Arthur Verocai
(1972) Arthur Verocai / V0
"The liner notes describe the record as the Brazilian equivalent of Shuggie Otis' Inspiration Information, and while it's not off base, I think the musical versatility in Verocai's arrangements is more expansive. The album is as sweepingly cinematic as Milton Nascimento and Lo Borges' Clube de Esquina or Borges' self-titled record, but Verocai also travels a slightly different path often layering Latin grooves over deep doses of funk. There's a looser feel as he and his backing band experiment with extended horn, guitar and keyboard solos, light bits of spacey electronics, and a heavier influence of jazz." (othermusic)

António Victorino d'Almeida & Carlos Paredes
(1986) Invenções Livres / V0
"Friends for many years, many times we met together at the same shows, performing for the same audience… One day, António Vitorino d’Almeida suggested that we played together. Me, improvising my part and Vitorino d’Almeida improvising his. We did this several times refusing the previous choice of themes or sequences. We sought, above all, to reach the largest possible spontaneity…" Carlos Paredes
Lanaya
Soun Soun, La Tradition Mandingue (1998)
"Lanaya is an instrumental trio from Bamako, Mali. They play music rooted in a centuries old tradition, in which the stories and sagas of Mali are musically preserved. The musicians are part of a professional caste, the griots or jalis. From generation to generation the knowledge is passed on; they are the keepers of the culture.
All three Lanaya musicians are from one of the biggest and wellknown griot families, the Diabates... All in their early twenties, Lanaya is the new generation. Within their own culture, this is traditional music still in full development. Each generation adds their own specific style, interpretaion and arrangements. What stands out with Lanaya are their long, narrative improvisations and incredible virtuoso playing." - Terp Records
