Aprende from Juicy / Aprende by Alex Figueira
A swinging mix of melancholic calypso jazz, traditional forró, roots rockers reggae and guaguancó. Imagine Jamaican melodica icon Augustus Pablo, calypso jazz godfather Ciryl Diaz and Brazilian legend Jackson do Pandeiro hanging around barely lit bars of questionable reputation in an unknown city, randomly placed in the extensive Kingston - Salvador da Bahia axis. They meet a group of lifelong skateboarders and receive a stoic sounding piece of advice that lifts their moods significantly: “to learn, you have to fall”.

Lyrics
I was here mixing this track and when it got to this part I said, look, what this needs is a little chorus, but a very tasty one. Then I remembered a message I was given when I was a kid and used to go skateboarding. The older skaters, that could do all the tricks, used to tell us “to learn you have to fall” and I would scratch my head and say “dude but how many times do we have to fall?”, “as many as necessary”. Well, now as a grown up I’ll tell you like this, with groove ''learn from your mistakes”.
