Hotly
tipped Brazilian DJ, producer and BBC World Music Award 2004
winner DJ Dolores launches his forthcoming new album, Aparelhagem.
DJ
Dolores burst onto the global club scene a couple of years
ago with his explosive and highly original mixture of traditional
sounds from the Brazilian northeast with dancefloor-friendly
electronics and elements of rock and dub.
Drawing his inspiration from urban and rural musical styles,
traditionally shunned by the establishment but favoured by
the working classes (dance rhythms such as maracatú,
song forms such as emboladas), DJ Dolores blends them with
loops, breakbeats, street sounds and live instrumentation
to create a unique musical cocktail which is culturally and
politically meaningful, yet first and foremost irresistibly
festive!
Aparelhagem,
which is both the title of DJ Dolores' album and new live
band, features charismatic female singer Isaar, a horn section
with a distinct Nordeste-cum-reggae flavour, rock guitar,
percussion, vintage synths, and DJ Dolores on laptop and turntables.
Aparelhagem
literally means “equipment”, and is the Brazilian
slang expression for “sound system”.
