Mawaca makes the real world music in Brazil
12/26/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The Brazilian Popular Music, the MPB genre, is what is known in America as the world music from Brazil, but this is a wrong vision. The 'real World Music made in Brazil'is what Mawaca does, principally in the second CD 'astrolabio.tucupira.com.brasil' that blends all the influences from many different places like African, Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese, Arabian, Italian and many others. Mawaca is able to blend all those stuff in different and creative arrangements without necessarily being pop. Listen to 'astrolabio.tucupira.com.brasil'is the same of following the sun, then, you can understand better the itinerary made by the Portuguese people trying to find Indian spices. This is what Mawaca 'astrolabio.tucupira.com.brasil' CD offers to you in one hour of pure delight. It's not an easy CD to listen without paying attention, because there's a serious research inside each song, most of them ancestral melodies. But if you are in need of a 'only one style CD', forget about Mawaca music, because 'astrolabio' presents an interesting variety of styles and rhythms mixed in an unusual way, exploring all the sonorities of the vocal group and the instrumental set up (with bassoon, accordiom, violin, sax,cello, flute, vibraphone, marimba,caxixis, pandeiroes, djembes and tablas). Each song is a song...with its personality to be revealed...and this is Brazil, really."
