{"product_id":"falcao-fernando-memoria-das-aguas-vinyl-record-4250101406843","title":"Falcao,fernando - Memoria Das Aguas - Vinyl Record","description":"Selva Discos present a reissue sought-after Memria das guas album by Fernando Falco. Originally recorded in 1979 in Paris but only released independently in Brazil in 1981, the album comes complete with genre-hopping explorations that swirl around ambient soundscapes, lively jazz, experimental-leanings, Afro-rhythms, and a unique blend of Latin grooves and French pop with a Brazilian accent, but it also comes with a story as deeply unique as the music. To make a long story short, after participating in the political movements against the military regime in 1968 in Brazil, Fernando Falco left the country and moved to France, where he lived in exile for 15 years. There, after working in music, acting, and sculpting, he involved himself in Jrme Savary's legendary Grand Magic Circus, where he met his first wife, Valrie Kling. It was from this relationship that a partnership began between the musician and his father-in-law, the artist Franois-Xavier Lalanne, who guided Falco in the process of inventing sound sculptures such as the balau - a horizontal version of the berimbau string instrument whose sound was influenced by a water stream (since there was a hose soaking parts of the balau wet during the performances). Much of this exploration and experimentation resulted in the album Memria das guas. The album still sounds like little else from the time. As audacious and experimental as it is seamlessly listenable, it takes in immersive textures one moment before breaking out into Fela Kuti-esque brass-soaked grooves the next. It's ultimately a record that captures the spirit and rhythm of Falco's homeland combined with the lush production and art-pop approach associated with his exiled home; It's a polished, well executed and glistening record. It's a fusion of African, Brazilian, jazz, pop, classical and avant-garde collides to create a record that spans as many continents as it does genres. Remastered from the original master tapes, completely and faithfully restored. Includes unprecedented liner notes featuring rare photos of the musician and his sound sculptures plus articles, including one from DJ and selector John Gmez who helped to connect Selva Discos' Augusto Olivani with Diana Lion, Fernando Falco's daughter (since the musician died in 2002), for this project.","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49214519017714,"sku":"SEVA6.1","price":36.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/3699509-2412520.jpg?v=1778913772","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/falcao-fernando-memoria-das-aguas-vinyl-record-4250101406843","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
