Correa, Djalma
Espontaneamente Se Tenta (2lp)
Djalma Corrêa's 'Espontaneamente Se Tenta: Aventuras Sonoras De Djalma Corrêa,' a remarkable double-LP album, showcases the experimental genius of the legendary Brazilian percussionist and composer. Featuring previously unreleased recordings, this collection offers a rare glimpse into the untapped depths of Corrêa's creativity. The album's tracks, many digitized for the first time from original tapes, reveal an eclectic and intense soundscape that captures Corrêa's fearless approach to spontaneous music. From an electroacoustic piece, which draws on African ancestral influences, to a proto-mixtape Corrêa's work spans a wide array of genres and sonic experiments. While Corrêa is widely recognized for his contributions to historical albums by icons like Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, and Jorge Ben, this compilation shines a light on his lesser-known, avant-garde works, including his early use of electronic devices.
