Men, stick-on your felt hats, and fasten your bombachas. Take a look at that stunner; swinging those hips in her full-length skirt and striped shawl; gyrating just like a wet and sexy Conger eel. Go to her, embrace her; for the Brazilian electro-folk maestro DJ Dolores is descending on London’s infamous Cargo nightclub, and just two weeks after Notion’s very own gut-busting launch of Stand And Point may I add - Arriba!
For those that are unaware, DJ Dolores’ latest music was inspired by the sounds of Brasília Teimosa, one of Brazil’s poorest areas. The traditional folk, horns and beats of the region blew the well traveled DJ away, propelling him deep into the unique electro-Brazilian-folk he’s developing a reputation for.
With blaring horns, the subtle shake of maracas and a dark political subtext, Dolores’s tracks are a proverbial melting-pot of Northeastern Brazilian music cast forward to the present with a coursing electro backdrop and the occasional rock or dub beat thrown in for good measure. Dolores’s latest material, taken from the forthcoming album ‘Real 1,’ will be showcased at Cargo and is the DJ’s contribution to the ‘Danger Global Warming’ project. The album itself features some excellent collaborations from the likes of Nordeste fusionists Silvério Pessoa and Marion, and Hugh Cornwell of The Stranglers.
Yes indeed, Cargo is the place to be in February. On the 15th we, the good folk of Notion, present ‘Stand and Point,’ the first of our bi-monthly beat extravaganzas, and on the 27th Cargo present a smooth Brazilian - of the non-pubic variety. January you say? The New Year kicks off next month baby; hell yeah!
