BRASILINTIME: BATUCADA COM DISCOS

(2007, 117 mins, Mochilla, Directed by B+)

Brasilintime is a two-hour documentary that connects the world of Rio de Janeiro of the early 20th century to the South Bronx of the early 1970’s. The roads from Samba through Bossa Nova to hip-hop are a complex web of musical whispers and echoes. In 2000 some of Los Angeles' most revered soul and jazz session drummers came together with some of the city's greatest turntablists. The magic that happened during this first meeting is both homage and discovery. It was filmed and became the acclaimed short "Keepintime: Talking Drums and Whispering Vinyl." In November of 2002, both drummers and DJs travelled to Sao Paulo, Brazil. The purpose of the journey was to expand the multi-generational conversation to include their counterparts from the world of Samba, Bossa Nova and Samba Rock, as well as the best new talent from Brasilian hip hop. This show was recorded and became the basis for this film. Shot in a direct and often experimental way, relying frequently on the use of still photography, the film speaks the language of the music it addresses. Starring Paul Humphrey, James Gadson, Derf Reklaw, Babu, Jrocc, Cut Chemist, Madlib and from Brasil Wilson Das Neves, Ivan Mamao Conti, Joao Parahyba and DJ Nuts
