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

Africadeus is a landmark in avant-garde jazz and a showcase for Nana Vasconcelos’s singular artistry. Recorded in the early 1970s, this album stands as a radical affirmation of Afro-Brazilian identity, filtered through Vasconcelos’s innovative approach to percussion. Rather than simply supporting the music, the berimbau, bells, and voice become the music’s heart, weaving together ancient rhythms and modern improvisation. ‘Africadeus’ is the sound of old worlds colliding with new, where ritual, memory, and invention coexist. The collaboration with N. Angelo and Novelli on this record only expands its palette, introducing subtle melodic and harmonic shadings that underline the album’s sense of discovery. Vasconcelos’s use of space and silence is as striking as his rhythmic complexity—each moment feels charged with intent. For anyone interested in the intersection of jazz, world music, and the avant-garde, this is a defining listen. It’s a record that rewards deep attention, inviting the listener into a sonic landscape both rooted and boundless. Owning this album is owning a piece of cross-cultural innovation, where history, emotion, and experimentation are inseparable.
