“What music do you like” is a standard question you’ll be asked when meeting new people. In my case I use adjectives like “electronica”, “tropical”, “bossa”, “disco”, “beat” and “japanese”. An impossible combination?
Let me introduce you to Pat C.
Brasilian and from Frolianopolis. Which makes it easier, for real new fresh sounds in Brasil you need to go Sao Paulo and below. Above you’ll be stuck in kitch.
I’ve been following Pat C for quite a while. Her tracks from “Saudade Suite” and “Sunshina Suite” are in my iTunes and are nice. But not much more than that, I missed the upbeat. But the years passed, the girl grew more mature and now she realeased a new album “Pat C – Pode C”, which was in Sao Paulo (by Paulo Beto, Tata Aeroplano, Quincas Moreira), in London (by Elliot Ireland & Alex Rizzo / Jalapeno Records) an in Berlin and Florianopolis by Holger Beier / Le Hammond Inferno (Bungalow Records). Critics at the most respected newspaper “Folha De Sao Paulo” already called her the new “Rita Lee” because of her funny way of joking around with brasilian lyrics. Pisca Punga came out on “Vitamin C” which already had the great track “Spat Fow” (you’ll notice the ‘Japan’ adjective in this one) and now she released “Sambinha do Pisca Punga” on “Pode C”. Unfortunately “Vitamin C” only came out in Japan and it’s hard to get hold of the tracks. Luckily, “Pode C” will be released in Brasil. Can’t wait to buy it.
My conclusion: if you ever meet a Brasilian girl who says she loves Berlin: date her !
