APPELLATION CONTROLÉE DOS BAILES
Here’s the scene: It’s the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro at the beginning of the 1970s: The very streets which had previously played host to the traditional ‘blocos de carnaval’ for the massive February outdoor party that is Carnival, and the passionate guitar-led laments of the most beatiful choros, are now beginning to swing under a very different suingue: the imported sound of American soul and funk, courtesy of the now legendary local DJs: Big Boy … , Ademir Lemos, Paulao, Monsieur Lima and many other sound systems with names like Soul Grand Prix, Furacao 2000 and Black Power…
Many records that today have become the holy grail of collectors played out the soundtrack to this era, from the Dutch group Reality, through Cane & Abe, Masterfleet to Raw Soul Express, Mickey Murray and of course the classics of James Brown, The Meters, Kool & The Gang, B.T. Express and Bohannon that played on the suburban decks alongside the post-Bossa of Cassiano, Wilson Simonal, Tim Maia and Jorge Ben.
The dance bands, the so-called “bandas de baile”, that played live sets mixed in with the records that the DJs dropped had to be incredibly versatile to stay up there with the eclectic sounds being played - a successful melding of samba with soul-funk and even Italian pop songs and French chansons!
The true popstars of the bailes were organist Ed Lincoln’s classic line-up that featured Orlandivo, Durval Ferreira, Tony Tornado and other killer players - the group which kicked off the whole scene a decade before.
