Płyta

"It's not batucada!"

 

The band’s first album entitled "It's not batucada!" featured 10 original instrumental tracks. The band used their typical Brazilian instruments as well as all the best, the ethnic and orchestra percussion worlds have to offer.

 
Ritmodelia’s music on this record holds references to the traditional dance rhythms of the World such as samba or comparsa as well as to the modern club music of funk or jungle. This is a conscious play with rhythms and sounds. The tracks are very diverse an recorded in a unique space. The musical knowledge and the experience of Ritmodelia’s musicians is balanced with the primal energy of the rhythm and the expressive power of a huge percussive orchestra.
 

The recordings were realised and mixed by Mateusz Adamczyk and Sebastian Witkowski in Warsaw in 2009. The special guests featured on the album include Greg Beyer – a composer and professor at the School of Music Northern Illinois University and Scott Kettner- the leader of Maracatu New York.

 

 

The CD is available in music stores: CD Baby, CDUniverse, Serpent, Traffic, Empik and also in mp3 format on Amazon, iTunes Store, Emusic, Napster, Nokia Music Store
