Integral to Brazil's Clube Da Esquina movement in the early 1970s, a heady blend
of progressive rock, folk, psychedelia, jazz and traditional Brazilian rhythm fows
through the three studio albums the band recorded between '70 and '73. Flying
the countercultural freak- fag amid the context of military dictatorship, the
Brazilian prog lords shared much of the sense of experimentation and bountiful
fuzz bequeathed by their Tropicalismo forbearers. But armed with genius
composers, arrangers and stupendously high-level musicianship, Som Imaginário
introduced a potent harmonic complexity to Brazilian popular music, which would
inspire generations of artists to come.
On 4th October 1976, having fnished a spell of recording and touring with Milton
Nascimento, Som Imaginário performed a concert in celebration of Nature Day in
Brasília. The recordings of the show would become "Banda Da Capital", which, for
the past half century, has laid dormant, waiting for its mystical power to be
untapped.
