Same / NOT CHANGING

After living in this country for 20 years, and being an [‘independent’] foreign artist from South America who happens to circulate without being really allowed to ‘circulate’ in many British/or European sonic & art [falsely autonomous, independent, DIY] environments, that is, an artist without LOCATION since day ZERO, and therefore with no licence whatsoever to walk through spheres primarily destined to 1- those born and bred in the UK, 2-  those producing the customary blue-eyed pop (independent, DIY or not], 3 - those without an ‘accent’, 4 - those who hold ‘the etiquette’ to be in such industry, 5 those who have the strong backing of record labels and PRs to engage in the most boring and unpoetically forms of promotion, those frequently in accordance to the usual grammar of an eternal patriarchal music/art scene and industry. I must tell you, after a certain point - in my case the last 30 years - you can’t just let the same ever-patronising speech of so many summers ago reach you again and again, or the eternal guidelines for etiquette, or the whiteness & sexless professorial arrogance of millennial music critics who patronizingly still think they can teach you a lesson. You might first learn how to dance, learn how to scream.

Moralismo Branco espalhado

O grau de burrice, mal gosto e moralismo branco - aquele que atinge todas as 'raças', 'classes' e 'gêneros' e sexos é nauseante. Bota na cara, bota na boca, bota onde quiser.

NO MEIO DESSAS BANANAS

Meanwhile in 1978 ... Tropical Melancholia at its best & one of the most beautiful songs ever written.

My muscles are few to this network of intrigues.

I've got hoarse bowels in a rosary of roundworms

NO MEIO DESSAS BANANAS

OS MEUS ÓDIOS E OS MEUS MEDOS 

TENHO SÉCULOS DE ESPERA

NAS CONTAS DAS MINHAS COSTELAS

Between hymns and chicanas / between teeth, between fingers.

NO MEIO DESSAS BANANAS

OS MEUS ÓDIOS E OS MEUS MEDOS 

SO WHAT?

AND?

E DAÍ?

********************

Uncorrupted Tropical Wave (1984-2011) is a compilation of tropically unconventional Brazilian music produced exclusively by DIY recording artists from several parts of Brazil - featuring unobvious tracks by Duplexx, Satanique Samba Trio, Tetine, Shiva Las Vegas, Objeto Amarelo, Karine Alexandrino, Mueptemo, W, Divergencia Socialista & O Grito Mudo.

Borne out of the Slum Dunk radio sessions - the weekly radio program hosted by Eliete Mejorado & Bruno Verner aired on Resonance Fm 104.4 in London from 2002 to 2008 - Uncorrupted Tropical Wave (1984-2011) gives continuity to releases such as Slum Dunk Presents Funk Carioca (Mr Bongo 2004) & The Sexual Life of The Savages - Underground Post Punk from Sao Paulo, (Soul Jazz Records 2005) breakthrough albums curated by Tetine

Based on a specific scene of overlooked Brazilian artists who have continuously produced music independently for a number of years around the cities of Sao Paulo, Fortaleza, Belo Horizonte, Rio de Janeiro & Brasilia, as well as, artists who have at some point worked together on music collaborations or art projects, the album brings an unusual mix of early tropical post punk, baile funk, post-samba, electronica, experimental drum machine pop, lo-fi, spoken word, new wave & ambient pieces, written between 1984-2011 and mostly self-released locally from cassette tapes to CDs and white labels.

It comes with 17 hard-to-find tracks written by local musicians, poets, artists & writers who kept their music identity intact along the years.

Uncorrupted Tropical Wave(1984-2011) is a fresh sample of the uncorrupted, politically inventive, naïve, dissent and unforced anti-mainstream sound actions that took place in the country as opposed to Brazil’s now well-known mainstream pop or the usual clichés made-for-export. Dig it & you'll find great music to your ears!
