Listening
to
this
remarkable
album
for
the
first
time
you’ll
surely
be
struck
first
by
the
deep,
soul-piercing
voice
of
that
great
Brazilian
singer,
Seu
Jorge.
Yes:
he’s
a
singer
first
and
foremost.
Many
may
know
him
as
an
actor
for
his
screen-
stealing
performances
in
the
likes
of
Wes
Anderson’s
The
Life
Aquatic
and
Fernando
Meirelles’
City
Of
God
but
Seu
has
known
since
he
was
a
child
that
we
was
destined
to
sing.
He’s
a
Brazilian
singer
who
speaks
the
truth
through
samba,
to
paraphrase
a
well-known
Seu
Jorge
quote.
But
this
project
is
about
a
band:
Almaz.
Drummer
Pupillo
and
guitarist
Lucio
Maia
from
the
stalwart
Nação
Zumbi;
bassist
and
composer
Antonio
Pinto
from
the
soundstages
of
movies
starring
Seu
Jorge.
They
came
together
naturally
to
record
a
song
for
a
Walter
Salles
film;
they
enjoyed
the
experience
so
much
that
they
recorded
an
entire
album
of
music
that
inspired
them.
Songs
famous
within
the
Brazilian
diaspora
(Tim
Maia,
Jorge
Ben)
mesh
with
classic
American
(Roy
Ayers,
Michael
Jackson)
and
European
(Kraftwerk,
Cane
and
Abel)
soul
songs
begging
for
a
bit
of
psychedelic
samba.
They
enlisted
producer
and
fellow
Brazileiro
Mario
C.
(Beastie
Boys,
Jack
Johnson)
to
put
the
finishing
touches
on
the
project.
Their
album
is
both
warm
and
dark;
psychedelic
and
yet
grounded,
uplifting
but
at
times
somber.
To
listen
to
it
is
to
join
them
in
the
studio,
where
the
only
bandleader
is
the
music
and
the
only
agenda
is
to
follow
your
heart.
“No
nation
is
currently
hotter
than
Brazil
when
it
comes
to
cinema
and
music.
And
currently,
no
Brazillian
artist
is
attracting
more
heat
than
Seu
Jorge”
