Roberta Sá: Quando o Canto É Reza (2015)
ኃይለየሱስ ፈይሳ [Haileyesus Feyssa]: ፍቅር ተወደደ [Fikir Tewedede]
cool surprise change in timefeel in the beginning; multiple beats/rhythms simultaneously
Virginia Rodrigues: Vá Cuidar de Sua Vida
sweet melody and lyrics with references to capoeira and candomblé
boom bap
Louis Cole: Outer Moat Behavior
seems like the same material repeats for almost two minutes, but still interesting; cool "rising" sensation in the bass with these complex chord changes in the background
childlike silliness, playful but not superficial
Rara in Haiti / Gaga in the Dominican Republic (1978)
generally explosive.
Brad Mehldau: Jacob's Ladder (2022)
unexpected wacky, out, prog rock. Pedro Martins' voice on Vou correndo te encontrar / Racecar.
Filó Machado, Cibele Codonho: Correnteza
wicked chord substitutions. my version was based on a recording by Joyce and Toninho Horta.
Filó Machado, Gennoshin: Dinorah Dinorah
such a simple short rhythmic refrain, yet satisfying to repeat a hundred times in the same song
Nadah El Shazly: Claustrophobic Love
simple noisy cello over a haunting eerie harp with ethereal effects
groovy; not used to hearing jazz solos in house tracks
Rafael De Lemba: Ingazeira o Ingá
capoeira variations with blue notes, adding fire through singing
Sounds like Stevie Wonder singing Brazilian Portuguese.
trippy guitar harmonies, beautiful amalgamation of references to indigenous words and culture
clown core: Diarrhea Inferno Welfare Burrito
gradual voice-leading and suspensions with fast-paced drumming
wild creepy sensory overload
Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.
