Próximo by Arthus Fochi, cajupitanga
''The Bahian duo Cajupitanga, from Vitória da Conquista, are relative newcomers. Arthus Fochi, a Brazilian who lives in Denmark, has been around for a decade, and although they have never met in person this is an intriguing meeting of different generations. Próximo is yet another collaborative effort (...) it works remarkably well; its fragmentation working to its advantage. Fochi would send instrumental improvisations for the duo to rework. Then they would create collages, cut-ups, and overlay sounds. The tracks range from experimental glitchiness to loose-limbed sambas, like “Flamengo” for example.'' SOUNDS AND COLOURS
