Marcelo Adnet records samba with father and uncle in a song featuring vocals by Jards Macalé
Marcelo Adnet is set to release a humorous samba track featuring vocals by the late Jards Macalé, in an album produced by his father and uncle.
Marcelo Adnet, a prominent figure in Brazilian entertainment, showcases his musical talents by participating as a vocalist in the upcoming album "Fake Falso," produced by his father, Chico Adnet, and his uncle, Mario Adnet. The album is scheduled for release on March 13 by Biscoito Fino. In particular, he contributes to the track "De Aniceto ao Acetato," which features previously recorded vocals by the late Jards Macalé, a significant figure in Brazilian music who passed away in November of the previous year.
The song carries a lighthearted tone and discusses the practice of buying and selling songs between anonymous composers and famous interpreters, a common occurrence during the Radio Era spanning the 1930s to the 1950s. This theme not only honors the historical context of Brazilian samba music but also reflects the familial ties interwoven throughout the project, as Chico and Mario Adnet are both established singers and songwriters themselves. Marcelo, part of a lineage rich in musical heritage, steps into the role of an interpreter in this collaborative effort.
This project signifies a blend of past and present, bridging generational gaps in Brazilian music and celebrating the contributions of earlier artists while showcasing new interpretations. The involvement of a family of artists adds a layer of intimacy and authenticity to the work, inviting audiences to connect with both the heartfelt familial bonds and the vibrant cultural history encapsulated in the samba genre.
