Far Out Recordings present a reissue of
Piri
's
Voces Querem Mate?
, originally released in 1970. Over the course of the '60s,
Roberto Quartin
released more than 20 albums in Brazil on his label Forma, by artists including the likes of
Eumir Deodato
and
Quateto Em Cy
. Selling the rights of Forma to Polygram in 1969, Quartin struck out for pastures new at the dawn of the 1970s with the launch of his self-titled label. Significant works and high-water marks for Brazilian music overall followed in that decade's first year, with
Victor Assis Brasil
's 1970 album
Toca
(FARO 195LP),
Antonio Carlos Jobim
, and
Jose Mauro
's 1970 album
Obnoxius
(FARO 191CD/LP). These singular gems in Brazilian music, difficult to categorize yet compellingly haunting, have for too long gone unheard. The third release in the series - following the aforementioned albums by Jose Mauro and Victor Assis Brasil - is
Piri
's
Vocês Querem Mate?
, a highly sought after jewel of twisted psychedelic MPB.
Vocês Querem Mate?
, the first recording by the relatively unknown singer songwriter
Piry Reis
, is dreamy and ethereal, groovy Brazilian psych-folk at its finest. Reis has collaborated with greats like
Egberto Gismonti
and
Robertinho Silva
, and had his music performed by
Celia
,
Charlie Haden
, and
Jan Garbarek
. His four solo albums are all rare as hens' teeth and have been known to fetch a hefty bounty, but none higher than his debut, and for good reason. Instantly captivating from its first second, the lone trembling piano in "Reza Breva" builds a tremendous tension before bursting into the joyously funky tropicalista folk jam that keeps up throughout the album. Flying the Brazilian freak flag high are percussion kings
Juquina
and
Wilson Das Neves
, along with
Paulinho Jobim
and
Danilo Caymmi
on flutes. It's a dazzling, lucid piece of escapism, as necessary today as it was when released into the tumultuous political climate of 1970s Brazil. Tracks like "As Incríveis Peripécias De Danilo" and "Cupído Esculpido" are tripped out MPB at its most decadent, and more sombre moments like "Sombra Morta" and closer "Chão Vermelho" offer shadier melancholic contrasts. Without a doubt the most free-spirited release in the Quartin catalog,
Voces Querem Mate?
is a forgotten treasure of Brazilian music of the highest order. Remastered from the original 2" tapes.
