Music from the mutant city
On a surfing expedition that started at Webjay I came across this wonderful snapshot of music from São Paulo 2004, Cidade Mutação. It's part of the larger site for a cultural festival that happened in November and includes art and writing as well.
The music page seems to authorize downloads as there's a Baixar a MP3 button on each band's popup, but downloading just generates errors. So I've extracted a list of the MP3s and created a Webjay playlist to make them streamable:
- Mamelo Sound System - Manifesta
- Parteum + Rua de Baixo - Selva
- Nego Moçambique - São Paulo Overture
- Junio Barreto - A quem Glória posso ser
- Hurtmold - Amansa louco
- Geanine Marques - Special Flavor
- Forgotten Boys - Godstrashcan
- Benzina aka Scandurra - 25/01/2025 (Psicon)
- DonaZica - Cadência
- Cansei de ser sexy - Acho um pouco bom
- Instituto+Z'África Brasil - Mutações
I'm especially taken with the track by Cansei de Ser Sexy, which has one of the better band names I've heard lately ("I Got Tired of Being Sexy").
