What are you listening to?

For whatever reason Aba Incieni brought it up and this track has been running through my head.

Warning: very heavy w/ disturbing images.... Caetano Veloso / Gilberto Gil "Haiti"



Pense no Haiti
Reze pelo Haiti
O Haiti é aqui
O Haiti não é aqui

Think of Haïti; pray for Haïti;
Haiti is here; Haiti is not here...​
 
ChoroBop: "Vou Vivendo" (I'm Alive)




Choro
(or chorinho in the diminutive) is a distinctly Brazilian style developed in the late 19th century contemporary with ragtime in the US and sharing aspects such as complex syncopation and a typical AA-BB-AA-CC-AA theme form. Generally a small group with melody played on mandolin or flute, a seven-string guitar (extra bass) for running deep counterpoint arpeggios and light percussion. Very very emotive and very Portuguese in its wistful melodic sensibility.
