Vinyl Listening Room: Clube Da Esquina – a legendary Brazilian album

by

A vinyl listening session of this incredible Brazilian record, one of the few Brazilian albums to make the list of “1001 Albums to Listen To Before You Die.”
Heavily influenced by The Beatles, regional Brazilian folk music, classical, and progressive rock, you’ll learn about the making of the record from scholars of this music and learn why this album is considered an inflection point for so much Brazilian music that came after it. Du Gregori will help explain lyrical and cultural context from the Brazilian perspective.
If you’re already familiar with this album, you’ll leave seeing it in a new light. If you’re not familiar, you’ll get to experience it for the first time on an incredible system with people who truly love it.
Suggestion donation of $10
