Since 2012 Frevo has been recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage. The Frevo of Pernambuco has then got the acknowledgment it deserved, and it came from important international institutions. Thus, it can be celebrated as the incredible legacy that it is. But sorry to disappoint you. Frevo has been recognized for a long time by the people who have contributed to its creation and practice. The UNESCO seal only means the monetization by the elites of Paris, London, Berlin, New York… of a cultural practice that belongs to no one but to the people who nurture it.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOriginating in the carnival parades by military bands, the name Frevo means to boil as the frenzied dance makes you boil. But the dance takes from Capoeira the movement as weapon and disguise, because the ones who were boiling in the streets of Pernambuco’s carnival were the unruly masses that come and go without any recognizable direction. There is virtually no popular dance in the world that is not an expression of struggle, a way of carrying out the struggle.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSka Maria Pastora picks up on the tradition of the Frevo parades and mix it with a walking bass line accented with off beat rhythms, that is, Ska. Frevo and Ska. Ska Maria Pastora shows like no other what means to revisit Ska using Frevo’s harmonies to boil Jamaican Ska with carnival.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJamaica and Brazil fused in a unique blend. The Brazilian Northeast and the Caribbean, two places that witnessed the first revolutions in modern history: the revolutions of the Maroons. Often described as groups of runaway slaves they were authentic people’s revolutions as in the case of the great Zumbi dos Palmares, the quilombola leader who helped create an imaginary of resistance and struggle that continues today. One of the high points of the black revolutions in the territories now known as the Americas was the revolution in the French colony of Saint-Domingue led by Toussaint Louverture that gave rise to the independent state of Haiti, a revolution that shook the foundations of the French metropolis Paris. Never forget these stories when listening to the brass section of Ska Maria Pastora: the marching of the Maroons.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn the conflicts to control the Atlantic slave trade and the profitable sugar plantations used as extermination camps of the black population, the Dutch West India Company arose, which enlightens the history of Pernambuco until the Portuguese elites of Brazil reconquered the enclave. The Dutch burned Olinda, the capital of New Lusitania. But before that, there was the plundering of Recife and Olinda by English privateers and traders. UNESCO declared the colonial heritage of Olinda a World Heritage Site in 1982. A site of shame. Spanish, Portuguese, English and Dutch all were involved in claiming the land that once belonged to the Tupi-Guarani. But sugar was too sweet a commodity for the colonialists’ pockets to let the profits from the trade go away. The modern history of Northeast Brazil begins here, with extermination camps, mass genocide and imperial powers fighting each other for control of the sugar production that first invaded European aristocratic society and later served as the main source of energy for the impoverished working classes that populated the factories of the industrial revolution that would further impoverish the Global South.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePrimitive accumulation began in places like Pernambuco and styles like Frevo mean the creative resistance of the populations in their fight for sovereignty. As it is with Ska, which grew as a combination of Caribbean Mento and Calypso with Afro-American Jazz and New Orleans rhythms. Later, Ska developed into Reggae, another Intangible Culture Heritage named by the neocolonialists of UNESCO. But Reggae and Ska do not need recognition by any elitist international body, since they have become true international rhythms of global south peoples. It could have happened with Frevo too, but the British Empire has always been keener on exporting its colonial goods like it exploited West-Indian workforce to fuel its industrial complex in Great Britain. What they did not see coming was the alliance between emigrants from the colonies and British working-class kids that gave birth to the skinhead subculture against racial prejudice.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe destinies of the peoples of the Global South intersect in rhythms such as Ska and Frevo, which become anthems of true internationalism. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eEdited by Dr.Sócrates\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3 fusion-text-no-margin\" style=\"--awb-font-size: 50px;

