The Ninth Case of the Brazilian Tag Team
This week I am again joined in the booth by DJ Brother Charlie for 2 hours of tag team Brazilian rare groove.
Our focus this episode will be on "regional" Brazilian music. In Brazil, the term "regional music" encompasses a wide variety of musical traditions from around the vast country. It is a catch-all term for music with local flavor and traditions; almost anything outside the mainstream of MPB, Bossa Nova, Rock, and Jazz. Samba may even be considered regional music if it is sufficiently rootsy or localized.
"Regional music" may come from anywhere in Brazil, but there is no doubt that Northeastern Brazil is the richest source for regional music in the country. Like the Southern U.S. and Eastern Cuba, the North of Brazil is the part of that country that participated most in the slave trade, and therefore absorbed the most African culture. This is manifest in the Candomble religion, along with music and dance including batucada, carimbo and lambada. Northeastern Brazil also absorbed more musical influence from the Caribbean, including cumbia, merengue, and palenque. And one more thing: this region is home to Brazil's version of country music, Forro.
Hear a little bit of everything today with regional music of Brazil.
