Search - Aleuda :: Oferenda

Teaming up with her old friend Hermeto "the wizard" Pascoal Aleuda has produced this celebratory album, 'Oferenda' evoking the atmosphere of Bahia and the North East of Brazil. On 'Oferenda' Aleuda and Hermeto produce a timeless homage to the Nordeste (north east) of Brazil. It is a celebratory offering and the mood is reflected in the title of the album. The album has the inventiveness and spirituality of a Sun Ra composition. Improvised jazz is combined with samba to a wild and enchanting effect. Aleuda's clear vocals carry the melody over the ever-changing musical backdrop, evoking the luscious vitality of the forests and jungles as well as the rich mix of the religions and folklores of North Eastern Brazil. For this release there are also 2 specially commissioned remix tracks in the same spirit of innovativeness and experimentalism of the original from production duo APE, and Kirk Degiorgio.
