Revisitar um clássico é sempre uma decisão corajosa, principalmente quando se trata de uma música tão célebre quanto sua autora e sua principal intérprete. Pois DJ Tahira se aventurou numa inspirada releitura de Alô Alô Marciano, com a benção de Rita Lee e Elis Regina. Juntos nessa missão estão o músico e produtor Mateus Romero e a cantora e compositora Emília Carmona no primeiro feat de Tahira com protagonistas da cena de Floripa, onde o DJ paulistano fixou morada. A faixa tem perfume Boogaloo diretamente dos guetos de Nova York dos anos 1960, palco da força e resistência dos imigrantes latinos e sua riqueza cultural e artística. A nova versão celebra a canção da revolucionária Rita Lee adicionando um groove vibrante e hipnótico para encantamento das pistas de dança em todo o mundo.

Embala Eu. Belíssimo samba de roda de Albaléria em homenagem à Mãe Menininha do Gantois. Nas vozes, esse encontro poderosíssimo das entidades Clementina de Jesus e Clara Nunes. Fiz uma versão que leva esse classico lá pra Pernambuco.. na Ilha de Itamaracá. Mais precisamente em um loop da Lia de Itamaracá... a rainha da Ciranda. Samba + Ciranda combina bem e até dá vontade de abrir uma roda.... só nao sei se é de Ciranda ou de Samba. Espero que gostem :) Obrigado Felipe Julian pelos conselhos tecnicos e Thiago Duar pela guitarra.
Its a incredible song from this incredible contemporany artist. Check her album: Um Corpo No Mundo. It worth every minute. A lot of afro brazilian influences on it. My version brings therhythm called Maculele. Its a style and dance that exist since slave times. And it has a strong link with Capoeira. And this percussion is heavy used in Baile Funk music.
Dessa vez eu faço uma versão da BAnho do Folhas da incrivel Lueji Luna. Usei percussões do Maculele baiano. Estilo que o Funk Carioca usa muito. O Maculele tem suas raizes na época dos escravos e é uma dança e música que é muito ligada a Capoeira.

Artist: Oribata/Banda De Pfianos De Caruaru Title: “Batuki/Cavalinho Cavalao” Label: Tiff‘s Joints Release Date: November 2016 Cat. #: TJ001 Format: 12” (300) & digital
Tiff’s Joints launches into the ether with its first release in the form of two modern Afro-Brazilian heaters. The A side comes from Sao Paulo’s Oribata, consisting of DJ Tahira and Fernando TRZ. DJ Tahira has been a driving force on the Brazilian music scene for a number of years, his groove-led edits and reworks of various Afro-Brazilian tracks clocking plays from the likes of Gilles Peterson, Francois K, Nightmares on Wax and a host of other international tastemakers.
He has spent the past few years researching and immersing himself in traditional Afro-Brazilian music and culture which shines through on “Batuki”, a rolling dancefloor shaker, driven by a sturdy bass line and Tahira’s trademark percussion, peppered with some painfully funky chords.
Fernando TRZ is a prolific composer, arranger, producer and keyboard player on the Sao Paulo circuit. Mainly known for his Lavoura and TRZ Trio projects, Fernando has received praise from the likes of Marc De Clive-Lowe and the king of Brazilian keys himself, Eumir Deodato.
The B side is a licensed Tahira edit of Banda De Pifanos De Caruaru’s “Cavalinho Cavalao”. Originally formed in 1924 in Alagoas, Northeastern Brazil, Banda De Pifanos De Caruaru are one of the most important traditional Afro-Brazilian groups of all time. Tahira works the whirling flutes and galloping drums of “Cavalinho Cavalao” into a full on frenzy, bringing the forró classic into the 21st century
