AZYMUTH (for the first time in Australia) and MARCOS VALLE together on one night, two of the most iconic and influential archetypes of modern Brazilian music. Legacies that have proliferated and pushed since the 1960s, remaining just as relevant nearly six decades later. Their enduring influence on funk, soul, samba, jazz, pop and beyond, cannot be underestimated; an adventurous brand of fusion which continues to be an inspiration for artists everywhere.
So, a more than complimentary double header, the occasional collaborators both define not only the story of Rio’s bursting bossa-nova and samba scenes of the 60s/70s but also the forward-thinking imagination to take those traditions to expansive new territories, helping explore modern music’s potential. A who’s who of contemporary iconoclasts have sampled, remixed, repurposed or collaborated with the giants – Madlib, Roni Size, MF Doom, IG Culture, Flying Lotus, Adrian Younge & Ali Shaheed Muhammed, Mark Pritchard, Theo Parrish, 4Hero and so on. Such is the lasting legacy of these genre-bending radicals who continue to create genuinely pertinent music to this day.
Between these savant’s they’ve worked with them all – Sarah Vaughn, Frank Sinatra, Sergio Mendes, Stevie Wonder, Leon Ware, Jorge Ben, Airto Moreira, Chick Corea, George Duke, Milton Nascimento, Tim Maia to list just a handful.
