LULU CORTES E ZE RAMALHO - PAEBIRU

BRAND NEW, SEALED VINYL 2xLP + 8 PAGE BOOKLET

RE-ISSUE ON THE MR.BONGO RECORD LABEL
CAT NUM: MRBLP050SP

RELEASE DATE: 22 OCTOBER 2012

Mr Bongo official reissue. The vinyl version is a special edition 2-LP pressing, finished to exactly match the original release, including the 8 page jacket size booklet

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
