HI-BRAZIL + World Cup Brazil 2014 = HINÁRIO

CELEBRATORY VIDEO FOR WORLD CUP BRAZIL 2014

HINÁRIO

Eu fui torturado, meu País, massacrado. 

Vilipendiado, explorado. Recursos, esgotados. 

Mas aí eu visto minha camisa (verde e amarelo). 

Pra esquecer que meus bens estão no prelo. 

E torço por um time que faz do esporte um trabalho. 

Enquanto o meu dinheiro  e minha saúde

Vão pra casa do cara (do) alho...

Sou brasileiro! (Eiro! Eiro!)

Sou brasileira! (Eira! Eira!)

Sem eira nem beira!

Moro numa pirambeira

E vivo na pindaíba

Bebo óleo de copaíba

E coliforme que cai no mar

E me alimento de besteira!

E a bola segue certeira

E no fim da canseira

Tem a Taça pra segurar...

LDTS - The Singles - Remix at the aim of randomness

From Top:

"A cold wind blows from the North this spring without flowers in the Southern Hemisphere, while a placid silence settles around. Past, present and future merge as Time dissolves. The target ,mobile, is based on instinct. Breathes fear  and exhales courage. Intuition attentive, reaction holds. Dreary feeling that nurtures the soul. While the heart does the samba in the random compass of life.

Is the aim!"

From Low:

The track LDTS - The Singles was released in 2008, in an EP of remixes of the debut album of HI-BRAZIL, Let's do the Samba!. More than 32,000 people have watched the video for the original song that gives name to the album, which can be watched on the channel that the trio of artists holds on YouTube. And which now, in 2011, will host a visual version of this remix.

Maghma music video at the Indians Day

Hello, friends! The 666 rmx and HI-BRAZIL boys are working hard on production of their new video for the tune Maghma, from Let's do the Samba! album. The music received a brand new extended version and the piece will participate on the Video Indio Brasil 2008 contest, that begins at may, 24. The release of the video will happen at april, 19, a special date for real brazilian people, when we celebrate the Indians Day. You can watch the video at our homepage or our youtube channel.

The storyplay tells about a little indian girl forced to live between captives of a farm in Amazonic Forest. In her pre-adolescence, she was taken away by a couple of colons whose wish was to try better luck at some big city and she knows for the first time the horrors and sadness of the "civilized" way of life. She learned new things, forgot many others. But, in her interior, still was that little simple girl that could know by heart the flavor of juicy fruits taken right of the branches of the trees, and the secrets of the healing herbs.

The years gone by and Rosa, this way called by the couple that "adopted" her, had joined - not without some struggle - to the new reality that was revealed. She get married, had children and grandchildren and, as a modern and urban woman, started to live surrounded by electronic machines and technological gadgets. And then she felt solitude. Laptops, ipods, monitors and cellulars became her new companions and to them she gave the names that she used to call the little forest animals that sometimes did come to play with her, during the happy years living on farm.

A certain day, while she was preparing a special herbs infusion, known only by her, she received an unexpected video chat call. Curious and fearless, she accepted the invite to chat with the mysterious guy that was waiting at the other side of the liquid crystal screen of her laptop. From this moment on, her life would be change in a radical way once more. And, this time, for ever...

Hi-Brazil Gargântula's debut videoclip

It's done now! The videoclip for Gargântula is ready to be experienced. The collage art was made using frames of an old north-american animation, about an old colonialist message. And it seems to be like: "We will catch you by the fear". So, thanks to "pixelization" of the modern culture, we could modify this statement. We would like to thank Ms. Betty Boop and Mr. Bimbo for the excellent acting and comprehension. And the graceful spirit of the Internet who made this frame- and millions of another frames - free and shared for all through Creative Commons licenses.

New videoclip for Gargântula

Olá, guys! HI-BRAZIL is working now at the video release from the tune Gargântula, from their debut album, Let's do the Samba!. The track was recorded at the beginning of the winter in south hemisphere (june), and released at august, reaching 4.097 downloads in 20 days at internet archive. And the counter is growing fast!

"The frighten overlaying vocals were recorded in one single take. The lyrics start to pull out of my throat like little spiders or something, while the pulsing beats of the drums keep boombing inside my head", says Maurício. "I was thinking that day about this tendency of most of humans to minimize important questions like global warm, extreme poverty or large consume of dangerous medicine and modified food...and, by other side, give larger importance to the celebrity news or police and terrorism stuff. That's why this minimal-samba-trance-calypso came out, to talk about the inner power we have to cure ourselves and overcome all this fear, sickness and madness caused by modern civilization".

Salman Ahmad's contest

Salman Ahmad was a founding member of Junoon, a South Asian Band. Salman was appointed U.N. Goodwill Ambassador for HIV/AIDS. He personalized the "I Care, Do You?" U.N. poster campaign in Pakistan by taking the well-know verse of the Koran about reverence for human life and paraphrasing it to say: "Saving one life (from Aids) is like saving the whole of humanity". He is a doctor by graduation, but he decided "to give up his sthetoscope and pick up his guitar", like said this presentation at ccMixter.

Still about ccMixter, Salman released a contest for remixes of the Natchoongi song. And one of our featured artists, Maurício Businari, is taking part of it. Hear the mp3 archive:
