piri / voces querem mate? (CD盤)
エグベルト・ジスモンチとの共演でも知られる、ブラジリアン・シンガー・ソング・ライターPiriことPiry Reis(ピリー・ヘイス)による、ブラジル音楽ファン垂涎の一枚が再発!!! 名手達と繰り広げる張りのあるブラジリアン・ジャズ/ボッサは、当時のサイケデリック・シーンの空気感をたっぷりと吸い込んだムードをプンプン発しています! Voces Querem Mate?, the first recording by the relatively unknown singer songwriter Piry Reis is dreamy and ethereal, groovy Brazilian psych-folk at its finest. Reis has collaborated with greats like Egberto Gismonti and Robertinho Silva, and had his music performed by Celia, Charlie Haden and Jan Garbarek. His four solo albums are all rare as hens' teeth and have been known to fetch a hefty bounty, but none higher than his debut, and for good reason. Instantly captivating from its first second, the lone trembling piano in 'Reza Breva' builds a tremendous tension before bursting into the joyously funky Tropicalista folk jam that keeps up throughout the album. Flying the Brazilian freak flag high are percussion kings Juquina and Wilson Das Neves along with Paulinho Jobim and Danilo Caymmi on flutes. It's a dazzling, lucid piece of escapism, as relevant today as it was when released into the tumultuous political climate of 1970s Brazil. Tracks like 'As Incriveis Peripecias De Danilo' and 'Cupido Esculpido' are tripped out MPB, and more sombre moments like 'Sombra Morta' and closer 'Chao Vermelho' offer shadier melancholic contrasts. Without a doubt the most free-spirited release in the Quartin catalogue, Voces Querem Mate? is a forgotten treasure of Brazilian music like no other. All the releases in the Quartin series have been re-mastered from the original 2" tapes, and pressed to high quality heavyweight vinyl. Still to come from Far Out's reissuing of the catalogue are Victor Assis Brasil's Esperanto, and another Jose Mauro release A Viagem Des Horas. (FAR OUT RECORDINGS) 1. REZA BRAVA 2.
