Waxpoetics # 36

E aí está ela. Se lhe juntarmos a nova Wire e a pilha de livros que se divide entre a mesinha de cabeceira, a mochila e a secretária (respectivamente Manhattan Transfer de John dos Passos, uma velha cópia de The New Radicals de Paul Jacobs e Saul Landau descoberta recentemente numa loja de velharias e ainda Black Music of Two Worlds de John Storm Roberts e a biografia de Sun Ra de John F Szwed que estou a reler) não vai sobrar muito Verão para tantas páginas. Mas antes assim. A WaxPo promete seriamente:

For our first Brazil Issue, writer David Katz sat down with tropicalia founder Gilberto Gil at his Bahia residence and spoke about the past and present. We talk with the great percussionist Airto Moreira and the brilliant Arthur Verocai, and take a look at soul man Tim Maia. Also: Jards Macale, Ceu, Joyce, Ze Bertrami.
