Hi guys! Im here today realizing a big dream
been with this band
im here with a blues band who has 32 years of career
The biggest blues band of the history of Brazil.
The biggest brazilians blues cd sellers in our history here in Brasil
their influences include to drink a lot in the Muddy Waters font.
They're Greg Wilson (from Mississipi)
Flávio Guimarães
Otávio Rocha
E com Claúdio Bedran.
You the slide guitar man!
the greathiest slide guitar man in the hole world.
In my building I am one of the two (laughing)
Although Zézinho has improved a lot
( lol) (lol) (lol)
Let's talk about 1989?
Ribeirão Preto Blues Festival
Which was a watershed in your story
Where you played with Buddy Guy
And the legend goes that on that occasion you excited the audience even more than Buddy himself.
after that your career change to better
And became a watershed not just in your carrer but in the brazilian blues too.
cause was when Brazil discovered the Blues songs... Sorry!
So, everybody who wants to learn blues needs to listen to you guys, im wrong?
What happened was that when we put up the band
in 1985
1986
The blues was a very rare business in Brazil, there were practically no bands
I mean, professionals, taking this really seriously
This festival of 1989 is really a watershed, because it had coverage of large media groups, (which did not happen before)
press conference, midia from whole Brazil
it was really widespread
It was a moment when brazilians said, Oh Blues, nice!
it has to do with rock
And we where there
so happy, and honored to open a Buddy Guy show
It was so nice, a festival who had
Junior Wells, Albert Collins, Etta James
Uau man! I got dead!
with their big bands,
other times.
cause nowadays we have many festivals where only the master artist goes
yes, today, here in Brazil is not that easy do the good music.
Sometimes it takes the whole band, which would be the ideal.
But, in that time, you have that cast together was an unique thing.
Ribeirão Preto (SP) 1989's Blues Festival
3 chords and three notes changed in twelve bars
In this skeleton fit the most delusional improvisations of the blues man
So simple, that the first Brazilian blues festival
Could only roll even in an inner city,
The heat comes from the voice of Etta James
goes through Magic Slim & Albert Collins
And is tempered with the brazilians André Cristovão and from the do Blues Etílicos
finishes in Junior Wells bagpipe
And catch fire at the incomparable performance of Buddy Guy
I have a question for you guys, from Daniel Roland, a reputed musical director here in Rio de Janeiro.
Who is competing for a great award in Brasil by the Josephine's Baker Musical
He would like to know from you about the matter of Brazilian Blues Today?
That's the way it is, we have blues bands in several countries here by south america and worldwide.
Is a genre that has worldwide audience
And in Brazil, it's amazing how it has grown since we started playing until today
The amount of bands, artists and festivals out there.
So I think the people likes it, 'Cause rocknroll was turning into other things
Going through a series of metamorphoses and who likes classic rock, ends up
sympathizing with the blues.
- Yeah!
Yes, Definetely!
Flávio you as everyone here in your respective areas are references, played with a lot of people, right?
As you are the bagpipe
So when someone needs a super harmonica they go to you.
Flávio Guimarães Is the greatest reference in the Brazilian blues harmonica
in the 1980s you had great instrumentalists of chromatic harmonica,
And the blues harmonica, the rock harmonica, the harmonica that Bob Dylan uses.
That the Rolling Stones uses, this type of harmonica had very little here in Brazil
So, therefore, I believe that with the Blues Etílicos, I had this evidence ...
And the people I believe said, well there's that guy, who plays that other type of bagpipe
that is more rockn roll
So a lot of work came out, anyway ...
Ps: This program is called Pingue Pongue com as Doidas.
Something as C of Crazy.
Guys, How do you see yourself in this role of representing a style, influencing young people, been a reference?
Do you feel any pressure?
Cláudio: I dont think so!
Otávio: I like this thing!
To know that even a little bit, we help to build and inflate what exists today in the country about blues.
