So i been really into music from South America lately. Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, etc. I love different genres and sounds from especially Brazil but when i listened to this record it struck a chord with me. https://www.discogs.com/release/4235000-Nando-Carneiro-Violão
It was like “thats the sound”. Technical but simple. Not ambient but ambient atmosphere. Jazz inspired but not jazz. Its hard to describe.
I wondered if there was any connoisseurs of this particular style at this excellent forum. Hit me up with suggestions. Anything goes
Here are some other records kind of similar i been digging.
You’ll like this one, although it’s not actually South American - it was recorded in Germany with mostly German musicians - but it’s heavily inspired by Brazilian music.
This is also nice and actually is Brazilian. Mr Bongo found some deadstock of this a few years ago but I couldn’t justify the £200 they priced it at. Has since been reissued as well.
Yeah, definitely. Lo Borges and Milton Nascimento have some stuff in a similar vein as well for the “sound” im searching for
Havent checked out Mutantes though.
Slightly different wheelhouse but I love this LP which I think fits the ambient not ambient experimental by a couple of Mexican musicians, trying to somehow blend the ancient and traditional with the modern. Weirdo electronic explorations.
