Although Erasmo Carlos was never formally part of the Tropicália movement, this record places him in direct conversation with many of its most important musicians, arrangers and songwriters, producing one of the boldest and most exploratory albums of his career.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sessions were produced by Tropicália veteran \u003cstrong\u003eManoel Barenbein\u003c\/strong\u003e, with arrangements by \u003cstrong\u003eRogério Duprat\u003c\/strong\u003e. The musicians include Os Mutantes members Sérgio Dias, Dinho Leme and Liminha, alongside the extraordinary psychedelic guitarist \u003cstrong\u003eLanny Gordin\u003c\/strong\u003e. That line-up gives the record much of its restless character: distorted guitars, eccentric arrangements, Brazilian grooves and adventurous studio choices constantly push the songs away from conventional pop structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe songwriting is equally remarkable. Erasmo’s long-running partnership with Roberto Carlos sits alongside compositions by \u003cstrong\u003eCaetano Veloso\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eJorge Ben\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eMarcos Valle\u003c\/strong\u003e. The album opens with Veloso’s “De Noite na Cama”, written especially for Erasmo, and moves through the provocative “Maria Joana”, Marcos Valle’s “26 Anos de Vida Normal”, “Sodoma e Gomorra”, “Ciça, Cecília” and “Masculino, Feminino”. The result can be raw and hard-rocking one moment, intimate or soulful the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore than a psychedelic diversion, \u003cem\u003eCarlos, Erasmo...\u003c\/em\u003e is a meeting point for some of the most creative currents in early-1970s Brazilian popular music. This Vampisoul pressing presents the complete thirteen-track album on \u003cstrong\u003e180g vinyl\u003c\/strong\u003e, restoring a record whose mixture of counterculture, Tropicalia experimentation and pop songwriting remains strikingly distinctive.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vampisoul","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58729363472758,"sku":"VAMPI350","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/6450\/6005\/files\/VAMPI350.jpg?v=1789495137","url":"https:\/\/www.stickyblacktarmac.com\/products\/erasmo-carlos-carlos-erasmo","provider":"Sticky Black Tarmac","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
