Eduardo Araujo - Sou Filho Desse Chao

Embark on a vibrant auditory journey with Eduardo Araújo's and Silvinha's Sou Filho Dêsse Chão, a 1976 masterpiece teeming with Brazilian soul and global rhythms.

This album marks a captivating chapter in the careers of Eduardo and Silvinha Araújo, both integral to Brazil’s Jovem Guarda movement of the 1960s. While Eduardo rode the waves of rock-infused success with hits like "O Bom" and later ventured into funk and soul with releases like "A Onda É Boogaloo", Silvinha steadily carved out her niche with a series of heartfelt albums. Together, they crafted this cult classic, drawing inspiration from a journey to Salvador, Bahia, making it an eclectic tapestry of sound.

With help from influential musicians like Dominguinhos on accordion and Dirceu Medeiros on drums, Sou Filho Dêsse Chão expertly blends regional Brazilian sounds with contemporary funk, rock, and psychedelia. Tracks such as the groovy "O Tempo Que Esse Tempo Tem", the accordionic charm of the title track "Sou Filho Desse Chão", and the intoxicating “Capoeira” showcase their seamless genre fusion and dynamic vocal interplay. But it’s the hypnotic, spacey vibe of "Opanigê" that captured global attention, later sampled by Madlib for his track "São Paulo".

Sou Filho Dêsse Chão didn't initially storm the commercial charts, yet it has undeniably solidified its legacy as a treasured LP. This vinyl edition invites collectors and new listeners to feel the heartbeat of Brazilian musical heritage, expressed through the unique lens of Eduardo and Silvinha’s artistic vision.
