A good selection of Brazilian Music With Thiago Medici

August Footsteps smells Autumn on the horizon. The mood is one of reflection, the songs play out accordingly. In all of them there is sorrow, freedom, fear, and fury. Who the hell makes those missiles? Some technical difficulties were prominent during the last twenty minutes of this – notably, the left jog wheel and microphones stopped working completely. All my apologies.

Songs for every day of the week. Made in: Palestine, Tyneside, Lewisham, Sweden and elsewhere. Made with: drones, guitars, and drum machines. Voilà.

The sun is out (somewhere) and the nights are still long, and time to shift down the tempo to the Brazilian rhythm of Bossa Nova - Made In Japan. Outside of Japan, Brazil has the largest Japanese population of any other country, and though their relationship has a peculiar past, there has always been a love for the Brazilian sound. The sensual heartbeat of bossa may chime with an ancestral memory of Japanese folk music (minyo) which often has a slow walking type rhythm. Or the mood and chords of saudade could remind the Japanese listener of fado (Portugal having a longer history with the archipelago). Whatever the reason, it's a comfortable fit, and there are endless renditions of the bossa sound, with a splash of kayoukyoku umami.
