We tried to find a song by Reflézia to add to this post, as the archive episode in question focused on the band, an old favourite of the Caipirinha Appreciation Society podcast. We couldn’t find a single reference to the group. All the more reason for you to hit that Oldies but Goldies link and enjoy yet another gem: bit.ly/CAS_338

Since we just talked about it in our latest archive episode, we figured it was the perfect time to pay tribute to the much-missed “Mondomix”. This November 2008 edition of the prestigious French magazine placed special focus on Brazilian music. The issue carried a cover story on Milton Nascimento, who has since retired from the stage, but also the very first mention - in print media - of the Caipirinha Appreciation Society show! We have since been featured in many a publication, but this was a most satisfying first. 🥰

Here’s a free translation of that excerpt:

THE BRAZILIAN UNDERGROUND
Hosted by two Brazilian radio journalists, Caipirinha Appreciation Society (CAS) has been exploring the hidden corners of Brazilian music for several years. “Brazilian music beyond clichés, it’s here!” — that’s the motto of this show dedicated to the overlooked artists of Brazil’s scene, past and present.
Created around 2000 by MdC Suingue, a Brazilian journalist exiled in London, CAS aimed to reveal a part of Brazilian music largely ignored by the majors. Originally produced for University of London radio, the show became bi-national in 2006 with the arrival of Kika Serra in Rio. Every week, these two passionate hosts deliver two hours of samba, bossa nova, psychedelic rock, and other styles — often from totally obscure but always quality groups.

The CAS duo were eye witness to all the public unrest brewing in Brazil on the eve of the major international sporting events held in the country. Here we bring you some of the music it inspired, along with our thoughts on what was going on. Both a historic and a historical episode, straight from the Oldies but Goldies section. bit.ly/caipirinhacast

A multi-layered show from start to post-production: The vibe is very 70’sh. Two new bands making their debut in the CAS: Dunas do Barato and Mutuca Bacana. For controversy, we’ve got the trial of Tom Zé by the STF (Supremo Tribunal do Facebook). And for cover artwork, a mash up of all the above: this hilarious rendition by our friend and listener Tiago Vianna, who perfectly translated in one image the Tropicalist nature of this Caipirinha Appreciation Society episode. bit.ly/CAS_334
