{"product_id":"rodrigo-amarante_drama_2021_lba","title":"Drama","description":"You may already know Rodrigo Amarante. You may have heard \"Tuyo,\" his theme music for the Netflix drama Narcos, or the album Little Joy, recorded with Fab Moretti and Binki Shapiro; you may have noted his name among the songwriting credits of Gal Costa, Norah Jones, and Gilberto Gil; or perhaps you've seen him perform live with the Brazilian samba big band Orquestra Imperial, or with the Rio rockers Los Hermanos; you really should have heard his first album, Cavalo, released in 2014. You may think you already know Rodrigo Amarante, but Drama, his second solo album, will introduce a whole new level of confusion.\n\nDrama is deliberately caricatural, cinematic; \"As biased as memory.\" It flows like an arc, playfully deceptive, like a tale. The unsettling opening number gives you a hint that things might not be what they seem and that clues are hiding in plain sight. \"Projection, attachment, deception: that's drama.\" The sunny optimistic departure of \"Maré,\" with an almost childlike opening melody, echoes something less naive: \"The tide will fetch what the ebb brings.\" The rhythm helps you through. \"Tango\" sounds like falling in love on the dance floor, warm and tropical, it celebrates camaraderie, while perhaps yearning for it. \"Tara,\" meanwhile, feels like something Astrud Gilberto might have sung at the peak of bossa nova's global popularity, with the twist of muted big-band-era horns on the chorus, almost self-deprecating, as if mocking such idealized infatuation.\n\n\"Eight years after Cavalo, the Brazilian artist announces the album Drama\" --- FIP ---. \"A masterpiece of acoustic Brazilianism.\" --- NOVA ---. \"A small event that reminds us fondly of our days spent listening to Cavalo.\" --- LES INROCKUPTIBLES ---.","brand":"Rodrigo Amarante","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57307678933336,"sku":null,"price":20210716.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0644110042217.jpg?v=1779009850","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/rodrigo-amarante_drama_2021_lba","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
