Amazing Songs & Other Delights #81- The Ambients edition by Raquel Pinheiro, Monday 16th @ Yé Yé Radio

Thomas von Wachenfeldt

My radio show Amazing Songs & Other Delights #81 – The Ambients edition airs Monday 16th, 3-4pm (gmt+1) on Yé Yé Radio: yeyeradio.com (or on the app).

Since I received Thomas von Wachenfeldt’s Estradörerna I’ve been listening to it non stop. I knew I one of its pieces was going to open this programme. The choice was Suite no1 in G minor (Jon Erik Hall) I. Visa Air.

Estradörerna has music by three Swedish folk musician – Jon-Erik Öst, Wiktor Öst, and Jon-Erik Hall – arranged for string trio chamber instrumentation by Thomas von Wachenfeldt. It was not chamber, but baroque music, that less to the two final selections.

The show was mostly complete. There were a few possibilities. None seem right, to fit. Returning home by metro an walking, from a concert by Orquesta Barroca Casa da Música playing seven baroque pieces with oboe, some for oboe, there was one of those moments with only the Universal can explain.

Ventos Animais, by Mão Morta and Forças Ocultas by Duplex Longo were the missing links. Each enriched the tapestry of diverse ambients present, allowing for the programme to have a deeper feeling.

Tracklist:
01: Thomas von Wachenfeldt – Suite no1 in G minor (Jon Erik Hall) I. Visa Air
02: Thee Headcoats Sect – Man Trap
03: Afonso Rodrigues e Catarina Salinas – Um Amor Qualquer

“Good evening. Welcome to the spectrum of fascism” – This is how Adolfo Luxúria Canibal greeted the audience at Casa da Música, after several songs from Viva La Muerte, their new conceptual nine songs album being performed.

Adolfo, the band, and male choir were dressed as if part of a revolutionary movement. Adolfo, with an assertive stance, standing on a platform, gestured, and, with his deep, hoarse voice, recited the songs’ lyrics like a speech, akin to a political rally.

It was, undoubtedly, a highly political concert. That is not new for Mão Morta, but not in the fashion of Viva La Muerte. In reality we live in, with, the rise of far-right movements, and the establishment of oligarchies and totalitarian regimes. With Viva La Muerte Mão Morta reaffirm themselves even more as a band of political and social intervention.

The band perfectly reproduced the stylistic variations of the album, ranging from the folk/jazz influences of Liberdade to the doom-like tones of Pensamento Único. Between songs, various recordings of thinkers, philosophers, and revolutionaries, such as Tim Leary and Angela Davis, further emphasized the political context of the show.

The concert followed the album’s sequence, opening with Deus Pátria Autoridade with its choral voices, and closing with Viva La Muerte!, the title track. Thus, the finale echoed with the sentence “Ninguém nasceu para ser servil e morrer” (“Nobody was born to be servile and die”)repeated until the last chord—a final message to take home and into life.

Viva La Muerte:
01: Deus Pátria Autoridade
02: Corre Corre Corre
03: É Proibido
04: Ressentidos e Ressabiados
05: A Liberdade
06: Pensamento Único
07: Líder Povo Nação
08: Ratoeira Bélica
09: Viva La Muerte!
