MACUNAISMO TARDIO VOL 1 AND 2

Description

Vinícius Mendes - Macunaísmo Tardio Vol.1 and 2 In 2014, Vinícius released his first instrumental work at the Savassi Jazz Festival, and a year later, he recorded the album NAU - an intoxicating blend of free jazz and traditional Brazilian music, and a sort of prelude to Macunaísmo Tardio, the album for which he recorded the first volume in 2021, followed by the second volume in 2022 and now available in its entirety through the sub-label Notes On A Journey of Sonar Kollektiv. Macunaísmo Tardio is a perfect album for the label, led by Jürgen von Knoblauch of Jazzanova, which aims to shed light on criminally neglected masterpieces. The LP features original compositions by Mendes himself, as well as new arrangements of Brazilian classics by Lucca Noacco, Toninho Horta, and a stunning version of the evergreen dancefloor classic, Aldeia de Ogum by Joyce Moreno.
