“Rogê is the artist taking classic Brazilian music into the future” – MOJO

 

 

 

Rogê has released his new album Curyman, deemed a “modern Brazilian masterpiece” by Gilles Peterson and the artist taking classic Brazilian music into the future” by MOJO with a four star review and four page issue in the latest feature. The LA Times profiled Rogê in anticipation of the album, while WNYC highlighted Rogê’s guitar and songwriting prowess on a recent Soundcheck Session — coverage from Wax Poetics, Aquarium Drunkard, NPR All Things Considered, FLOOD and more are forthcoming. Rogê just completed a run of Brazil tour dates opening for new collaborator Jack Johnson, and he has 7 performances between March 14-18 in Austin at SXSW, followed by Tree Fort Fest in Boise later this month

 

Beaming a beloved musical style through a prism of orchestration and the sun-kissed joy of West Coast living, Curyman’s new take on samba funk celebrates the history of the genre while delivering a fresh, vibrant new sound thanks to an ace group of collaborators.

Curyman was created with Thomas Brenneck — of Menahan Street Band fame and the go-to producer for Mark Ronson, Jay-Z, Yebba, Sharon Jones, Beyonce and many more.  Floored by Rogê’s charisma and the emotion that pours out of his songs and guitar playing, Brenneck demoed almost an album’s worth of songs with Roge the very first night they met. 

 

After finalizing the tracks with Brenneck and ace musicians including BadBadNotGood’s Chester Hansen on bass, whistler Molly Lewis, and keyboardist Victor Axelrod, the duo flew to Rio for string sessions with Arthur Verocai — the legendary Brazilian composer, arranger, and cult hero sampled by MF Doom, Madlib, Ludacris, and more. 

 

Through tears of sheer amazement, Brenneck and Rogê watched their album expand into a fully realized vision right in front of their eyes as Verocai added an abundance of textural excursions and compositional flourishes to Rogê’s ever-sunny samba funk.

 

Curyman is the debut LP on Diamond West Records, based in Pasadena, CA, which is being distributed by Secretly Distribution. Previous singles included the cinematic strings of “Mistério da Raça”, “Existe Uma Voz”, a swanky ode to the self, tinged with psychedelic flourishes and worldly wisdom, as well as “Pra Vida”, which was described by KUTX as “channeling Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66 with sandy acoustic guitar and breezy group vocals… an experience that’ll have you reinvesting in the magic of life.”  

 

Curyman Tracklist:

  1. Pra Vida
  2. Nação Tupi
  3. Eu Gosta Dela
  4. Camará
  5. Retumbar Do Meu Tambor
  6. Mistério Da Raça
  7. Existe Uma Voz
  8. Se Eu For Falar De Amor
  9. Grito Da Natureza
  10. Yemanjá
  11. O Vento

This journey in Xyion, to me, is the centerpiece of all to come and what shall remain. Xyion, the the term, “Shari’ah”, must be imagined as a geometric diagram, which will clarify interpretation more fully. Shari’ah consist of the circumference of the circle, which obviously the circumference is that which defines it; there is no circle without a circumference. Once the circumference is dissolved, the circle itself ceases to exists. Thus, for every circle a certain primacy is given to its circumference. Likewise every circle has a center and the center of the circle of Shari’ah is the Haqiqah. It is from which is limited and defined by the circumference that is the Shari’ah. Xyion (for me) equals Shari’ah and this balance is the journey.
