Brincantes: Anavantou!

Anavantou!

CYP 0609

The musical collective Anavantou! was formed in 2013 on the initiative of Belgian music producer Damien Chemin and Brazilian musician Dudu Prudente. Seeking a way to bring their cultures closer together through music, they proposed the meeting between the percussive group Membrana and the singer Nino Karvan both from the State of Sergipe in Brazil, and the Belgian instrumental group Turdus Philomelos. Anavantou's music is inspired both by Brazilian Northeast forró rythms and Belgian surrealism, and turns out to be a surprising explosive and festive transatlantic cultural dialogue. • The name Anavantou expresses the hybrid identity of the band which proposes an unconventional encounter between zabumba, triangle, saxophone, diatonic accordion, harmonica, violin, organ and bass to form the ensemble's own sonority. • Brincantes presents mainly original compositions by the band and a few pieces of the folk repertoire. The group's playful and festive approach unfolds freely thanks to the energy and original arrangements of the musicians in collaboration with musical director David Bovée (leader of the Belgian band Think of One and current guitarist of the Brazilian singer CéU). The album also features singer Dona Nadir, one of the greatest voices of the traditional music of the Sergipe region, as well as the astonishing pifano flutes group Os Vitos.
