Africadeus – N. Angelo – Novelli – Nana Vasconcelos – – Pre Owned CDs (Arrives in 14days)

Nana Vasconcelos’s ‘Africadeus – N. Angelo – Novelli’ stands as a singular document of rhythmic imagination and spiritual inquiry. Released at a pivotal point in the early 1970s, this album finds the legendary Brazilian percussionist channeling both his Afro-Brazilian heritage and the avant-garde jazz currents of the time. With the berimbau, congas, and his own voice, Vasconcelos conjures a world where the boundaries between improvisation and ritual are thrillingly blurred. The album’s title suite, ‘Africadeus,’ unfolds like a sonic invocation—layers of rhythm and breathless textures, merging earthiness with ethereality. Collaborations with N. Angelo and Novelli add further dimension, weaving guitar and bass into the percussive tapestry, creating a dialogue that feels both ancient and startlingly new.

For collectors and listeners alike, this record is more than a showcase of technical prowess; it’s a meditation on identity, ancestry, and the universal language of rhythm. ‘Africadeus’ is a must-have for anyone seeking to understand the adventurous spirit that propels jazz forward, especially at its intersections with global traditions. This is an album that rewards deep listening and repeated spins, growing more revelatory with every play.
