A Cor Do Som
A Cor do Som ("The Color of Sound") is a Brazilian musical group that spun off the backing band that supported Moraes Moreira following his departure from Novos Baianos. Originally this was the name of a side project of Novos Baianos itself which members lived together and experimented with music that blended elements of samba, rock, frevo, choro and baião. The name of the group was suggested by Caetano Veloso and inspired by a song by Moreira and Luis Galvão. History After a period working as a sub-group of Novos Baianos, A Cor do Som started to support Moraes Moreira in his solo career as a backing band in 1975. Later, by 1977, they started to work independently. They experimented with new sounds based on their experiences with Moreira and his fellow Novos Baianos member Pepeu Gomes. In their debut, self-titled album (WEA 1977), the line-up was Dadi Carvalho (ex-Novos baianos and Jorge Ben) on the bass guitar, his brother Mú Carvalho (ex- A Banda do Zé Pretinho) on the ...

Frevo
Frevo is a dance and musical style originating from Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, traditionally associated with Brazilian Carnival. The word ''frevo'' is said to come from ''frever'', a variant of the Portuguese word ''ferver'' (to boil). It is said that the sound of the ''frevo'' will make listeners and dancers feel as if they are boiling on the ground. The word frevo is used for both the frevo music and the frevo dance. Origins of Frevo The frevo music came first. By the end of the 19th century, bands from the Brazilian Army regiments based in the city of Recife started a tradition of parading during the Carnival. Since the Carnival is originally linked to Catholicism, they played religious procession marches and martial music, as well. A couple of regiments had famous bands which attracted many followers and it was just a matter of time to people start to compare one to another and cheer for their favorite bands. The two most famous bands were the ''Espanha'' (meaning Spain), who ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Samba
Samba (), also known as samba urbano carioca (''urban Carioca samba'') or simply samba carioca (''Carioca samba''), is a Brazilian music genre that originated in the Afro-Brazilian communities of Rio de Janeiro in the early 20th century. Having its roots in Brazilian folk traditions, especially those linked to the primitive rural samba of the colonial and imperial periods, it is considered one of the most important cultural phenomena in Brazil and one of the country's symbols. Present in the Portuguese language at least since the 19th century, the word "samba" was originally used to designate a "popular dance". Over time, its meaning has been extended to a "batuque-like circle dance", a dance style, and also to a "music genre". This process of establishing itself as a musical genre began in the 1910s and it had its inaugural landmark in the song " Pelo Telefone", launched in 1917. Despite being identified by its creators, the public, and the Brazilian music industry as "samba", ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
