Developed by African slaves the Capoeira seems more like a graceful dance, rather than a fight, initially created for protection and liberation from the Portuguese surpressors. Pandeiro master, Marcus Suzano, appears together with percussionist Bill Lucas in this song with a strong flavour of Salvador and Bahia. New single from the BRASILICUM album by Erici.

An unexplainable desire for Brazilian sounds brings Swedish producer and songwriter Erici to Brazil. Impressions from his travel, from South East to North Eastern Brazil, makes this conceptual album that mixes Brazilian styles as Samba, Bossa Nova, Maracatú, Forró, Baião and Capoeira with Pop, Jazz and Electronica. Collaborations with musicians in Australia, Brazil and Sweden enables a multimix of Brazilian flavours that reaches far beyond the country border. This is a tribute to Brazilian Popular Music, a nation and its musical treasures.

This debut album by Trio Erici, consists of old traditional tunes from the folk tradition of Öland. Most of the melodies and lyrics were found in the book;” Ölands folkliga visor och melodier genom tiderna” by Göran Rygert and Lars Weinhardt. The book was released in 1987 as a result of the authors five year long effort, collecting traditional songs from Öland. Trio Erici performs some of these melodies in new arrangements with a touch of jazz!
Trio Erici is Harald Erici on piano, Kristin Bertilius on vocal and flute, and Mats Bertilius on double bass.
