CAT No. FLAU66
Release Date: Japan - June 21st / Overseas - Aug 18th, 2017
Format: CD/Digital
アントニオ・カルロス・ジョビンの秀逸な解釈を見せたジョビン生誕90周年記念作「Tom Jobim」と来日ツアーに続き、ブラジル・サンパウロのピアニストFabio Caramuruの知られざるピアノ小曲集がリリース。「Dó Ré Mi Fon Fon 〜27のブラジルの童謡」は、かつて幼少時代の一部としてブラジルの子供たち誰もが知っていた童謡にフォーカスし、新たなアレンジによって時代の波の中で忘れ去られていた童謡のメロディの豊かさを再提示した作品です。温もり溢れる軽快なピアノの調べに、同国のマルチメディアアーティストBeth Bentoが雨、子供の声、動物、そして都市や農村の多くの音、サンバのリズムなどのフィールドレコーディングを加え、繊細なサウンドデザインを施した傑作。特別盤にはブラジルの子供たちが描いたスケッチを用いたメモリーカードを付属し、記憶の彼方にある子どもの世界へと誘うイマジネイティヴなサウンドスケープです。
Dó Ré Mi Fon Fon – 27 Brazilian Children’s Songs was originally released in 2002. Dedicated to children, recorded at the piano with special sounds, those traditional Brazilian songs used to be very popular in the past, but seem to be almost forgotten nowadays.
The original CD was released with a memory card game inside a box, presenting a pair of images for each song.
The new arrangements of these popular songs were composed by Fábio Caramuru and the sound design of several curious sounds such as rain, children voices, animals and many others urban and rural sounds, was created by the multimedia artist Beth Bento.

brilliant with joy and other trembling – Fluid Radio
Delicate, playful, lulling, the short pieces of “Dó Ré Mi Fon Fon” paint glimpses of pastel colors of an enchanted world, dominated by a sweetness not at all cloying, faced by the Brazilian artist with an approach at the same time amused and deeply serious . His continuous intersection between harmonic structures and perceptual plans, between minimalism and jazzy timbres, produces as a result the substantial – and in some ways surprising – completeness of all the pieces, the duration of which oscillates only between forty seconds and the minute and a half , however, more than enough to act, at least, to carillon for adults and children. – Music Won’ts Save You
Great for kids to hear and play – Ivraria Scuritiba
歳を重ねた人である程このアルバムを聴きながら暖かな午後のまどろみに誘われて、夢の中に子供時代の記憶の風景が広がれば、こんな幸せな事はない – Latina
