Synopsis

Product Description
Márcio Local stands at the crossroads of two great traditions in modern
Brazilian music, with one foot in samba, the heavily percussive Afro-Brazilian dance music and the other in soul, the African American music rooted in the blues which attracted a mass audience in Brazil in the 1960s and 1970s. Once regarded as a faddish import, soul music has been effectively Brazilianized such that it now constitutes a local tradition in big cities like São Paulo and Márcio s home town of Rio de Janeiro. Márcio has also discovered ways to combine these two traditions to forge new variations of samba-soul by
exploring the ever-expanding modern soundscape of Rio. He is also omething
of a sensual romantic who makes music thinking about lazy Saturday
afternoons at the beach, a game of soccer, the drama of sexual seduction, and the bustle of the urban scene. In this way, he belongs to another tradition in Brazilian music that celebrates the pleasures of everyday life and the redemptive power of a catchy tune. These songs celebrate a Rio de Janeiro steeped in Afro-Brazilian traditions, yet constantly devouring and reinventing new sounds and styles. With Márcio Local Says, ''Don Day Don Dree Don Don'': Adventures in Samba Soul, Márcio Local takes the stage as an inspired innovator of the samba soul tradition. In own words, his music offers ''a mixture of Jorge Benjor, Seu Jorge, Banda Black Rio, Wilson Simonal, but model 2008, 4x4 and turbocharged.'' The album was produced by Mario Caldato, Jr. (of Beastie Boys fame).

An Adventure
R. Caverly | Downingtown, Pa. United States | 12/12/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Don Day Don is a really great album. The funk influence, combined with samba rhythms and sound, add up to one hell of an experience. It's impossible not to feel this down to your shoes.



I first heard about this album on NPR's Weekend Edition, and I was immediately impressed. This is well worth the purchase."
