seen many pictures of that dude, never heard him
I see there is now a deluxe vinyl reissue of that Liverpool album making the rounds

I gather he's famous for both his accordion skills as much as his production. This one in particular sounds great.

that's actually hermeto pascoal, who in fairness shares many of sivuca's wizardly attributes
sure this has been posted before but here's a good excuse

Gah. I did a google image search, and that was the best of the lot. But pretty crazy likeness, aye.

Maucha Adnet & Helio Alves
singer and pianist duo
― curmudgeon, Wednesday, 6 November 2013 17:54 (ten years ago) link
Helio is a really good piano player and Maucha is good too, she sang with Jobim when she was quite young and I believe is now married to the drummer Duduka da Fonseca. Why? Are they playing near you?

There is picture of them here: http://www.congahead.com/legacy/On_The_Scene/duduka/duduka.html

Thanks. They're gonna be in D.C. at Blues Alley for $25 (plus a drink minimum) on Monday November 11th
― curmudgeon, Wednesday, 6 November 2013 20:01 (ten years ago) link
Think you're gonna go?
― Blecch Dreieinigkeitsmoses (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 7 November 2013 18:58 (ten years ago) link
No, although it sounds like it would be nice show. But I will probably see Jorge Ben at the Howard Theatre on the 16th
― curmudgeon, Thursday, 7 November 2013 19:08 (ten years ago) link
Yeah, you should definitely go see Jorge Ben. I should too.
― Blecch Dreieinigkeitsmoses (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 7 November 2013 19:11 (ten years ago) link
You can always see Maucha and/or Helio and/or Duduka and/or Romero Lubambo at Dizzy's the next time you come to New York.

Ahh, that's right.
― curmudgeon, Friday, 8 November 2013 14:02 (ten years ago) link
Wouldn't be surprised if you they played in DC reasonably often.
― The Killer Inside Meme (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 8 November 2013 14:25 (ten years ago) link
Could be, and they were just never on my radar. Although,it's Brazilian music month it seems in DC. Blues Alley just had Trio De Paz reviewed here in the W. Post http://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/music/at-blues-alley-trio-da-paz-showcases-the-lovely-complexities-of-brazilian-jazz/2013/11/07/61d1e802-4760-11e3-95a9-3f15b5618ba8_story.html
and trumpeter Claudio Roditi is gonna be there as well as Maucha and Helio. The Jorge Ben gig at the Howard is pricey ($65), but I liked him back in 2004 live.

Ha, I meant to mention Nilson.

I'm just learning who those folks are
― curmudgeon, Friday, 8 November 2013 16:10 (ten years ago) link
There is good Brazilian guitar player with an English name, Richard Miller, who used to live in DC, I think he was getting a PhD in music education, but now he lives here.
― The Killer Inside Meme (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 8 November 2013 16:17 (ten years ago) link
Oh yeah, he used to play everywhere around here
― curmudgeon, Friday, 8 November 2013 16:26 (ten years ago) link
Maybe not everywhere, but I know the name
― curmudgeon, Friday, 8 November 2013 16:27 (ten years ago) link
Boogarins, from Brazil, where in the 1960’s psychedelia was also tropicalia, with its rebellious underpinnings. They had the sweet melodic convolutions of tropicalia, some playfully unconventional meters and, at times, some of the modal hypnosis of San Francisco bands like the Jefferson Airplane

Juçara Marçal of the 80s Vanguarda Paulista has a pretty interesting album Encarnado out. The parts I've heard bit like Sonic Youth playing MPB:

So, Brazilian records ca. 1969-73 are filled with amazing "sunshine pop", Free Design style harmonies, for example this soap opera soundtrack:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppmrjMgoRG0
And this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfSMsBiarz4
I can't find any evidence of a direct influence, but intriguingly, the Azymuth guys turn out to be session players on two albums by "Projecto 3" (which is of course a Portuguese version of the name of Enoch Light's label). Surely a coincidence? The title track seems to me to have been ripped of by Tortoise on 'the Bridge at Iguazu Falls', maybe that title is a hint:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2obLyHq3gbE

Brazilian soap opera soundtracks from the 70's often function as great samplers of quality tracks from the era.
