Beneath the swell, she echoes

from Cities and Memory - remixing the world · host Cities and Memory

"Beneath the swell, she echoes emerged from Marcelo Carneiro’s evocative field recording of the Iemanjá Day celebration—its textures, rhythms, and atmosphere opened a doorway to memory. I was drawn to create it through a long-standing connection to Brazilian music and culture. Many years ago, while singing with a Brazilian percussion group in Scotland and collaborating with Brazilian musicians and dancers, I learned a chant to Iemanjá—the mother of the sea. I have reimagined this chant among the waves, voices, and living pulse of the celebration."The track carries that lineage: the swell of water, the pulse of distant drums, and the enchanted movements of a water spirit echoing between drifting textures and electronic sound."Praia Vermelha, Brazil reimagined by Aileen Ogilvie.
