[ANPPOM-Lista] Kafundó Vol. 3; Electronic Roots from N/E Brazil

[Carlos Palombini]

"a whole new world is about to open up......Nearly every track delves into
a different northeastern rhythm, always careful to avoid overpowering
acoustic recordings with heavy effects – even the faint strains of
triangle, a staple instrument in the region, carry through." - Wax Poetics

"Awesome!" - Munchi

Kafundó Records is back with the third volume of their compilation series.
This time, the focus is North and North-East Brazil, a region with a large
Afro-descendant population, and a music scene that is heavily influenced by
Caribbean sounds. This association with the Caribbean has helped foment a
pride in Afro-Brazilian and Black culture in general. The result is a
transnational stew where Coco meets Dancehall, Forró meets Dubstep, and
Brega meets Moombahton. Carimbó with Wobble Bass, glitched out Dub Coco,
Bahian Hip Hop Ragga, Moombahton Samba, to Maracatu Samba Dub Hip Hop and
frenetic punked out Frevotron.

FurmigaDub, from João Pessoa, brings his trademark wobbles as well as a
slittery guitar melodies to this Reggaeton Carimbó track, Saudadidela;
hailing from Arcoverde, in the heart of Pernambuco, Radiola Serra Alta
definitively bring Coco into the realm of electronic music; further
exploring the Coco/Ragga, electric/organic connection, Chico Correa lays
down an atomospheric Dub groove punctuated with berimbau and Totonho’s
soulful vocals; based in São Paulo, Nirso, brings a mash up of
Afro-Brazilian rhythms to a stripped down Moombahton/Cumbia context;
Opanije (Organização Popular Africana Negros Invertendo o Jogo Excludente -
African People's Organization of Negros Inverting the Exclusive Game)
contributes a swinging Bahian Dembow tracks layered with shimmering
guitarra baiana riffs; Lucio K comes with a stripped down remix of Melô do
Vatapá from Bemba Trio, a big hit in the Salvador Dancehall Ragga scene; as
the title suggests, DJ MAM (Rio de Janeiro) bridges Samba, Carimbó and
Moombahton; from Olinda, Superlage come with a smooth instrumental Cumbia
Carimbó Dub; from Rio de Janeiro, but playing a mix of music more known as
being from the north of Brazil, Mohandas speak of missing of Pará
(saudade); naurÊa, a group from Aracaju, plays what they call Sambaião, or
a mix of Samba and Baião; Salvador Santo, from Olinda, chops up sanfonas
and pandeiros and layers scratches and vocal snippets on top; the young
rapper from Belo Horizonte, B.Réu, manages to meld Samba, Maracatu, Hip Hop
and Dub into a seamless blend; DJ Mangaio comes with a dubbed out
production of Coletivo di Tambor, a group he frequently collaborates with;
while Frevotron (aka DJ Dolores and Yuri Queiroga) rounds it out with a
frantic almost punk frevo electro-rocker with punchy horns, snares and
crazy vocals by the one and only Otto.

Kafundó Records was founded in 2014 in Rio de Janeiro by Maga Bo and
Wolfram Lange aka SoundGoods to release new, innovative music coming out of
the current Brazilian music scene that is inspired by, structured on and
celebrates centuries-old afro-brazilian rhythms. Their compilation series
on the Kafundó records label benefits from their close relationship with
many of the key players in the contemporary Brazilian electronic scene.
