Manchaca, Vol. 2 (A Compilation of Boogarins Memories, Dreams, Demos and Outtakes from Austin, TX)

Album

Release year: 2021

Manchaca Vol. 2, the second half of an archival-release series, focuses on Boogarins’ approach to songwriting rooted in improvisation and in-studio collaboration. The album brings together music from the recording sessions for Lá Vem a Morte (OAR, 2017) / Sombrou Dúvida (OAR, 2018) made in Austin, TX between 2016–2017, along with pre-production/rehearsal sessions for Sombrou Dúvida, held in 2017 at Fábrica de Sonhos studio in São Paulo.

Songs like “Correndo em Fúria” and “Meto o Loco” are based on improvisations made during the filming of the short film “Boogarins at Casa das Janelas Verdes” (2017). Re-recorded by the band in Austin, TX, they were refined and gained new arrangements and sonic textures.

Manchaca Vol.2 is not a compilation of unfinished, unreleased tracks, but a vivid album that goes beyond psychedelia and celebrates the great cultural chimera at the core of Brazilian pop music.
