Nomade Orquestra – EntreMundos // Die Musik für den Sommer !!!
Eigentlich bin ich am Cover hängen geblieben, das ist einfach Klasse ! Aber die Musik ist es auch … Genau das, was ich im Sommer hören möchte ! Brasilianischer Groove, coole Bläsersätze, geile Gitarren. Zum Tanzen, für die Gartenparty oder um einfach mal die gute Laune zu unterstützen ! … Diesen Farbtupfer gönne ich mir auf meinen Blog ….
Nomade Orquestra are some the most accomplished musicians in their city. They’re also avid record collectors, citing the coming-together of their expansive musical knowledges as key to their unique sound. Album opener ‘Jardim de Zaira’ – a tribute to the neighbourhood on the outskirts of the famous ABC region, where the band meet and rehearse – hosts a playful unison of vibraphone, guitar, horns and keyboards reminiscent of Stereolab’s funkiest late ‘90s output. ‘Felag Mengu’ lies somewhere between the groovy, brooding ethio-jazz of Mulatu Astatke and Tinariwen’s hazy desert Rock, and ‘Olho do Tempo’ is another enchanting incarnation of the band’s impossible to define brand of global roots music. The album’s wildest moment comes from the roaring off-road, big-band joy-ride ‘Rinoceronte Blues’ with hill-billy harmonica, soulful organ stabs and soaring horn arrangements further highlighting the depths of Nomade Orquestra’s endless span of influences.
With Gilles Peterson singing their praise and rave reviews from the likes of Wax Poetics, Record Collector and Songlines, last year, Nomade Orquestra’s self-titled debut album launched them from humble beginnings to international recognition.
