Grupo Um - Nineteen Seventy Seven (2026) [Hi-Res]

The Brazilian ensemble Grupo Um presents the archival album "Nineteen Seventy Seven," recorded during a period of intense political censorship and military dictatorship. Created by alumni of Hermeto Pascoal’s collective, the work is a radical instrumental fusion that blends traditional Afro-Brazilian rhythms, such as samba and maracatu, with avant-garde modular synthesizer experiments. Recorded live without overdubs due to technical constraints, the album serves as a symbol of artistic resistance. The group's music demonstrates a pioneering approach to integrating electroacoustics into jazz structures, remaining an aesthetically significant manifesto of independent art free from commercial boundaries.
