Se Acabou by João Selva

Inspired by the protest songs of the sixties and the orchestral universe of circus music, songwriter Joao Selva is releasing a mini album in the form of a pamphlet aimed at the current Brazilian president. The 4 original tracks intend to address lightness and benevolence to the debate that is shaking Brazilian society in this year of presidential elections. Expect some catchy choruses to sing along or to chant in demonstrations, whatever the form, the main thing being to definitively turn this sad page in the history of Brazil.

Produced by Patchworks, the album opens with the rock song Bozo Vaza ("get out Bolsonaro") and continues with the carnival march Se Acabou ("it's over") where fantastic animals celebrate the fall of the "captain". A song that comes with a banger version remixed by Sao Paulo’s producer Pedro Bertho (Furie, Cracki Records). The falsely naive ballad Na Prisão closes the album not without humour with a dreamy and psychedelic air, imagining the current president in prison with finally time to think.

Somewhere, we get back to the carioca João Selva where we left him: sailing on the mythical Black Atlantic to create exhilarating music whose vibrations invite us to Rio, the Brazilian Northeast, the Caribbean, Cape Verde or even Angola.
