Topic: Nana Vasconcelos


In the News (Sat 26 Dec 09)

  
  E.J.N. - NANA VASCONCELOS
Nana Vasconcelos was born in Recife on the Northeast Coast of Brazil and, even after twenty years of playing throughout the world, his roots are apparent in everything he plays.
Nana returned to Brazil and recorded his album, Amazonas, and began a collaboration with guitarist Egberto Gismonti that lasted for eight years and produced three albums of duets.
Nana's very original use of the drum machine is distinguished by an unusually careful tuning that makes it sound almost organic and by his ability to play it live, typing out polyrhythms instead of programming them layer by layer.

 Naná Vasconcelos - Biography - AOL Music
Naná Vasconcelos is one of the cluster of endlessly inventive Brazilian percussionists who were changing the direction and sounds of Brazilian jazz in the post-bossa nova 1970s.
Vasconcelos is an especially inventive virtuoso of the berimbau, the weird yet expressive instrument shaped like an archer's bow, and he is also adept at the odd-numbered meters (5/4, 7/4) that were used frequently in the north but not the south of Brazil.
In the meantime, Vasconcelos joined the Pat Metheny Group from 1980 to 1983 as a "special guest," one who had the effect of rerouting Metheny's music in the general direction of Brazil.

 PEPPE CONSOLMAGNO - Project "Vasconcelos/Salis/Consolmagno Trio"
Nana Vasconcelos and Antonello Salis had already played together, twenty years ago: a meeting that resulted in “Lester”, the album that came out in 1988 under Soul Note.
The trio Vasconcelos, Salis and Consolmagno is based on pliability, the ability to invent melodies and on the simplicity with which they build new forms of musical experience.
Nana is not only popular, he is also an innovator, who has amplified the concept of percussion extending it to everything that emits sound: nature, electronics and human bodies are the fields where Nana have made his experiments, always bearing in mind the Brazilian musical tradition.

 Nana Vasconcelos (Brazilian Jazz & Insrumental Music)
Of course, I am not saying nothing new, but although everybody knows the capacity and skills of Andersen, Towner and Vasconcelos, this trio works as an unit.The music of this CD can take your imagination to go around not only to all the world but to your interior in search for different emotions.
This CD is a marvelous marriage of two widely varying styles of music--it's extremely successful at shaping the moments of transition between the Bach and the African music as well as overlaying the two.
Someone once said that if Naná Vasconcelos ever lost his luggage, with all his instruments in it, on his way to a concert, he could still do it, and it would bring people to tears.

 N. Scott Robinson-World Music and Percussion, Frame Drums, Riq, Tambourines
Naná Vasconcelos (Juvenal da Hollanda Vasconcelos), a percussionist with gifted creativity, was born in 1944 in Olinda, Pernambuco, Brazil and began a career in music over thirty-five years ago.
He invited me to the studio where he was mixing his new CD, and on the way we stopped by the late Collin Walcott's apartment and a restaurant where Codona used to eat.
When we got to the studio, without taking a break, Nana went right to work on his CD, which is a diverse assorment of acoustic guitar, chanting, rapping, singing, and his ever tasteful and creative percussion.
