"Emergencia, Enquanto Vidas Secam de Fome E Sede, Chove Dinheiro Nos Bolsos Dos Governantes" 12''lp
Boas Novas / Esperanza Produçoes - 1999
Obscure Brazilian compilation, featuring twelve punk bands from the Nordeste/North-East part of the country, those bands deliver forty five tracks of extremely crude and lo-fi recordings.
Most of them are totally unknown except Discarga Violenta.
Well, i have a hard time reading or deciphering Portuguese, so here's what i can understand from reading the liner notes of this record: This is a regional compilation, the bands are coming from places like Fortaleza, Pernambuco, Salvador de Bahia, Natal, and Recife, places that are more known for Samba and its traditional music than Punk / Hard-core. The title could be roughly translated as: "Emergency, When Lives dry from Hunger and Thirst, It's Raining Money In The Governants Pockets", the Nordeste region is known to be an area plagued by chronic poverty and famine, and climatic problems such as aridity... I don't get the specific issues regarding the "Politica Da Seca" exposed on this record, maybe a Brazilian reader visiting this blog can provide a little explanation...
While Brazil is now becoming one of the new leading economic power along with China and India,
this record released 10 years ago is still rooted in the Third World side of punk music, the songs range from crude and simple Latino-core to Noise-core, with the participation of Inexistencia Divina and Discarga Violenta. The sound quality is mostly acceptable to raw, a band like Ruptura just used a cassette recorder in the rehearsal room, and the pressing quality is quite poor, resulting in lots of surface noise... well, think i'll just add a good old Meteoro amplifier picture to sum up the whole thing...
