Fumaça Preta

Vinyl LP pressing. Fumaca Preta's hard hitting, free-wheeling 2014 debut album brings together elements of Tropicalia, Psychedelic Rock, Fuzz Funk, Musique Concrete, Acid House, adiophonic electronics, Hair Metal, voodoo and African, Brazilian and Latin rhythms. Beaming down from another planet and sonically stretching across decades, Fumaca Preta (pronounced Foomassa Pretta - meaning Black Smoke) started as a studio experiment when Alex Figueira, a Portuguese-Venezuelan producer and percussionist, invited some old friends to join him in the tiny analog studio he built on the back of his house in Amsterdam. After producing two critically acclaimed 45s, Fumaca Preta continued to work in the Barracao Sound Laboratory, swiftly producing their debut album. All musical boundaries collapsed during recording as the band drew upon their vast array of varied influences.