Everyone was looking at Africa for inspiration especially in the music and words of Fela Kuti, the great Nigerian musician who fathered Afrobeat from West Africa’s Highlife and the Afro-American funk that he encountered after being in contact with the Black Panthers in the US. In the West, the independent music scene was in crisis, and Afrobeat seemed to offer a good opportunity to redeem Western musicians who, before an empty and depoliticized present, thought that ‘becoming Africans’ could gave them a surplus much needed in the industry. The great drummer and composer of Africa ’70, Tony Allen began touring around, appearing in every festival in the West, and collaborating in every new record made. Some bands began to include musicians from the African diaspora who were used to legitimize the bands as a colorful extra and helped to authenticate rhythms and lyrics. Afrobeat was everywhere. It came from the West and reclaimed some glorious past lost in the ‘darkness’ of African history. In countries like Brazil, but also in the US, Afrobeat served for the (white) elites to discovered the African heritage without having to feel uncomfortable about it. It is a very strange thing if we consider that Brazil has the second largest black population in the world. Somehow, in a twisted rework of the Hegelian Master-Slave dialectic addressed by Frantz Fanon, the West acknowledged so its dependence on the African musical tradition without acknowledging Africa’s independence from its world view.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\" class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003eExcerpt from Gri Gri Bá Edited by Dr.Sócrates.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\" class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\" class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LAzRN5YBfAM?si=mfFnH5WJXUSTDuZg\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\" class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\" class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\" class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDisclaimer: The images shown are for illustration and mock-up purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product.\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\" class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tropical Diaspora Records®","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45029758271756,"sku":"TDR043","price":45.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0536\/8063\/6098\/files\/Cover_TDR043_Front_Sticker_Mockup_2000x_v1.png?v=1776686669"},{"product_id":"pan-bras-afree-ke-vol-1-yellow","title":"Pan Bras’Afree’Ke Vol.1 [yellow] by Höröyá","description":"\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-redactor-tag=\"strong\"\u003ePan Bras’Afree’Ke Vol.1 [yellow] \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"cibfg\" data-offset-key=\"1e6m3-0-0\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-redactor-tag=\"strong\"\u003e☆ \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFirst press with only 100 records \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong data-redactor-tag=\"strong\"\u003e☆\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" data-offset-key=\"1e6m3-0-0\"\u003e\u003cspan data-offset-key=\"a1oe0-0-0\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0536\/8063\/6098\/files\/Label-Collection-Series-PanAfrica_23_492x_v1_160x160.jpg?v=1706094559\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" data-offset-key=\"1e6m3-0-0\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-redactor-tag=\"strong\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" data-offset-key=\"1e6m3-0-0\"\u003eTropical Diaspora® Records\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" data-offset-key=\"1e6m3-0-0\"\u003ePan-Africanism Collection Series\u003cstrong data-redactor-tag=\"strong\"\u003e - \u003c\/strong\u003eHöröyá on Vinyl\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" data-offset-key=\"1e6m3-0-0\"\u003e\u003cspan data-offset-key=\"a1oe0-0-0\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\" data-offset-key=\"1e6m3-0-0\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-offset-key=\"a1oe0-0-0\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-7 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-center fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-one\" style=\"--awb-text-color: var(--awb-custom14); --awb-margin-top: 1px; --awb-margin-right: 1px; --awb-margin-bottom: 1px; --awb-margin-left: 1px; --awb-font-size: 50px; text-align: center;\"\u003eHöröyá´s Second Album\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-1\" style=\"--awb-font-size: 30px; --awb-text-color: var(--awb-custom14); --awb-text-font-family: 'Alpaca'; --awb-text-font-style: normal; --awb-text-font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eThe group Höröyá releases its second album, Pan Bras’Afree’Ke Vol.1, with tracks that were recorded and produced in São Paulo, Bamako (Mali) and Bobo-Dioulasso (Burkina Faso), in West Africa.

Under the command of André “Piruka” and co-produced by the great maestro Cheick Tidiane Seck, one of the great names in music from Mali and the African continent, the songs also feature the participation of other great local musicians, such as Petit Adama Diarra and Barou Kouyate, who add different timbres to the tracks, with balafon, tama, kamele ngoni, djeli ngoni and the maestro’s famous keyboards.

The tracks, which were recorded between São Paulo, Bamako and Bobo-Dioulasso, make up an interesting panorama of the musicality of African origins and the black diaspora. The album features artists from five countries: Brazil, Mali, Guinea, Senegal and Burkina Faso and was produced in two volumes, Pan Bras’Afree’ke\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e Volumes 1 \u003cspan id=\"package_description_0\" class=\"peekaboo-text\"\u003eand 2. Under the command of André “Piruka”, the new tracks advance in polyrhythms and composed measures, with percussion arrangements that mix conceptions of Sabar, Mandeng music and Candomblé Ketu and Nagô, and melodies that maintain proximity to funk, jazz and afro -beat. The name and concept of the album comes from the Pan African movement, an important socio-political-cultural movement. With a unique artistic proposal, working together with great masters from different countries, thinking traditional with modern, Höröyá’s music pleases a wide audience and the group consolidates itself as a recognized and necessary band in the Brazilian music scene. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-1\" style=\"--awb-font-size: 30px; --awb-text-color: var(--awb-custom14); --awb-text-font-family: 'Alpaca'; --awb-text-font-style: normal; --awb-text-font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eAfrobeat was in vogue some years ago.

Like many others. The entire history of South Africa can be summed up in the murder of Mlangeni. How can the dream of power to the people be realized when the people have been systematically massacred? Echoes of Palestine. Echoes of South Africa. The favelas of Rio.

It represents the possibilities of the many-headed hydra: that social unity in diversity is more necessary than ever in the fight against fascism and imperialism. Poetic terrorism.