Otávio: Not that it was just from us, but, we had a good fit
Because from the moment you are recognized, people become aware that you exist, and then you begin to influence them in some way
And what about to deal of your ego guys, in that time?
As my father always said: Beware of failure do not rise your head.
Uou! Its a great thing to say...
What about the guitars?
Greg: So, who can tell about the guitars is Otávio, he buys one by week
Taís: but you are base guitar...
Otávio: He is a great guitar solo, but he is too lazy!
We are a band when the guitar solos dont want to play solo...
So, I end up having to
The band actually was very much related to the Greg's voice, the Flávio's harmonica and with the slide
So, in a way it is part of the sound of the band, so we have to do. But what I really like is playing base guitar and Greg's too!
Even if in his solo work, Greg deals a lot with guitar solos.
they are all, individuals references as well, in their on respective musical instrument.
Fe: People, for those who do not know he is considered one of the best slide guitarists in the world
Otávio: No, just of my building, not the word. No No no!
Fe: What's slide?
Otávio: No! not from the world!
Fernanda: The google says that!!Not me!
Otávio: is a tub of glass or acrylic or metal, in short of various types of materials that you can use to slide on the ropes.
Greg: With different settings.
Otávio: As Flávio said, when we started, not only did the blues not exist properly in Brazil, but the blues-related things did not either.
So we thought how to play the blues in the right way, in a way close to the Americans who were who invented the sound. You know?
We were learning by ourselves, on the go.
Claudío: We didn't have youtube tutorials!
Otávio: Yeh, and no shows as well, so all of this part of making that sounds blues, we have to develop.
and so this part is so important cause I'm up to the current generation that has everything easier!
Attention: This part became few seconds without sound dude of a copyright required by youtube.
Atenção: Esta parte possui alguns segundos sem som devido a um reclame relacionado a direitos autorais pelo youtube.
Talking about Greg's guitars. When his favorite Fender was made etc...
Greg: My Fender was made in 1963 as a special series.
The guitar was disassembled, so you rode it as you wanted.
Fe: You could costumize...
Greg: Yeah
And the other one was a copy of a telecaster Fender a gift from Otávio
Otávio: I thought in that time: 20years playing together i have never give him anything so thats the moment
Taís: Nice friendship!
Greg: Yes, I play with its all the time
Otávio: The guitar is a replication from de Muddy Water's favorite ones.
I asked to a luthier friend of us to make it and I gave to Greg.
Fernanda: luthier guys, is someone who made handmade bass, guitar etc...
Guys: yes yes, stringed instruments
Fernanda: You've seen, we (me andTais) are not that dumb, right?
Tais: Yes, we are learning something in this life.
Fernanda: And what about you sir?
Tais: sir?
Cláudio: I had a dog who was called Sir. He was a shepherd dog.
Fe: nice!!
Cláudio: (laugh)
a good shepherd was Sir. Sir was my shepherd!
Fe: Oh, I understood now. And anything could missing to you....
I love Gretsch's guitar. I'm very passionate about it!
its a kind of guitar... Its a GRETSCH e Gibson.
Fe: cause we'd like to finish with this guitar subject, what about your guitar influencers?
From when you begun till now! There are someone in this times who take your attention?
Greg: How much time do we have?
Fe: No, please, tell me someone ...
Greg: They are many, and it is a mix of everything you have heard since when you were learning and such .....
At first I did not even listen to much blues or anything I really liked jazz guitarists as...
Larry Carlton, Lee Ritenour
I really liked that sound
That is, Larry Carlton even has a lot of blues in his sound.
Otávio: Steven Dean right? He recorded with Steven Dean?
Greg: yes, he did it, many times.
And then, all the biggest from the rock, blues, i couldn't tell you this.
I really couldnt
Otávio: When I was a child, the man who made me have the feirce and will to play was Johnny Winters.
I had cousins who were exiled during the dictatorship period in Brazil and they sent me records
when some of then came to Brazil to vacation they used to bring disks, that we didint have here.
