Jorge Ben - Menina Mulher da Pele Preta
I’ve been going through my iTunes lately and redownloading albums that are encoded at low bitrates. I just got a different copy of A Tábua de Esmeralda and it seriously sounds so good that I want to cry.
"That ethereal twilight light, you know. It’s the sound of the street with the sunrays, the sun shining down at a particular time, on a particular type of building. A particular type of people walking on a particular type of street. It’s an outdoor sound that drifts even into open windows that you can hear. The sound of bells and distant railroad trains and arguments in apartment buildings and the clinking of silverware and knives and forks and beating with leather straps. It’s all—it’s all there. Just lack of a jackhammer, you know."
