This CD was produced by Laterit
productions, the independant company who also produced the film. 19 out of 20
tracks of this CD were especially recorded for the film. It is a tribute to the art of improvisation,
that is so deeply rooted in the Nordestino culture of repente. In fact, musical improvisation, as in the repentes,
emboladas, chorinhos, forrós, and even jazz, is the main
narration of the film. |
|
|
The
rhymes of the emboladores (tambourine and voice duos) are all
improvised and recorded on the spot, in the streets (2, 11 , 17); the verse
of the violeiros (guitar and voice duos as in track 4) were also
improvised, even if recorded in a studio. |
|
The chorinhos (6, 13,
19), and frevo (16), played by the Bando de Macambira are the result
of improvised meetings between musicians on Saturday mornings, in the back of
an instrument shop in São Paulo. They use to play together, following the
inspiration of the day. That day, the theme was, as in the film : the
Nordestino tells |
|
|
|
The forró at
“Xote das Meninas" (10) was recorded in a little dance hall stuck below
a highway in the outskirts of São Paulo; and behind Zé Honório’s accordion,
you will be able to hear the step of the dancers and the clicking of the
glasses, as if you were there. |
|
The chorinhos (3, 18), frevo
(12) and forrós (5, 15) recorded in a studio were also improvised and
played in live conditions and in only one take. |
|
Then, at the end of the editing of the film,
Thomas Rohrer and Fábio Freire |
|
listen
to some excerpts : 1. Olho d’agua 2. Cara com Cara 3. Bicho Carpinteiro |
All the lyrics have been transcripted into
Portuguese to let you have a try at the “tie-tongue”. But they are also translated in rhyme in French and in English to let you share the
skill of our street poets… |
