LULA CORTES ZE RAMALHO-Paebiru-'74 Hippy BRAZILIAN ACID FUZZ PSYCH-NEW 2LP
LULA CORTES ZE RAMALHO
Paebiru
BRAZIL ACID FUZZ
NEW LP
REISSUE (MR BONGO)
Lula Côrtes & Zé Ramalho
gatefold double vinyl
New special edition 2 x LP pressing, finished to match the original specifications, now including the 8 page booklet.
Special edition with 8 page booklet printed on super rare aged paper. The legendary and rare cult Brazilian psych concept classic enjoys another official double vinyl re-release. A wonderfully off-kilter record, full of fantastic hooky and strange tunes that range all over the place, from full-on freakouts to the quietly pastoral. The closest comparison might be to combine Amon Duul, Sunburned Hand Of The Man and perhaps Double Leopards, if they lived on a commune together in Brazil and recorded while indulging in mass quantities of narcotics.
The album is a collaboration between Brazilian artists Lula Côrtes and Zé Ramalho, a wonderfully off-kilter record full of fantastic hooky and strange tunes that range from full-on freakouts to quiet pastoral numbers displaying the entire range of 1970s hippie Brazilian musician culture.
Paebiru is an obscure Brazilian psych concept album about the four elements that was lost to time in a warehouse fire in 1974. This led to it becoming a massively sought-after classic, fetching up to $4,000 for original vinyl copies.
Lula, who composed and played on the tracks sadly passed away in 2011 after fighting a long battle with cancer.
Paebiru offers a very atmospheric blend of both artists' sensibilities: sung and chanted vocals are no more or less important than any of the other elements, which include classical acoustic and fuzzy electric guitar, piano, organ, flute, sax and a range of percussion.
It's free and psychedelic, but just reigned in enough to keep it tense and exciting.
In Brazil, from the late 1960's onward, Caetano Veloso, Jorge Ben, Tom Ze and many others blended elements of psychedelic rock, jazz and indigenous folk with more 'classicâl' instrumentation and urban styles such as bossa nova and samba.
As much a political identity movement as a cultural one, Tropicalia, as it came to be known, artists as a whole were interested in using artistic expression to remove barriers and as a means of enabling other societal freedoms.
