  Naná Vasconcelos - Africadeus LP
  
  The very essential album from Naná Vasconcelos, Brazil’s greatest Afro-Brazilian experimentalist was originally released on French label Saravah Recordings in 1972, and it has been reissued by Harmonipan Editions & Anniversary Group, in an edition of 300 copies for the world. 
  
  This mesmerizing recording captures the Brazilian pioneer of Berimbau and his way of experimenting with the instrument. All this material has been mastered from the original tapes, and unseen photos and extensive liner notes by the artist make this the definitive Naná Vasconcelos document. Timeless, unheralded Afro-Brazilian experimentalism in the raw. 
  
  Naná Vasconcelos was a Brazilian percussionist, vocalist and berimbau player, most notable for his works with Pat Metheny, Don Cherry, Egberto Gismonti, and Gato Barbieri. Beginning from 1967 he joined many artists' works as a percussionist. Among his many collaborations, he contributed to four Jon Hassell albums from 1976 to 1980 (including Possible Musics by B. Eno and Hassell), and later to several Pat Metheny Group works and Jan Garbarek concerts from early 1980s to early 1990s. In 1984 he appeared on the Pierre Favre album Singing Drums along with Paul Motian. He formed a group named Codona with Don Cherry and Collin Walcott, which released three albums in 1978, 1980 and 1982. In 1981 he performed at the Woodstock Jazz Festival, held in celebration of the tenth anniversary of the Creative Music Studio. In 1998, Vasconcelos was awarded the Best Percussionist Of The Year by the Down Beat Critics Poll for seven consecutive years, from 1984 to 1990.