And that's how I met Johnny Winters, and since then that sound made a big sense to me.
And only later that I went to know through them the Sonny Boy Williamson.
That I had never heard, that kind of blues thing so more root. It was fantastic!
But of guitar itself, it was Johnny Winters when I was a child
Nice!
Fe: What about our current guitar players, is there someone playing you could tell us
Otávio: I was always really enthusiast for base guitarists as Peter Towsend (The Who)
Malcolm Young (AC/DC)
Claudio: Make some joke about a guitar legend who they love from Allman Brothers.
Otávio: Ah, ok slide guitar?
But I can not even say that he influences me, because he's so from another planet. Beyond.
Derek Trucks!
Derek Trucks!
This man is oh! A monster!
Taís: Your bass influncer? Tell us everything Claudio...
Claúdio: About brand o Fender Precision jazz bass I realy like, but now I have a Hoffmann too.
And another ones that are handmade.
But the classicals to me are Fender Jazz Bass or Fender precision to play this kind o sound, Im ok.
Fe: What about the acoustic contrabass? So cool?
Oh, this one I would have to study insanely, it gives a lot of work, it does not have frets
I choose, don't!
Greg: It gives us some tendonitis isn'it?
Cláudio: (laugh). Yes, i"m ok! let it be!
Bass players? I like that woman, who recording in studio? whats her name? ....Carol
Fe: A woman! Yes!
Otávio: Carol Springfield! (laugh)
A bass woman who use to record with The Doors, to movies, she played with "palletes" in a Fender.
Was a kinda of style that I started to observe to learn how did she do that.
Cause now I'm playing with palletes
Flávio: She recorded a lot with The Beach Boys
Cláudio: That's it!
Fe: Beach Boys from 60's?
Claúdio: yes, from 60's, 70's!
Flávio: It was very good, the bands use to had a gret musician, and anothers not that good
And so the record producer used to take those musicians to record the disks.
Claudio: Exactly!
I liked this story so I watched a documentary, i don t remember the name
My memory is a shit!
laugh
laugh
So I told about her, for being a woman, for making a big story inside the rockn roll.
A place where until then to be white, Anglo Saxon would be better seen at the time, but she went there and did it.
Then they saw that woman looking conservative, playing the instrument, but the Doors bassist will see who it was on the tape, it was her.
Thats a good story!
Fe: And guys living or surviving of blues in the country of the "Sertanejos songs"?
Flávio: The Brazilian Music is increasingly in a monoculture system.
the "Sertanejo" is strong and it was even strange for the great artists of Brazilian music
that had their space, if we may say so ... reduced...
A marketable phenomenon, it is clear that it has large corporations behind it, Who usually get a lot out of it.
So it is inevitable! But the good music is always happens.Brazil is large and we have our space!
Greg: Not always appearing, but, always happening.
There are many people who really looking at the music as an art form, knowing it , not necessarily just as a product by itself
Taís: fortunately
Cláudio: A cool thing about the internet is that it creates a niche of people interested in this type of sound, for example.
Formerly if something did not play in the main television stations, or radios nobody would have access, today is already different!
And nowadays is completely diferent cause, if a man from New Zeland for example, would like to download our song, he can do it!
That's the nice side!
Taís: It's a good thing from technology, free, more democratic
We have the good and the bad side. The bad thing is that, there is a lot going on, all the time, but there's also a lot of good stuff going on and you can listen to.
We would love to have you guys giving us the honor of a song, please!
Taís: Oh, Im looking at this! Looks like a gift to us!
Flávio: yes, they are!
Taís: Thank you!
Flávio! This is a Blues Etílicos playing Muddy Watters, and the other one is my instrumental album with Neto Rockfeller.
So nice! So good!
Lets play?
Flávio: It's a little difficult to play without the other instruments, because we are not a vocal group.!
But we just brought the harmonica!
