    Sacassaia na MTV IGGY

    A MTV mundial entrou em contato avisando que o SACASSAIA estava disputando, com outros artistas do mundo, uma matéria de capa no site MTV IGGY. Tudo aconteceria por uma votação popular, no próprio site. O mais votado, levaria. E levamos, há! Com 77% dos votos, é nóis na MTV!

    Sacassaia’s debut album Sampleando Deus e o Mundo is a cross-section of every popular sound on the globe. Five languages, countless genres — from samba to electro to hip hop — and multi-ethnic backgrounds cram themselves into the LP, resulting in a special breed of crowded, pan-cultural magic.

    Now living in Brazil, these MCs/producers recently won our Artist of the Week contest. We spoke to them about corruption, Michael  Jackson, and gringos in Brazil. Here’s what they had to say!

    Sacassaia na rádio americana NPR

    A rádio estatal americana NPR fez um programa especial esses dias sobre a nova música Brasileira. Apresentado por Jasmine Garsd, com a participação do produtor musical brasileiro Béco Dranoff, o programa Alt Latino destacou artistas como Karina Buhr, Mombojó, Lucas Santtana e, pra nossa felicidade, SACASSAIA.

    Gardenel and Horta had been playing together since 2001. In 2004 (with DJ Mak) they founded the Hip-Hop/Dancehall project EmMassa Produções, which lasted until 2008, and left Geraldo with the task of producing an album which had already been selected by the Brasilia Cultural Bureau for public subsidy. A new group had to be formed to compose it.     

     

     

    Roballo, surprised by the whole idea, jumped in. Quite apprehensive but feeling challenged by the whole thing, because of his musical creation background which was almost exclusively linked to IDM, and the Minimal Disco-Punk scene. An eclectic listener however, he was motivated by the idea of broadening his horizons as a composer.

    Then the creation process began. They had the budget for a 12 track album, they now had the group, but the group had no name. No rush about it. Composing was the priority then. 

     

    Between March and June of 2008 the 12 tracks were created, recorded, mixed and mastered. A thousand copies were issued as accorded by the Brasilia Cultural Bureau’s subvention contract. After much debate, voting, numerological and kabbalistic consultations, the group had a name - Sacassaia - name of a species of army ant (known as Marabunta in the U.S.) , extracted from Mário de Andrade’s book Macunaíma: “Sadeness, like a sacassaia raid, came to the taba devouring even silence itself”.
