The infectious, uplifting energy of the instrumental track 'Garoto Do Pife' has been a dancefloor weapon for revered selectors such as Gilles Peterson, Cliffy and the Mr Bongo DJs, and we are proud to be reissuing it for the first time. The pífano, pifaro or pife, which creates the distinctive melodies in these tracks, is a simple seven-hole woodwind instrument from the Northeast region of Brazil. Often made out of bamboo or taquara wood, they are rich in folkloric music tradition and paired with percussion instruments to form the Bandas de Pífanos groups, which originated from the Northeastern states of the country. \"Pifeiros\" such as Joao do Pife, Edmilson do Pífano, and Carlos Malta brought the pífano into a wider public eye through their albums and vinyl recordings.A part of pífano maestro Joao do Pife's rich legacy, these two mesmerizing and timeless tracks originate from his sought-after 1975 LP Folclore Alagoano, released on the Tropicana label. Born Joao Alfredo Marques dos Santos in 1943, in Riacho das Almas, Joao do Pife became an ambassador of Northern Brazilian culture and folklore through his music, which placed the pífano centre stage. For this 7\" issue, we have curated two of our favourite tracks from the album, 'Garoto Do Pife' and 'Homenagem a Ludugero', that exude a driving and joyous dancefloor energy. With lively accordion and organ accompaniments that weave around Joao do Pife's sublime pífano playing, they channel a folk spirit that will resonate deep within your soul.As inspiration for the picture sleeve, we have adapted the original cover photo art for this 7 inch issue. Joao do Pife's music, which is housed within, will sweep you away to Northeastern Brazil in an instant.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGaroto Do Pife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHomenagem a Ludugero\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5024017006973\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mr Bongo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.17.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7\" Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mr Bongo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52028912271591,"sku":"3716064","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/2481\/7639\/files\/4451777-3436911.jpg?v=1777678392","url":"https:\/\/monumentsinruin.com\/products\/joao-pife-do-garoto-do-pife-homenagem-a-ludugero-7-vinyl","provider":"Monuments in Ruin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
