💃🕺🏽 • • • @analogafrica ARCHIVES (AA No.20) SPACE ECHO - The Mystery Behind the Cosmic Sound of Cabo Verde Finally Revealed This record has a special place in my heart since I discovered the running order while in Brazil during our first trip together with Samy. We woke up everyday listening to the whole compilation, dancing and drinking caipirinhas, making sure the running order is right. What I didn’t know at the time is that these moments were also the beginning of my adventure with Analog Africa. Which I am incredibly grateful for 🙏 André, Sam (check his IG where he usually posts great records @damn_fine_vinyl ), Alex, Samy and I grooved so much to Space Echo that confirmation was set and the lightning was ready to hit Mother Earth for summer 2016 ! Keyboards found fertile grounds in Cabo Verde which facilitated the modernisation of local rhythms such as Mornas, Coladeras and the highly danceable music style called Funaná, which had been banned by the Portuguese colonial rulers until 1975 due to its sensuality! One of the key actor was the musical genius Paulino Vieira, who by the end of the 70s would become the country´s most important music arranger. 8 out of the 15 songs presented in this compilation had been recorded with the backing of the band Voz de Cabo Verde, lead by Paulino Vieira, the mastermind behind the creation and promulgation of what is known today as “The Cosmic Sound of Cabo Verde” . . #caboverde #funana #spaceecho #paulinhovieira #vozdecaboverde #keyboards #synthesizer #morna #coladera #analogafrica #33rpm #music #lp #vinyl #records #vinylcollection #vinyljunkie #instavinyl #nowspinning #recordcollector #recordshop #vinyladdict #vinyligclub #vinylcollectionpost #VinylLove #wax #compilation #Vinile #digginthecrates (at Cartagena, Colombia) https://www.instagram.com/9luv_buddhalab/p/CXOohU4rkxM/?utm_medium=tumblr

if sound was flavor • • • @analogafrica ARCHIVES (AA No.21) BITORI - The Forbidden Music of The Cape Verde Islands In 1997, a quiet, unassuming man of 59 years old named Victor Tavares - better know as #bitori - walks into a studio for the very first time to record a masterpiece which many Cabo Verdean consider to be the best #funana album ever made. The time was ripe to immortalise the sound Bitori had shaped over a time span of four decades. Built around a formidable #rhythmsection , formed of #drummer Grace Evora and #bass player Danilo Tavares, "Bitori Nha Bibinha" was recorded. The recording catapulted Chando Graciosa to stardom, making him #caboverde ́s No.1 interpreter of Funaná. The success in Cabo Verde was phenomenal and Funaná rapidly gained the recognition it deserved, especially in urban #dance clubs. Bitori ́s songs quickly became standards - classics known and loved throughout the country. Funaná, as told by Chando Graciosa himself “To put it simply, Funaná represents the citizens of Cabe Verde, who are defined not by what they own but by what keeps them going : #hope . Funaná celebrates hope and is an ode to life, giving strength to whoever is singing or listening. Funaná encapsulates Cabo Verde in its deepest sense. Funaná is Santiago, Funaná is life” . . . #accordion #morna #coladera #analogafrica #33rpm #music #lp #vinyl #records #vinylcollection #instavinyl #nowspinning #recordstore #onmyturntable #vinylcollector #vinylrecords #vinyloftheday #VinylClub #afrobeat #Vinilo #digginthecrates (at Cartagena, Colombia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXNHofYs96y/?utm_medium=tumblr
