Baiano & Os Novos Caetanos – Baiano & Os Novos Caetanos LP

Description

Far Out Recordings present a reissue ofBaiano & Os Novos Caetanos‘s self-titled album, originally released in 1974. Baiano & Os Novos Caetanos was a band formed by prolific and multi-talented Brazilian comediansChico AnysioandArnaud Rodrigues. Satirizing Brazil’s tropicalia movement in the 1970s, the duo took a friendly crack at the likes ofCaetano Velosoand psychedelic rockersNovos Baianos, with their righteous tropicalista alter-egos “Baiano” and “Paulinho Boca de Profeta” poetically denouncing the dictatorship while simultaneously mocking those who took themselves too seriously. Jazz funk legendsAzymuthplay backing band with keyboard maestroJose Roberto Bertramialso responsible for the arrangements on the album. Azymuth’s free and funky psych sounds combine with accordion, harmonica, brass, and plenty of rural Brazilian rhythms, for a hugely varied album drawing on MPB, funk, and soulful samba rock. The album also featuresOrlandivowho co-wrote many of the songs, and renowned multi-instrumentalist and producerDurval Ferreira. 180 gram vinyl.
