Rumours on blogs | | and comment sections circulated that the mysterious Brazilian genius | | had either been killed in a road accident, or been 'disappeared' by | | Brazil's military junta in the 1970s. But following Far Out's 2016 | | reissue of Jose Mauro's debut album Obnoxius, the label heard word | | that Jose Mauro is in fact alive and well, living a quiet life on the | | outskirts of Rio. | | | | After years of trying to track him down (with many twists and turns | | along the way), Far Out Recordings is overjoyed to finally present, | | with the blessing of the man himself, the long-awaited release of | | Jose Mauro's forgotten masterpiece A Viagem Das Horas, featuring | | three previously unreleased and unheard tracks from the original | | studio sessions. | | | | Recorded in 1970 at Odeon studios in Rio de Janeiro: the same time | | and place as all the music he ever recorded, Jose Mauro's A Viagem | | Das Horas wasn't released until six years later, curiously with | | several tracks already released on Obnoxius. Finally, over half a | | century on, A Viagem Das Horas will be released with three never | | before heard tracks, "Rua Dois", "Moenda'' and "Variacao Sobre Um | | Antigo Tema", as Mauro and Quartin had originally intended. | | | | Conceived under the gloom of Brazil's military authoritarianism, from | | which many artists had either fled or been exiled, Jose Mauro and his | | songwriting partner Ana Maria Bahiana, combined their shared interest | | in Candomble - a syncretism of traditional West African religions and | | Roman Catholicism - with MPB, psychedelic folk and orchestral music. | | Expressing a spiritual response to the world they found themselves | | in, the result was a sacrosanct, post-tropical music of pure | | transcendence. "Finding our place in a country under a brutal | | dictatorship, and not believing in either civil war or fascism, we | | were part of a generation in transit, searching for another option." | | | | This sense of searching and longing is present throughout the music, | | and the 'Viagem' (Journey) is a deeply profound one. With | | apparitional vocals and propulsive, open-tuning acoustic guitar, and | | Lindolfo Gaya's spine-tingling orchestrations soaring overhead, the | | music has the power to inspire in the listener an almost trance-like | | state of ecstasy. | | | | Understanding Mauro's musical vision, Quartin pulled together the | | best team available. For an independent label at that time in Brazil, | | the quality of the recording and production is exceptional. Having | | already recorded some of the great Brazilian albums of the sixties | | with Deodato, Baden Powell, Quarteto Em Cy and Moacir Santos, all of | | whom he saw success with on his Forma Label, Quartin's friendships | | with some of the best musicians in Rio, as well as his access to the | | top studios, engineers and state of the art recording techniques, | | gave Mauro's idiosyncratic compositions a dazzling clarity and | | intimacy. | | | | Many of the musicians who played with Jose Mauro would go on to | | become some of Brazil's most important and prolific, including Wilson | | Das Neves, Dom Salvador, and Ivan 'Mamao' Conti, and their raw talent | | in these early days is palpable throughout A Viagem Das Horas. | | | | After 1970, Ana Maria Bahiana followed her passion for writing, | | working as a music and entertainment journalist, as well as editor | | and founder of a number of magazines. For three years she was also | | director of Rio's Sound and Image Museum. In 1987 she moved to Los | | Angeles to work as a foreign correspondent, and to date has nine | | published books and anthologies, in both Portuguese and English. | | Interestingly, she notes that while none of her lyrics were ever | | censored by the Brazilian government, for many years, most of the | | articles she wrote for independent outlets (including the Brazilian | | edition of Rolling Stone) were either banned or botched. | | | | Compared to the notoriety he gained with Forma, Roberto Quartin saw | | little commercial success with the label named after himself. He too | | moved to the US where he would work (most notably) with Frank | | Sinatra, with whom he also became great friends. | | | | Jose Mauro, however, stayed in Rio. "After my second album, I started | | working with music for theatrical plays, both as a composer and as | | music director, especially at Rio's prestigious Tablado Theatre | | School. I also devoted myself to guitar teaching, and I was very good | | at that. I had a long waiting list of prospective students." But | | before long Mauro faced health complications and was forced to stop | | playing music altogether. "My body pushed me away from music, health | | became a stumbling block for me. If I had the strength to carry on | | with composing, I would have... always focused on achieving a sense | | of beauty, a sense of wonder." | | | | It's too tempting to think of what could have been, had Jose Mauro | | been able to continue making music. But what he achieved in those few | | sessions in 1970, with the help of Roberto Quartin, Ana Maria | | Bahiana, Lindolfo Gaya and the musicians and studio engineers, stands | | alongside some of the great works by Brazil's most celebrated | | artists. Over half a century since it was created, Jose Mauro's music | | has lost none of its power to totally mesmerise and bewitch. | | | | | | Jose Mauro - vocals, acoustic guitar, viola nordestina | | Sebastiao Marinho - bass | | Wilson Das Neves - drums | | Geraldo Vesper - guitar | | Juquinha, Mamao - percussion | | Paulo Moura - alto saxophone | | Altamiro Carrilho - flute | | Rildo Hora - harmonica | | Dom Salvador - organ, piano, harpsichord | | Maurilio - trumpet | | Ana Maria Bahiana - vocals | | | | All songs composed by Jose Mauro and Ana Maria Bahiana. | | Produced, directed, conducted (strings), remixed by Roberto Quartin. | | Arranged and conducted by Lindolfo Gaya. | | Recorded in 1970 by Jorge Teixeira at Odeon Studios, Rio de Janeiro. | | | | | | YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS SHIT IF YOU LIKE IT RIGHT?! | | | | | | . . | | |\/\/| | | |____| | |------------------------------=---=-======-=---=-------------------------| |===/\===============================SOUNDz==========================/\===| '--/__\--------------------------=-2013-2021-=----------------------/__\--'
