Anar Band e E.M. de Melo e Castro – Dou Dou Doudo: Ao Vivo Na Cooperativa Árvore – LP

This record documents a concrete action, a snapshot of the agitation, something we have no problem calling punk activism, something which allowed two people with little to no musical training to play and record music. By then, Anar Band had managed to release their only LP, in 1977. It’s this performance, however, that reveals the naked rawness of the music: improvisation, mutual listening and choice of intervention between both musicians and Melo e Castro, clearly sensing when the synth has to change tone, the voice has to make pauses, the guitar punctuates both and finds the space to… scream. The sound was captured by the film crew, addding to the rawness: the instruments are palpable, the voice often too close to the mic. Everything was preserved. First time on disc!
