{"product_id":"neves-e-silva-ladeiras-de-santa-teresa","title":"Neves E Silva - Ladeiras De Santa Teresa","description":"\u003cp\u003eFar Out Recordings proudly presents Ladeiras De Santa Teresa, the debut collaboration between Rio-jazz maverick Antonio Neves and carioca percussion master Thiaguinho Silva.\u003cbr\u003eIn what could well be the first ever Brazilian jazz album centered around two drummers, Ladeiras De Santa Teresa is an uncompromisingly groove-rich recording, steeped in trad-samba roots and\u003cbr\u003ebrass power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince his acclaimed 2021 album A Pegada Agora E Esssa Antonio Neves has remained a mainstay of the international facing Brazilian scene, performing both as a trombonist and drummer.\u003cbr\u003eHis instrumental contributions to contemporary classics like Ana Frango Eletrico’s Little Electric Chicken Heart, Bruno Berle’s No Reino Dos Afetos 2, and Bala Desejo’s Sim Sim Sim will be marveled upon by future generations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis partner in crime Thiaguinho Silva happens to be the son of percussion icon Robertinho Silva, who has played on more or less every canonical Brazilian record, Arthur Verocai (1972), Clube Da Esquina (Milton Nascimento and Lo Borges, 1972), and India (Gal Costa, 1973) to name barely a few.\u003cbr\u003eThiaguinho himself has worked with Marcelo D2, Gal Costa, Liniker and Alice Caymmi, and upon listening to Ladeiras De Santa Teresa, it’s clear that Thiaguinho is more than a worthy successor to carry the Silva family torch.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome listeners may already be familiar with “Das Neves,” which appeared on Mr Bongo’s Rio De Janeiro-focused Hidden Waters compilation in 2023.\u003cbr\u003eThe track showcases the profoundly skilled Neves brothers brass section (Antonio alongside brother Edu, who has performed with Hermeto Pascoal), the fiery elegance of pianist Luiz Otávio (Dora Morelenbaum), and Thiaguinho’s pulsating samba breaks.\u003cbr\u003eThis synergised combo continues across the album, notably on “Fendas Vocais” with Neves doubling up on drums, exhibiting his inventive and fearless skill as an arranger.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe album also features street-artist, musician and rapper Joca, adding vocalised dynamism and swagger to an otherwise entirely instrumental record on “Viagem de Trem”.\u003cbr\u003eThe album’s title Ladeiras De Santa Teresa (The hills of Santa Teresa) is named in tribute to Rio De Janeiro’s famed Santa Teresa neighborhood, a bohemian enclave with scenic views of the iconic cityscape.\u003cbr\u003eThe spirit of Santa Teresa with its expansive city views and bustling energy is embodied in the album which encapsulates the jazz and samba histories felt within the neighborhood’s windy alleyways and cobbled streets.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Far Out Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":57946949091660,"sku":"BLX-13572","price":26.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":57946949157196,"sku":"BLX-13573","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0841\/2738\/3884\/files\/a4056536660_10.jpg?v=1782988013","url":"https:\/\/badlands.co.uk\/products\/neves-e-silva-ladeiras-de-santa-teresa","provider":"Badlands","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
