Unesco Collection MUSICAL SOURCES: Aka Pygmy Music
Lots of polyphonic hockets. We are privileged as a species to have an opportunity to hear this—sound that comes from the earth by people who have a relationship with the land they live on.
Adam Neely, Kate Steinberg: Run Away With Me, reharmonized
Jazz and prog rock arrangement of Carly-Rae Jepsen’s Come away with me.
Samba De Fato: Eu Não Quero Saber
A song about moving on. The melody revisits me from time to time, and lately I find myself enjoying the lyrics. The first disc of the album has a bunch of other great tracks, worth a listen.
Body-shaker that is, as I understand, named after smelly fish.
Caetano Veloso: Ofertorio (live)
I’ve been learning to sing and play some songs on guitar from this album. Many feature a deceptive simplicity and create a diversity of feelings by re-using smaller parts. I feel somewhat ashamed that it took until my second trip to Brazil to know about this artist.
J Dilla Instrumentals Mix Vol 1
Hours and hours of J Dilla's hip-hop instrumentals. If you’re not familiar with Dilla beats, introduce yourself to the supreme sonic masterpiece that is Donuts.
Tigran Hamasyan: Revisiting the Film

The melodic style reminds me of Pedro Martins’ album from last week.
Kevin Seddiki: Cuban guitar groove
Treating the frets as a percussion instrument.

This has a backstory that for me underlines the importance of sharing outwards and encouraging vulnerability.

Don't preach to a choir, don't argue with a choir.
Also from Brazil: incredible funk beats (not the jazz kind but the Brazilian genre). Check out this mixtape with some dope dancing in a basketball court.
I’ve been getting into Pedro Martins lately. He’s actually from Brasilia. A genius guitarist and it seems like he definitely spent time with Toninho Horta’s work. His latest album is a celestial dream.
