Product Description
CD Description
Comfusões takes Angolan Pop music from the 1960s and 70s, famous songs by legendary singers like Teta Lando, Artur Nunes or Bonga, across the ocean, to Brazil’s most exciting producers of today. The result is a collection of fresh remixes, and a unique convergence of Angolan and Brazilian musical culture that has more in common than just the Portuguese language. The title of this compilation is a play with words, meaning either "confusions" or "with fusions". Comfusões is a meeting and mingling of two cultures with a shared language (Portuguese) and a somewhat related, yet different history. It is not about conserving culture. It is about continuing a story of exchange that started long ago when the first Africans were forcibly brought to Brazil and over time helped to create a vibrant music that has touched people throughout the world. Tracks: Angolé – Teta Lando remix by Maurício Pacheco / Tia – Artur Nunes remix by Mario Caldato jr / Mama Divua Diame – Avozinho remix by Maurício Pacheco / Kapakiao – Bonga remix by Kassin & Berna Ceppas / Nzambi Nzambi – Carlos Lamartine remix by Rica Amabis / Mãe – Wyza remix by Maurício Pacheco & Berna Ceppas / Kuale N’go Valodo – Carlos Lamartine remix by Maurício Pacheco & MPC (Digital Dubs) / Chofer de Praça – Luis Visconde & Alvarito remix Maurício Pacheco / Merengue Rebita – Paulinho Pinheiro remix by Dj Dolores / Kappopola Makongo - Ciros Cordeiro Da Mata remix by Moreno Veloso / Cada Cidadão Deve Sentir-se Um Soldado – Kissanguela remix by Maurício Pacheco / Zom Zom - Elias diá Kimuezo remix Maurício Pacheco & Dj Cris

Comfusoes - from Angola to Brasil
The sound of summer - what a cracking album with some top tracks. Mauricio Pacheco is certainly a talented producer. The album opens with my favourite track `Angole' originally from Teta Lando, it's a track for rolling, and cruising down the street in the sunshine with a spring in your step. It opens with a nice little riff, then the deep base drum kicks in, and the soulful lyrics lift it somewhere else. I found myself singing along, for Angola, it's a bright soulful start.
As the album progresses you'll get to understand the albums' title `Comfusoes' - `confusions', or with fusions. There is a true range of lovely songs, as `Tia', Artur Nunes, the second track takes things deeper before exploring some dub styling and the beautiful moving voice of Carlos Lamartine exuding the melancholic emotion of Portuguese Fado, all the while blended with a sensual rhythm that is so enticing and quite addictive.
<strong><em>Some great memories of Brazil were evoked for me
</em></strong>
This album will make you move, in so many different ways - tracks like `Angole' will have you bouncing. `Mama Divva Diame'- Avozinho, will have you rocking, and swaying, and all the while with a serene smile on your face. `Chofer de Praca'- Luis Visconde Alvarito, will have you jumping fist in the air. It's a real club banger, and a killer track. I can't wait to see the reaction on the dancefloor when this track is dropped... I predict some wild reactions. And I have to mention `Cada Cidadao deve Sentir - Se Um Soldado' by Kissanguela. As a Hip Hop head, I loved this track, nod your head, feel the vibe, and appreciate the lyrics. Some great memories of Brazil were evoked for me.
This is no cliched Samba infused album that one may expect when mentioning Brazil. Listen with open ears and you'll hear Brazil, the sunshine, smiles, and movement were all brought back to me. It's a great merger, Angola and Brazil move together in rhythm and soul. Melstar.

Sort of dubbey, but so much more than that, real fusion of sounds but retaining all the glory of the actual instruments and voices, really dancey, punchy beats, not keen on track 3 coz of the bells but the rest are excellent.
