Maritza Fabiani – O Leilao

Maritza Fabiani

Listen/Download – Maritza Fabiani – O Leiloa

Greetings all.

One of my favorite things over the oast ten years or so is pickingup vintage compilations, i.e. ones released in the 60s, from foreign countries. They are often a great source of unheard beat, garage, psyche and pop, and a wonderful gateway into new (to me) sounds.

One of the finest of these is ‘Os Novos Reis Do Ie Ie Ie – Vol3’ The New Kings of Yeah Yeah Yeah), a compilation of Brazilian pop artists from 1967.
I hadn’t heard of any of the bands/singers on the record, but at ten bucks it was worth taking a chance.

As it turns out the record was packed with a groovy cross section of Brazilian teen sounds of the era.

One of my favorite tracks, with a real au go go flair was ‘O Leilao’ (the Auction) by Maritza Fabiani.

From what I’ve been able to glean (mostly via Google translate) Fabiani performed as a child on Brazilian TV and made the EP from which this song was taken when she was still a teenager.

The translation of the lyrics seems to indicate that the song is about various suitors bidding for Maritza’s hand in marriage.

The music is groovy indeed, with a stomping beat, plenty of combo organ and Maritza’s vocals.

It appears that although she didn’t release many more records under her own name, that she stayed involved in the music industry.

I hope you dig the tune, and if you find thus record in the wild, grab it.

I hope you dig it, and I’ll see you all next week.

Peace

Larry

Greetings all.

Dig – if you will – the latest episode of Testify! my weekly show for WFMU’s Give the Drummer Radio.

Also…

It’s time for the 2017 Funky16Corners Pledge Drive.

Since Iron Leg, and the Iron Leg Radio Show podcast are dependent of the continued health of Funky16Corners, and continue under the banner of the Funky16Corners Radio Network, it behooves me to post these links here, too.

The pledging will also take a slightly different form this year, moving to Patreon (click here or on the logo below to go to the Funky16Corners page) , where you will be able to spread your contributions out over the entire year, which will help cover the ongoing server/broadcast/hardware expenses. This year has seen the upgrade of a couple of crucial pieces of equipment, and any help you fine people can provide will keep the machinery moving here at Funky16Corners central. So please dig deep so we can continue to do the same!

So pull down the ones and zeros, dig it and I’ll see you next week.

Make sure you subscribe to the podcast in iTunes!

Greetings all.

Welcome to this month’s episode of the Iron Leg Radio Show.

 

We enter the 51st episode of the podcast up inside a new headspace (if you will) that finds the ILRS in a trippy, free-form, somewhat dreamy and experimental place (more Venus Flytrap than Johnny Fever).

There are some stylistic surprises (nothing too jarring…) but I think you’ll find yourself drifting away on a pillowy (occasionally dark0 cloud of musical nirvana.

So get your download on, and uplink into your ears.

I hope you dig it.

See you next week.

Peace

Larry

Greetings all.

This week sees the return (by special request) of two of my favorite Iron Leg Digital Trip mixes, #5 and #32, aka The Au Go Go Mixes.

The yearly Funky16Corners Pledge Drive is underway, and since Iron Leg is an important part of the Funky16Corners Blogcasting Network, and depends on the same paid storage space in which to function, I thought it made sense to tie this blog in with the goings on at that (blog).

If you dig what we do here (or there,or in both places) fall by Funky16Corners, click on the Paypal button and drop a coin (or two) in the jukebox (as it were).

It will be greatly appreciated.

Iron Leg Digital Trips numbers 5 and 32 really do belong together, with the latter being intended as a sequel to the former.
They are my take on the Au Go Go vibe of the swinging 60s, with all manner of groovy stuff stitched together from soundtracks, library music, jazz, pop, soul, funk and kitsch.

You can read the original manifesto here.

So mix yourselves up a cocktail, pull down the ones and zeros and I’ll be back next week with some garage punk.

Peace

Larry

Greetings all.

As hard as it may be to believe, it’s already time for the third installment of the Iron Leg Radio Show.

This time out there’s all kinds of groovy ish, from the psyche, to the garage, to vaguely almost kinda prog, to cool stuff from Brazil, freakbeat, Moog and the cusp of heavyosity, all delivered with the kind of sub-Wolfman Jack-ery that you’ve come to expect during the three months that this has been going on.

If you dig what I’m doing here (or not, heaven forfend…) , take a moment to drop me a line.

Requests are welcomed (as long as I have it I’ll play it) and while we’re on the subject, should you also dig the sounds of soul, you might want to skip over to the mothership, aka the Funky16Corners blog and click on the F16C Radio Show tab to pull down the ones and zeros on episodes of the long-running show of the same name that airs every Friday night at 9PM on Viva Radio.

That said, I hope you dig the show, and I’ll be back next week with something cool.

Peace

Larry
