Light As A Feather is a superb introduction
to the many talents of the Brazilian band which accompanied
Flora Purim on her critically acclaimed 1978 American tour.
It was Purim's assertion that Azymuth was the best group in
Brazil today that gained United States exposure for the group
in their own right. A textural delight, Light As A Feather
features a seemingly endless variety of exotic percussion
devices tastefully blended together with the uniquely spiced
outpourings of Bertrami's synthesizers.

Throughout Outubro, the musicians travel
a fine line between technical innovation and the acoustic
fury of their Brazilian heritage. Each member of this multi-faceted
trio plays a vast array of South American percussion instruments
with passion and precision. Synthesizers, vocoders, guitars,
and electric bass add fuel to the fire, making it virtually
impossible to sit still while listening to the recording.
This music is irresistible; it makes you want to get up and
dance.

Popular Brazilian music made in Berlin: The singer Anastácia
found her way from north eastern Brazil to north eastern Germany
a number of years ago. In the meanwhile she has added quite
a few new facets to her repertoire. Anastácia combines
exciting rhythms from north Brazil such as Baião, Maracatu
and Forró with contemporary elements from funk, jazz
and pop. The result is an aromatic tropical blend - as bracing
as a strong black coffee. A fresh wind blowing in from Brazil |
