Ávora Di Carlla (Brazil): Symphonic or Eclectic?

 

This appears to be a project organised by a guy named Gustavo Caverzan. I suggest that anyone who understands Portuguese goes directly to http://www.olhovivo.ca/musica/89/o-rock-progressivo-do-avora-di-carlla/, where they can read an extensive interview with him, and learn all about the project - which seems to consist of two albums - the first of which was released on CD earlier this year, and the second of which is planned for release sometime in 2013.

 

It appears that the first album 'O velho, a carne e a psicodélica árvore do inmaculado ventre da terra', was actually originally conceived and written back in 2010, and released digitally at the time, but is only now available to buy on CD.

 

It is, however, freely available to download via the band's website (in WAV format - around 400MB worth!) as well as the accompanying booklet, but you will need to open an account at 4shared.com to do so.

 

The website, where you will find the download links, is: http://avoradicarlla.webnode.com/.

It's a seven track album - all of them really being part of one single 'song' or story.

And just for good measure, here is the first track from Disc II, which we hope to be able to hear in its entirety sometime next year:

 

 

 

 

I think this album/band/artist deserves to be on here, so let's see what Iván and his men make of it first.

 

 

 

Another one to throw into Eclectic's ever-burgeoning sack.

Good job Father Christmas hasn't got to add it to his collection for later in the year...he'd never get off the North Pole!!

Poor old Rudolph's whole body would be overheating - never mind his nose!
