Candomble: Sacred rhythms in Brazil.

Field recordings and remixes from Candomble rituals. Not sure about how the practitioners feel about the remixes (or even the music presented outside of a ritual context), but it's brilliant, especially the original field recordings.

Candomble: Sacred rhythms in Brazil.

[...] Not sure about how the practitioners feel about the remixes (or even the music presented outside of a ritual context)[...]

Having spent many years participating in 'drum circles' which were predominately organized by a couple of friends, one of whom (Arthur Hull) formerly owned West Cliff Percussion in Santa Cruz, and hand-made my two main drums way way (nearly 40 years) back, and by my having personally lead/performed (literally) uncountable "trance" inducing drum sessions several times a week throughout the 90's, and into 2K...

I would lay pretty heavy odds that it would be severely frowned upon by those who actually 'preserve', perform, and participate in the ritual, given its history (read that 'legacy') which is and revolves around its UNIFIED, specific, and 'focused' intent. At the very least it is {IMHO} a blatant and profoundly careless case of "cultural appropriation".

The Brazilian religious and musical tradition of candomblé is a rhythmic barrage. Originating in the 19th century among enslaved west Africans, candomblé manifested in music as a ritual practice of drumming circles, where polyrhythms were hammered out to induce possession by spirits.

The following pseudo-intellectual drivel may make for convenient/self-justifying promo-copy for those fixated on quasi-Kumbia fantasies, but the stated purpose may very well be lost completely on those whom it claims to be "honouring". ... {Just a thought}

This bilingual book, part of the project Candomblé: Sacred Rhythms in Brazil, brings together a rich and carefully curated selection of materials, including archival documentation alongside newly commissioned texts and artistic contributions. Through historical research, critical essays, and visual documentation, it seeks to honour this tradition by tracing its historical foundations while offering a critical and artistic reflection on its contemporary transformations and future trajectories. By placing past records in dialogue with present-day perspectives, the publication becomes both an archive and a space of reflection on the enduring and evolving nature of Candomblé.
