Dans la présentation du label, ils font une comparaison avec Charles Stepney et Isaac Hayes, ça m'a interpellé
J'ai écoute vite fait le myspace, c'est beau. Des cordes, du rhodes, le flow tranquille brésilien...

Arthur Verocai 'Encore'
"This is incredible…full of soulful orchestrations that recall David Axelrod or Isaac Hayes....the signature is clearly Verocai’s own”
INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY
‘Encore’ is the new studio album from Arthur Verocai, a multi talented Brazilian guitar player, composer and arranger, considered by many as Brazil’s answer to David Axelrod & Charles Stepney.
Featuring 11 new compositions from Arthur with guest musicians including Azymuth, Ivan Lins and a nine-piece string section. ‘Encore’ is the highly anticipated follow up to Arthur’s eponymous debut album from 1972. It sees Arthur joining the dots over 35 years to create a new classic of Brazilian music that, like his debut, combines Brazilian influences with his take on American soul and cinematic experimentation, and shows Arthur’s sound is as poignant now as it was in the 70s.
Arthur Verocai began his professional music career in 1969 and over the next few years he was responsible for the orchestration of albums by Ivan Lins, Jorge Benjor, Elizeth Cardoso, Gal Costa, Quarteto em Cy, MPB 4 and Marcos Valle, among others. In the 1970s he was hired by Brazil’s biggest TV station, TV Globo, as musical director and wrote the arrangements for many of the stations biggest shows. In 1972, following the success Arthur had with the production of Ivan Lins 1971 album "Agora", Arthur recorded his self-titled debut album on Continental Records.
‘Arthur Verocai’challenged the musical conventions of the day, combining Brazilian influences with folksy soul and lo-fi electronic experimentations of American artists like Shuggie Otis or th e orchestration of producer Charles Stepney.
