Rita Figueiredo - Brasilis - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Maria Rita is a musical pioneer that was ahead of her time. On first hearing her song, 'Cântico Brasileiro No.3 (Kamaiurá)', we thought it sounded like a contemporary remix that an artist such as Carl Craig could have produced. In fact, it came out in 1988 and was taken from Maria's 'Brasileira' album, released on the Brazilian, independent Acorde imprint. The song would go on to gain cult status with it's inclusion on John Gomez's superb 'Outro Tempo' compilation, released on the Music From Memory tag in 2017.This cult classic fuses new-age electronics with indigenous vocals and Amazonian rhythms. It is beautiful and unique and takes you on a journey through different moods, textures and ethereal planes. Through the sounds Maria created, you join her on a timeless voyage gazing into the future whilst embracing her powerful roots.

Bearing an immediate resemblance to Marc Bolan and David Bowie, deeper listening rewards the listener with a much broader musical universe. Self-taught on guitar, drums, bass, piano, synth, and other studio tools, Vandervelde is an adventurous artist, one who embraces classic rock songwriting and whose spirit is just banging at the door to get unleashed. Music to party and make love to is back.
