Before we hear the funky B-Side we have to listen to the sound of brasil music which is very close to the poetic language and its rhythm. With Luiza Maniquim we even got a delicacy from Portugal.
The Trip
Música Popular Brasileira
Música Popular Brasileira (MPB) is the name given today to popular music from Brazil, whereby “pop” can actually be equated with “popular”. The connection to traditional Brazilian music is an important defining feature, although foreign styles such as rock or reggae are also integrated in various currents. For Brazilians, MPB is “nossa música”, “our music”, and is closely linked to their cultural and national self-image. Música Popular Brasileira is heard across all age and social classes.
Os Artistas
Brilhantina – Renata Rosa
The newest but beatiful track on the mix. Renata Rosa grasps the mystic universe within the traditional chants from Brazil’s Northeast, highlighting the less regarded feminine influences of the outback’s popular culture.

Carolina, Carol Bela – Toquinho
Born in São Paulo, Toquinho is probably the most famous Brazilian guitarist of all times. In 1969 he went to Italy with his friend Chico Buarque and toured all over the country. But his greatest success began one year later when he joined singer Vinicius De Moraes, with whom he recorded dozens of records throughout the 1970s.
Disritmia – Martinho Da Vila
Composer who is considered to be one of the main representatives of samba and MPB. He is a prolific songwriter, with hundreds of recorded songs across over 40 solo albums. One of my favorite brazilian Songs “Distritimia” is on “Canta Canta, Minha Gente” from 1973.
I want to be exorcised by the holy water of that endless look.
Disritmia, Martinho Da Vila
How nice it is to be photographed but by the retinas of those beautiful eyes…
