu yorica is excellent) try africando: Trovador and africando II...african musicians get lost in nyc in the early 70s; meet salsa guys and put out explosive album...should be a movie....tom w np: dub syndicate - research and development On Mon, 6 Jan 97 12:37:00 CST "Otto Koppius" <o.r.koppius@student.utwente.nl> writes:
