Africadeus – N. Angelo – Novelli stands as a testament to Nana Vasconcelos’ singular vision within the jazz idiom. Recorded in the early 1970s, this album is both a bold statement of Afro-Brazilian identity and a pioneering exploration of improvised sound. Vasconcelos’ masterful percussion—especially his iconic use of the berimbau—transforms rhythm into an evocative narrative, weaving together ancestral echoes and modern jazz sensibility. The interplay with collaborators Nelson Angelo and Novelli transcends conventional ensemble roles; together, they sculpt soundscapes that feel at once ancient and startlingly new. Africadeus is not just an album, but a ritual: its spacious, percussion-driven passages invite deep listening and reward those who appreciate music as a living, breathing art form. For collectors and aficionados, this record is essential—not only for its historical importance in the evolution of world-influenced jazz, but for its sheer inventiveness. It’s an album that challenges, inspires, and ultimately expands our notion of what jazz can be. If your collection seeks albums that break boundaries and radiate authenticity, Africadeus deserves a prominent place on your shelf.
