Two Brazilian artists Davis & Zopelar recently teamed up to deliver their latest offering on the killer Connaisseur Recordings imprint. <\/strong><\/p>\n

To run alongside, the guys have put together a selection of classic Brazilian beats that have influenced their music today. Check out what they put together below.<\/p>\n

1. Jorge Antunes – Cinta Cita (1969)<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n

Considered the first electro-acoustic\/electronic album made in Brazil, Mental Experience presents the first vinyl reissue of Jorge Antunes’s M\u00fasica Eletr\u00f4nica, originally released in 1975. During the early ’60s, Antunes built his own components for making electronic music: theremin, sawtooth oscillator, a spring-reverb device, a frequency filter. The works on M\u00fasica Eletr\u00f4nica were recorded at Antunes’s home studio and at the Electronic Music Laboratory of the Institute Torcuato Di Tella, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.<\/p>\n

“Cinta Cita” (1969) was the first piece recorded by Antunes at a professional studio. Pure electronic sounds and pulsating rhythms use filtered noise and synthetic sounds created by additive synthesis.<\/p>\n

During the ’70s he worked under the guidance of Pierre Schaeffer and Iannis Xenakis among others. Antunes is presently the Director of the Electroacoustic Music Studio of the University of Brasilia and President of the Brazilian Society for Electroacoustic Music.<\/p>\n

2. Hermeto Pascoal – Chorinho Pra Ele (1977)<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n

Hermeto Pascoal, the Brazilian multi-instrumentalist whose contribution to jazz is beyond measure ever since the short-lived Quarteto Novo and his collaboration with Miles Davison Live Evil, surrounds himself with a stellar line-up on this long awaited reissue. With an impressive ensemble including Weather Report’s Chester Thompson and Alphonso Johnson, and with long-time friends Airto Moreira and Flora Purimas producers, Hermeto opts for a collective approach.<\/p>\n

There are many delights here; the baroque bossa of “Little Cry For Him” offers abig grin of carnival happiness, with speedy, high-pitched keyboards and flute engaging in mad child-like runs.<\/p>\n

3. Milton Nascimento – Travessia<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n

One of our favorite brazilian singers. He is from Minas Gerais (as Pedro) and his music reminds a lot of our childhood feelings. This song was recorded for many great singers like Elis Regina and Bjork. Milton is also one of the responsibles for a important movement in brasilian music in the 70\u2019s called \u201cClube da esquina”<\/p>\n

4. \u00c9rica – Nocrywave (2017)<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n

Our beloved \u00c9rica is one of the most influence women on this live\/DJ scene in s\u00e3o paulo. She is acting in many pillars of art like music, video, dance and one of the most important works she does is probably the synth workshops especially for women and trans. She is a one of the great responsible for women visibility one the electronic music in brasil and she is always pushing a lot of women\u2019s and new people on the scene and also representing with amazing live sets and DJ as well. we worked together a lot with name \u201cThe Drone Lovers\u201d and also in her first cassette album \u201cTo Belive\u201d (2013)<\/p>\n

5. MC Carol – Meu namorado \u00e9 maior ot\u00e1rio<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n

For Pedro, MC Carol is one of his favorite artist, from a very peculiar genre in brazil: Funk carioca. There\u2019s a few kinds of different funk approaches. this track is more like a modern one produced in brazil and been really appreciated by pop producers in the world. Many people from techno scene dislike funk, but I really love it, specially the cheapest productions from favelas home studios. It\u2019s the typical sounds from the famous \u201cbaile funks\u201d that happens in the most of favelas in brazil, specially rio de janeiro. It represents a lot of people from our country and I really appreciate it.<\/p>\n

6. Airto Moreira – Peasant Dance (1974)<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n

The Middle Eastern flavor of some of the melodies, Moreira and wife Flora Purim’s unique vocalizar\u00edons, and the use of unusual instrumentation on several cuts help make this recording a unique highlight of the electric fusion era. Airto is a percussion master and played alongside many important jazz artists such as miles davis and Hermeto Pascoal. This album was produced by the amazing Billy Cobham.<\/p>\n

7. Maria Rita – Cantigo Brasileiro no.3 (Kamaiur\u00e1)<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n

Maria Rita Stumpf has been on top of collectors’ and music lovers’ wishlist for the past couple of years, since “C\u00e2ntico Brasileiro No 3 (Kamaiur\u00e1)” broke out and cast a spell worldwide \u2013 from Japan to Brazil, from Norway to South Africa, everybody was flabbergasted after they first heard the song, and each and every time they heard it again.<\/p>\n

Maria Rita Stumpf is owner of Brazilian production company Antares Produ\u00e7\u00f5es, responsible for bringing international artists to Brazil for the past 30 years, such as Philip Glass and Mikhail Baryshnikov. After distancing herself from the music business since the Brasileira original release, almost 30 years ago, she\u2019s now back in the game.
\nHey <\/p>\n

Brazilian duo Selvagem partners up with Optimo Music have made an reissue of this amazing and rare records recently as their first release as label!<\/p>\n

8. Jards Macale – Farinha Do Desprezo<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n

A weird bossa nova style for the carioca ones. Jards Macale is one of my favorite composers and made songs for many Brazilian Singers<\/p>\n

9. Teto Preto – Gasolina (2016)<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n

It’s about the contemporary political scene in Brazil… <\/p>\n

10. Jocy de Oliveira – Solaris (1988)<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
