Amazing Songs & Other Delights #20 The They Play a Telecaster, So Does Carlos edition by Carlos Fortes & Raquel Pinheiro @ mixcloud

The beautiful Telecaster that illustrates this show belongs to Carlos Fortes (Mão Morta/um zero amarelo). Carlos and I picked 25 songs played/written with a Telecaster or predominantly played/written with one, including two of his – Sem Perdão by Um Zero Amarelo chosen by him and Budapeste by Mão Morta chosen by me. Our 25 songs include Prince’s iconic Hohner Madcat Telecaster, Carlos’ own Fender Telecaster with custom build Bula pickup and 5-position switch installation, also from the hands of Bula – a friend of Carlos who custom builds pickups. Telecasters with B-Benders are also represented. We included a variety of players and eras to showcase the History and versatility of the Telecaster and created over one and an half hour of songs with a Telecaster and those who play it. See tracklist for more info on players and guitars.

“We’re Boogarins, from Goiânas”. Well-paced riffs, rubbing against pop-rock sounds, quickly captivated everyone who came to CCOP. “It’s hot in here” said, a smiling Fernando “Dinho” Almeida to the pick up lines the audience – with a strong Brazilian presence – that filled the room threw at him. Lulled by the caramelized voice of “Dinho”, shoulders and hips surrendered to the enchanting lullaby of the band from Goiânia. The quartet, in a peaceful symbiosis with the audience, played several songs from Manchaca compilation (Vol.1 and 2) including from their albums Lá Vem Morte (2017) and Sombrou Dúvida (2019), along with new songs, performed with a virtuosity full of freshness for about an hour and a half, including a well-deserved encore.

If the Boogarins’ sound discourse carries some resonances, like Tame Impala, the creativity and freshness with which they roam the universal territories of psychedelic rock is undeniable, tempered with the uniqueness of the voice and stage presence of “Dinho”, lending them a very particular solar character that has given the band deserved international recognition, performing in stages such as Paredes de Coura, Rock in Rio or Lollapaloza.

The duo Baleia Baleia Baleia performed in Maus Hábitos before a well filled room. Stripped of his experimentalist heteronym of O Manipulador, Manuel Molarinho’s bilingual voice and bass and Ricardo Cabral’s drums brought to the stage a fresh punk that quickly heated the venue. Barechested on stage, irony and vitality, pantomime and authenticity; Baleia Baleia Baleia went through the tracks of their latest album Suicídio Comercial in an energetic and competent tone slightly evocative of the 80s, left more interesting by the live performance.

“Somos os Boogarins, de Goiânas”. Os riffs bem ritmados, a roçar sonoridades pop-rock, cativaram rapidamente todos quantos acorreram ao CCOP no passado dia 10. “Aqui está quente”, soltou, sorridente, Fernando “Dinho” Almeida no rescaldo dos piropos lançados pela assistência – com forte presença brasileira – que lotou a sala. Embalados pela voz caramelizada de “Dinho”, ombros e ancas entregaram-se ao embalo encantatório da banda oriunda de Goiânia. O quarteto, numa tranquila simbiose com o público, interpretou diversos temas incluídos na compilação Manchaca (Vol.1 e 2), incluindo temas dos seus álbuns Lá Vem Morte (2017) e Sombrou Dúvida (2019), assim como alguns temas inéditos, interpretados com um virtuosismo pleno de frescura ao longo de cerca de hora e meia, incluindo um encore, merecido.

Se o discurso sonoro dos Boogarins transporta algumas ressonâncias, como Tame Impala, é inegável a criatividade e a frescura com que passeiam os territórios universais do rock psicadélico, temperado com a singularidade da voz e presença em palco de “Dinho”, emprestando-lhes um carácter solar muito particular que lhes tem oferecido o merecido reconhecimento internacional, atuando em palcos diversos, como em Paredes de Coura, Rock in Rio ou Lollapaloza.

A dupla Baleia Baleia Baleia atuou nos Maus Hábitos para uma sala bem composta. Despido do heterónimo experimentalista de O Manipulador, a voz e o baixo bilingue de Manuel Molarinho e a bateria de Ricardo Cabral trouxeram para o palco um punk fresquinho que rapidamente aqueceu o espaço. Troncos nus em palco, ironia e vitalidade, pantomina e autenticidade; os Baleia Baleia Baleia percorreram temas do seu último álbum “Suicídio Comercial” num registo algo evocativo das sonoridades dos anos 80, enérgico e competente, que a textura da atuação ao vivo torna mais interessante.
