Though it's her only known studio recording of the decade, 'O Filho Do Homem' is one of several unreleased compositions Mazzotti and her band performed on TV Cultura and Programa MPB during the 80s. These performances showed Mazzotti had transitioned towards a harder edged and more daringly experimental sound in this period, while keeping the core components of samba, jazz and funk that characterised her two studio albums from the 1970s, Ninguem Vai Me Segurar (1974) and the self titled Ana Mazzotti (1977). This evolved 80s sound had evidently taken a similar path to that of her contemporaries and mentors, like Azymuth, whose keyboardist José Roberto Bertrami arranged her debut album, and Hermeto Pascoal who described her as \"a super musician.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Far Out Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Black | 7\"","offer_id":50459375599947,"sku":"1139494","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/decf1528-eac1-46f2-89db-664f68df0e63_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727221131"},{"product_id":"ninguem-vai-me-segurar","title":"Ninguem Vai Me Segurar","description":"\u003cp\u003eFar Out Recordings present an official reissue of Ana Mazzotti's \u003ci\u003eNinguem Vai Me Segurar\u003c\/i\u003e, originally released in 1974. An artist as imaginative and unique as Ana Mazzotti doesn't come around often. Dubbed a \"super-musician\" by fellow Brazilian virtuoso Hermeto Pascoal, Mazzotti's short but rich musical career culminated in just two studio albums: \u003ci\u003eNinguem Vai Me Segurar\u003c\/i\u003e (1974), and \u003ci\u003eAna Mazzotti\u003c\/i\u003e (1977). Outside circles of Brazilian funk aficionados, these two gems of spellbinding samba-jazz, lysergic funk and trippy bossa have remained relatively obscure. This was partly as a result of Mazzotti's premature death (she lost her battle with cancer in her mid-thirties), but also due to financial restraints and the prejudice she faced as a female songwriter in a fundamentally sexist society. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore moving to Sao Paulo to start her career proper, Mazzotti met drummer, producer, and fellow music educator Romido Santos, who she would later marry. Romildo introduced Mazzotti to jazz, and music by the likes of Chick Corea and Hermeto Pascoal who she would later befriend and perform with. In 1974, Mazzotti recorded her first album \u003ci\u003eNinguem Vai Me Segurar,\u003c\/i\u003e enlisting the in-demand arrangement talents of Azymuth's original keyboard maestro Jose Roberto Bertrami. It also features Azymuth's bassist Alex Malheiros and percussionist Ariovaldo Contestini, with Romildo Santos who produced the album on drums. Recorded in Estudio Haway around the same time Azymuth recorded their debut album there, it's no wonder the samba jazz-funk pioneer's distinctive aesthetic is present throughout, and Mazzotti's sensational compositions are made even more beautiful for it. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Far Out Recordings","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50464495468875,"sku":"1073189","price":32.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50464496451915,"sku":"1073190","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/ac2630a5-53e8-49b3-8d33-63d4a475903a_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727275566"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/collections\/ana-mazzotti.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
