DANCING IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN! Or not? Tonight is my favourite day of the year for DJing, as it's that special Friday where there's a general TANZVERBOT in German, in memory or he who died at the cross. So, officially , you are not allowed to dance.

We'll celebrate playing tunes with my friend @riembauet at my favourite μπαράκι @misirloubar -- join us, from 21:00 or so.

It can go two ways: either we take the opportunity to play the undanceable, or we go for the irresistible and check how long it takes you to sin.

Crazy how it's 2026, there's about 300.000 Brazilian records in that online record database that we all built, and yet it's not complete.

I'll be using these undocumented 7"s to replenish the heavily depleted crates of Brazilian goodies that I'll take to the upcoming @recordplanet fair; I'll also do a good deed for record nerdiness and add them to that database, yes. Sharing is caring, right? RIGHT???

BERLIN 26.03 @klunkerkranich

To all Brazilian music enthusiasts:

We have another in-store concert coming up, this time with instrumentalist Mauricio Fleury. We’ve known each other since the release of the Bixiga 70 albums around 2011. Since then, Mauricio has been a key figure in the São Paulo music scene and is now based in Berlin.

He recently released his solo album Revoada on Altercat, and we’re very much looking forward to welcoming him for a live performance in our store basement.

Attendance is limited, so please reserve your spot via reservation@rushhour.nl.

After the concert, stick around for a small dance session with Palo Santo and Edo Vintage Voudou.

Via Brazil w/ Mauricio Fleury
📍 RH Store Basement, Spuistraat 110
🗓 Wednesday 18/02
🕕 18:00–20:00

For fans of: Azymuth

Revoada sees Maurício Fleury settling into his own language.
A São Paulo musician rooted in Brazilian jazz, MPB and instrumental music, shaped by years with Bixiga 70 and sessions with Gal Costa and João Donato.
Considered and confident, without ever losing ease. One that gives more the longer you sit with it. Tip!

Perfect couples #3. Because there's many kinds of love and they are all fine.

Salve Naná!! Glad we could make this work. These three give a great insight into the evolution of the Brazilian giant during his early years, before he had his total breakthrough. Oh boy, he know what he was doing.

Very last copies of the Incredible Naná LP with Agustín Pereyra Lucena. Just saying. Only ten left, then it's gone forever. Don't say I didn't tell you. Visit www.alter.cat for yours ;-)

Perfect couples #3. There's some couples that despite being different find common ground and complement each other.

The link between these two is Matías of course, freshly arrived in Buenos Aires from Chile. The albums were recorded just months apart. Both show new directions in jazz in Latin America, the need to explore new territory whilst remaining firmly rooted in their own identity. Viejas Raíces (volume 1 coming soon insha'Allah!) being more out there, and Pelo de Rata being more personal and introspective -- yes, but they fit so well.

Perfect couples #2. Love everywhere. It's the season!

These two are very different, yet they have so much in common. In their essence. They both share the creative force of the duo Chivo Borraro - Fernando Gelbard (what a team!!), with Blues para un Cosmonauta having the added Brazilian soul of Stendio Mendes.

So glad we could bring these two back to life, but very sad that Chivo Borraro didn't get to see this happening, would have loved to hear his memories.

Perfect couples #1. A homage to love, in a way. There's some records that just belong together and can't be understood without each other.

This is such a pair. Coraje was the sequel to Bronca, and it was silenced for fifty years. Glad we fixed it and let the courage speak out.
