Sounds like Stevie Wonder singing Brazilian Portuguese.
Sounds like Stevie Wonder singing Brazilian Portuguese.
trippy guitar harmonies, beautiful amalgamation of references to indigenous words and culture
clown core: Diarrhea Inferno Welfare Burrito
gradual voice-leading and suspensions with fast-paced drumming
wild creepy sensory overload
Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.
Filó Machado: FÉ CEGA / FACA AMOLADA
pure musicianship with mostly guitar, beatboxing, and vocal rhythmics leading to some very happy music; complex harmonies remind me of Toninho Horta and Jacob Collier (especially the changing shirts).
Mestre Gato Preto: The art of the berimbau (2001)
mostly berimbau without singing, solo and with the drum section, great swing
tight drumming, nice contrast between sections
would love to know the genre that is named for this chord progression.
Maribel La Canija: Mediterráneo
many 'typical/cliche' progressions but nice surprise resolutions, crunches, and resolutions. timefeel includes triplets. bass solo has this "suspended in the air" feeling i tend to seek out.
KNOWER: It's All Nothing Until It's Everything
deadly intricate rhythmic precision juxtaposed with smooth flowing head-banging melody.
Minha Velha: Capoeira Music Practice
Mixture of leading and harmonizing. Big sound with 7 people; sounds like there's more instruments than there actually are.

Cachila: Uruguay – Tambores del Candombe N° 2 (2009)
Pure vocal percussion, sometimes with actual drums. Can't help but solo or move on some of these explosive rhythmic drives. Some tracks fuse conversation, sound play, and humour.
Jacob Collier: Fascinating Rhythm
One of his first popular videos, from 2014 yet doesn't feel dated.
melodic phrasing feels vaguely baroque; harmonies make giant steps; solid groovy beat; bought this right away
Sullivan Fortner: Once I Loved
mixing multiple voices, dense crunchy textures, jazz harmonies with quirky extensions, slight atonality, never heard this kind of playing.
Sullivan Fortner: Sunny Side of the Street
non-ironically making an older style feel current.
Brad Mehldau: The Greatest Jazz Pianist of Our Generation
[Written chord changes are an expedient way to quickly coordinate playing together, but they lack precision to specify things like voice-leading, even from more popular songs like Blackbird.]
[I like to add a note to so-called 'stock voicings' for crunch.]
[The intellectual aspect of improvising happens as you make sense of music. What happens in real-time while playing is a natural reflexive response based on everything you've learned.]
[Can you tell the same story with just two notes?]
fluid switches between discussion and piano playing

Kenny Garrett and Sounds From The Ancestors: Tiny Desk Concert
simple gospel influenced groove turns into a party; got me out of my seat pretty quick, couldn't sit still; lots of subtle polyrhythmic goodness in the background.
catchy tune without words; complex drumming and rhythms but flows easy; video and imagery kind of absurd and hilarious with some famous figures doing a cameo.
