Bixiga 70 Quebra Cabeça

Ce puzzle (Quebra Cabeça), patiemment construit par le big band Bixiga 70 prouve, tout au long des onze pièces qui le constituent, que la scène musicale de leur ville de São Paulo est l’une des plus chaudes de la planète. Les racines africaines des dix instrumentistes sont très présentes, l’afrobeat nigérian, le highlife ghanéen, les grands guitaristes maliens ou les rythmes malinkés les ont de toute évidence nourris.

São Paulo's acclaimed ten-piece instrumental collective return for their fourth album, Quebra Cabeça. Urban Afro-Brazilian grooves, empowered horn-driven melodicism, and massive dancefloor inspiration. One of South America's most exhilarating musical propositions. Almost four centuries after the first slave ships loaded their cargoes and set sail, the connection between Brazil and West Africa remains firm and deep. Africa is everywhere in Brazil, and it pulses through the music on Quebra Cabeça ("Puzzle"), Bixiga 70's second studio album for Glitterbeat, where two continents dance together across the black Atlantic.
