During the time that I spent living in Brazil, I didn’t have many occasions to really take in the music, the way I would have liked to. I had a pretty strict list of do’s and dont’s while I lived there. So, the majority of the exposure that I had to music, was just by hearing it in the streets. When I heard something that I thought was hot, I would try to figure out where it was coming from and ask whoever was playing it, what it was called, who the artist was, etc., then try to track down a copy in the record store.
With Chico Science, I bought up pretty much everything that I saw, including rarities (to the extent that they existed). Some of them turned out to just be crappy bootlegs from someone’s mono channel cassette recorded sneaked into a show. Others, like the one that I’m sharing today, are golden (in my opinion). The song that I’m sharing is a remix of a song called “Corpo de Lama,” which means “body of mud.” It comes from one of Chico’s post-mortem releases, a self-titled double disc. Both discs are full of live tracks and remixes by the likes of Mario Caldato (B. Boys keys), Apollo 9, David Byrne, and others. Anyway, I am still a big fan, and I will frequently still include some of these tracks on workout playlists, etc.. Here is “Corpo de Lama.” Escutem.
