SoundGoods’ Carimbolando Mixtape
23 February, 2018It’s been a while since we posted a mixtape from SoundGoods, which is a shame as if you want to find out some of the most exciting fringe dance music, old or new, in Brazil then SoundGoods is your source. Now, there are some mitigating circumstances here as SoundGoods have been, along with Maga Bo, behind the incredible Kafundó record label which has been consistently putting out cutting-edge electronic music from Brazil over the past few years, so he has been busy. Still, it’s great to have him back!
This latest mixtape features carimbó and siría music from Pará state in the north of Brazil. It’s a sound that has been gaining some popularity in recent years due to the success of Dona Onete and the Mestre Cupijó compilation that Analog Africa put out, but there’s still so much to discover. Here’s an introduction to the style as featured on the SoundGoods blog:
“Carimbó is an Amazonian rhythm and dance style of indigenous origin which received influences from black (percussion and sensuality) and Portuguese (woodwinds) culture. The women dance barefooted with long, round and colorful skirts with floral prints. Due to its origin, the music and dance suffered repression by the government of Belém, capital of Pará, in the late 19th century being prohibited to be practiced. The most prominent carimbó musicians are Mestre Verequete and Pinduca. The style became popular in the north-east of Brazil (some songs in the selection) as well where it has been fused with forró and other rhythms of that region of Brazil. Samba singer Eliana Pittman from Rio de Janeiro had a big hit with her song “Mistura de Carimbó” from 1975.”
