For fans of: Sessa, Caetano Veloso, Alabaster DePlume, Bala Desejo ******************************************************************************* PRE-ORDER THE FULL ALBUM / VINYL VIA THIS LINK momodot.bandcamp.com/album/gira ******************************************************************************* One of the recent generation of artists influenced by the Brazilian classics, from 1970s tropicália, Os Mutantes and Milton Nascimento, is MOMO. who has brought together a community of musicians and guests from London’s bustling and hustling jazz scene The delicious album opener and second single is Pa​ra and features the spacey, soulful jazz-grooves of keyboard player Jessica Lauren Brazilian born, London resident MOMO. will release his 7th album Gira, on Batov Records this October. Fun is a hallmark of Gira. "You come, you play, we have fun," MOMO. told his collaborators. You can hear it so clearly on that simmering opener Pára - the original is 8 minutes, with a radio version included. MOMO.’s vocal refrain is like a tasty morsel, Jessica Lauren's keyboard vamp takes root and Tamar Osborn's resonant baritone sax echoes Ronnie Cuber’s trademark work for Eddie Palmieri on Harlem River Drive. Gira is MOMO.’s seventh album yet his first recorded in London. After a musical odyssey that took him from his home of Rio de Janeiro to Angola, Michigan, Chicago, Spain and Lisbon, MOMO. now calls London his home, where he lives with his young family, and whose creative spirit has inspired him for the last three years. Unsurprisingly, therefore, the new album marks a real departure. His debut from 2006, A Estética do Rabisco was named one of the best albums of the year by the Chicago Reader and set Marcelo’s musical path in motion. His singer-songwriting talents have already earned him plaudits from royalty like Patti Smith and David Byrne and he was invited to participate in A Tribute to Caetano to mark the 70th birthday of Brazilian musical legend, Caetano Veloso. In recruiting his new London friends as collaborators, MOMO. rekindled the fun and feel of his earliest recordings in Rio, when he would invite people over to his studio and "just see what happened." And the best way to capture such spontaneous energy was to record Gira live. In this case, at London’s Total Refreshment Centre, a creative hub that is also a concert space, artist workshop and studio which has become a beacon for jazz music since its ‘warehouse’ inception in 2012 by promoter Lex Blondin. While previous albums have always started with guitar and voice, Gira begins with the groove – yet succeeds sublimely in balancing this new emphasis on spontaneous improvisation and songwriting. “Life brought me to London and I think I’ve made my lightest album; it could only have been created here." When Brazil meets London, you can't help but move to the groove. credits released September 11, 2014 Marcelo Frota: voice, guitar, synth Jessica Lauren: keyboards Caetano Malta: bass Nick Woodmansey: drums Magnus Mehta: percussion Francesca Ter-Berg: cello Tamar Osborn: saxophone Kika: voice Recorded by Kristian Craig Robinson at Total Refreshment Centre and Marcelo Frota at Prah Foundation and Total Refreshment Centre Mixed by Collin Dupuis Produced by Marcelo Frota Mastered by Chris Longwood #batovrecords #brazilianmusic
