A Barca Do Sol / Pirata (1979)

Brazil

Progressive Folk, Progressive Rock, Psychedelic Folk

In this album, all the musicality of the group is filled with 'Brazilianities' such as flute melodies to the rhythm of berimbau or Prog mixed with cavaquinho and typical samba percussion. Strange combination? Yea! But also exciting, original and necessary!

After this third album, the group ended its activities and many musicians who were part of the band's formation (such as Jaques Morelenbaum, Nando Carneiro and Ritchie), followed successful careers within Brazilian music.

A Barca Do Sol / A Barca Do Sol (1974)

Brazil

Progressive Folk, Progressive Rock, Psychedelic Folk

Progressive folk band A Barca Do Sol formed in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 1973, disbanded in 1981. The band A Barca do Sol was formed by musicians playing different genres. Creating and performing sophisticated pieces where instrumental choral variations meet with progressive rock, the group also had an important place in Geraldo Carneiro's lyrics. The first LP, A Barca Do Sol was released in 1974. The album included the band's most successful song, "Lady Jane" (Nando Carneiro / Geraldo Carneiro). This was followed by Durante O Verão (1976) and Pirata (1979), both reissued in CD format in the 90s.

A Barca Do Sol music is a complex, mostly acoustic, choral-oriented music genre. The group consists of a cellist, Jaques Morelembaum, a flutist David Ganc, a flutist Ritchie, a violinist Nando Carneiro, and two brothers Muri Costa and Marcelo Costa. They are somewhat similar to Jethro Tull, who seem to have been heavily influenced by Folk, but due to the type of instruments used.

If you like folk and creative instrumentation, you should definitely listen to A Barca Do Sol.
