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.
Given their significance, it’s mind boggling to think Azymuth will only now make their Australian debut while Marcos Valle makes his return for the first time since 2007. This isn’t a tokenistic nostalgia trip, rolling out relics from the past for a sing-a-long. On Sunday, March 20th at The Princess Theatre, get ready for a very special show by musical mavericks who continue to prove they’re on top of their game - as perceptive and inspired as they were fifty years ago.
Valle and Azymuth’s enduring influence on funk, soul, samba, jazz, pop and even rock of the world, cannot be underestimated; an adventurous brand of fusion which continues to be an inspiration for artists everywhere. 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.
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.
It was in fact Marcos who invited Azymuth, then an emerging session rhythm section, to record on a soundtrack LP O Fabuloso Fittipaldi. After the success of the record, the trio asked Marcos permission to use the name of one of the tracks ‘Azimuth’ as their name, and the rest is history.
On parallel journeys, each have continuously evolved and found new generations of fans, occasionally crossing paths on recordings or live performances to this day. The two combine once more for a bonafide flex of their repertoire and improvisational mastery. A showcase of some of the
most defining Brazilian music made and its lasting impact on the world.
