Siria - Mestre Cupijo e Seu Ritmo [CD]

Cameta, a historical little Amazonian town on the shores of the river Tocantins, is the birthplace of the scorching music known as “Siria”; a cross pollination between the music of the inhabitants of the quilombos, a Brazilian hinterland settlement founded by escaped slaves of African origins, and the indigenous people of the Amazon rainforest. It is a breathing, pulsing, emphatic beat, and the modernised version of this local music, created by Mestre Cupijo, has been igniting street parties and traditional festivals across the state of Para in Northern Brazil for decades. And at last in 2014, the combustible sound of Siria will be celebrated internationally as the feverish, tropical sound of the summer! 8-panel digipack CD with rare pictures & liner notes, includes unlimited streaming of Siriá via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.
