Rio, Brazil
I lost track of time, but I ended up meeting you here. Where? At our favorite dive-bar (what we call the boteco). This is where ideas flow. It's the place where Ricardo Imperatore's new album, "boTECOeletro Volume 2" comes from. Improbability guides this project, where the master of ceremonies, one of the greatest Brazilian writers of all time, João Ubaldo Ribeiro, is an ex-drinker, but no less a "botequeiro" Everything and everyone will eventually come together and rub elbows at the boteco. Ideas and light spring from this friction and contact. To prove it all comes from the same source, check out the ciranda-carimbó propellerhead-ized "Copacabana Love & War." Or, "Carimbó Sirimbó Curió," which unites the mangue beat of Chico Science with the master of Carimbó, Pinduca, in single organic groove. And, if the Judgement Day is coming, it'll be in the form of "Juízo Final," with the master of samba, Nelson Cavaquinho, filtered and distorted dubwise on top of beats by Sly Dunbar.
