 ÌýÌýListen (4'48) to 'Viva A Povo Brasileiro' from Pedro Martin’s band, Bazeado, taken from their album Requebra Nega (Mr Bongo MRBCD 20).
ÌýÌýListen (00'55) to Pedro Martins talk about his music.
A favourite song:
The title translates as Long Life To The Brazilian People and it’s about a party in Brazil on a Sunday afternoon. It’s the kind of Brazilian party where people are playing music in the living room, playing music in the kitchen and playing music in the garden. They’re all playing something different - in Brazil when people start making music in the kitchen they start playing the pots and pans! So if you stand in the middle you hear lots of different sounds. And I use lots of different sounds in the songs.
The cavaquinho is a little guitar used with percussive instruments and there’s a little bit of that in there and at the end there’s some accordion which is an instrument normally associated with foro music from North East Brazil. I can’t play accordion and couldn’t find anyone in Brighton that could so I programmed four different keyboards to make the sound of an accordion and used that! At the beginning of the song I sing, 'Tell me baby, is the party good? I’ve been dancing for seven days'. Then I sing about spicy food and say keep the music spicy too!
My album’s title Requebra Nega is the name you give to someone who dances samba well, it’s a real compliment. My friends in Brazil like the album. They say the album’s a mix of Brazil and London. I tell them, 'No, it’s a mix of Brazil and Brighton'.
