Avolta Jr - Brazil By Azymuth!Azymuth (or Azimuth as they are sometimes called) must be the most recorded backing band in history. Forget Steve Cropper and those memphis guys - Bertrami and co have played on hundreds and hundreds of singles and albums and this show just scratches the surface of some of the immense musical talent possessed by this trio! The group took their name from a track recorded for the TV Globo novela Veu de Noiva which featured formula 1 as a backdrop. At that time the group were using the name Ap ...

Avolta Jr - Brazil By Orlandivo!Classic sambalanco on this show - dedicated to Orlann Divo (aka Orlandivo, aka D'Orlann) master percussionist and songwriter, a rare combination I'm sure you'll agree! Whilst the Zona Sul kids in RIo were following the uber laid back Joao GIlberto, Orlann Divo, Rubens Bassini, Ed Lincoln, Wilson Simonal, Silvio Cesar and others from the less fashionable Zona Norte were carving out a mixture of heavy Afro Cuban, jazz and samba with a unique dancefloor 'suingue' - sambalanco! Orlann these day ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website

Avolta Jr - Brazil By Jorge Ben!Jorge Ben - what can you say? The man mixed roots samba with bossa jazz and American R&B and the first song he wrote (Mas Que Nada) became one of the world's most covered songs.

Avolta Jr - Brazil By Donato!Finally Avolta Jr office is back online and this show is a special on Joao Donato who Avolta Jr spent a week with in London, England, the first that JD had been there since 1965 with Astrud Gilberto!
Donato's career and influence have been so long and varied that it's impossible to distill the essence in one show so maybe there'll be more soon? We start with a couple of tracks from boy genius sanfonista - this choppy accordion style mixed with 'modern' stan kenton chords became the basis f ...

Avolta Jr - Brazil Novelas Vol 2!Ah, as telenovelas! Where would we brazilians be without the daily fix of love, murder, intrigue and corruption? The first novelas were on the now defunct TV Tupi and the newly born TV Globo was quick to realise the pulling power of these soaps. Usually each one lasts a few months only, but since the beginning the music in the telenovelas has been a key ingredient to their success. The first novelas on Globo has soundtracks produced in conjunction with Philips Brasil, but Globo soon realise ... Listen | Listen in your iPhone | Download | View full cache | Visit Website

Avolta Jr - Samba Soul Vol 2!Been a couple of weeks since the last show, so rather than write lots of intros here so I'm gonna do a few catch up shows to post over the next few days. This show is volume 2 of the samba soul theme, starting out with Lady Zu and Toto (not the stadium rock band obviously!) from the soundtrack to the seminal novela Dancin' Days, then Sao Paulo prog rock funksters Som Nosso (de Cada Dia) with the super funky Francois.
