GILLES PETERSON, legendary DJ and record collector for BBC Radio in London, presents the 2nd album Sonzeira project (“Happy and dancing sounds” in brazilian) : “Tam Tam Reimagined“.
Since his early days as a club DJ and pirate radio host, records from Brazil have taken prime position in Peterson’s record bag. He settled his record studio in Rio and gathered Brazilian artists to record the songs of TAM TAM TAM – a compilation released in 1957, that celebrates a distinctly Afro-Brazilian culture and that was later suppressed following a coup in the early 1960s.
TAM TAM TAM REIMAGINATED pays tribute to Afro-Brazilian culture and points out a key moment in the country’s history !
Released on July, 22nd (BROWNSWOOD RECORDINGS /La Baleine)
