Luedji Luna  Bom Mesmo É Estar Debaixo d’Água   Favoriting Origami      Second album by ascendant Afro-Brazilian singer from Bahia. Brasil Calling, promoting the album, says "...Luedji Luna’s intention was to mix jazz influences with African rhythms throughout the album, between Africa – more precisely in Kenya – and Brazil, with music production shared by Kenyan guitarist Kato Change and Luedji Luna herself. The sound of the album, which has an African influence but mixes diverse references, such as jazz, blues and reggae, also has to do with the formation of the band who recorded with the singer: Kenyan Kato Change (guitars), the Paulista created in Bahia and son of Congolese François Muleka (guitar), the Cuban Aniel Somellian (electric and acoustic bass), the Bahian Rudson Daniel de Salvador (percussion) and the Swede living in Bahia Sebastian Notini (percussion). “The biggest influence of this sensational multicultural meeting was on the sound, and it made perfect sense, because I’m talking about no place, not belonging, the sound could not have such a demarcated territory, it could not be Brazilian, American music, African, Bahian, it has to be world music, right? They were free to create and, within that freedom, printed the identity of each one of them,” she explains."  *   2:05:25 (Pop-up)

it's helpful to remember that one of the most useful words in (European) Portuguese is "fixe", which means "cool" (the same as "legal" in BP). And it's pronounced "feesh". Just drop that word as often as you can and you'll have interesting conversations everywhere you go

I love the way wfmu.org has just enough tech to do cool and useful things, like blend in header breaks into playlists in real time. And none of that awful and useless tech (for tracking and ad-bombing) that 99% of the rest of the web spends 100x of its resources on
