Podcast: Switchstance Radio Brazil Music Special (December 2022)

PodcastsSwitchstance Radio

This year for the very first time Switchstance Recordings label head Tom Strauch created a 2 hours special on contemporary music from Brazil. After witnessing his first live samba during WOMEX 2022 in Lisboa and having many Brazilian musicians as his friends these guys convinced Tom to do a special on their home country’s music. The show was recorded on the 23rd of December 2022.

Africa and i’s music, the different rhythms and cultures had a huge influence on Brazilian music. Of course this was a result from more than 3 million slaves that were deported from Africa to Brazil. Those massive percussion rhythms, the feeling for a groove and the beautiful guitar melodies are just outstanding and make the music from Brazil really unique. Modern music styles like reggae and hip-hop are also big in Brazil. And even if you don’t speak the language (like Tom) it just grooves nicely with the rhythms. So doing a special about Brazilian music was a must.

Here we are now with the 2 hours special about the music from Brazil. Enjoy!
