Launch! Brazilian Lofi music to relax
The musician Afrobrazuca releases today the album Great is the Lord, an EP with five Christian songs in the lofi style.
When an artist does not have the money to pay for a large production and ends up doing everything in his home studio, he is usually limited by the quality of his recordings. He often employs tricks to make the work more interesting, such as using cassette tape recorders, “toy” instruments, sometimes even a little out of tune (as if they were played on an old and out of calibration phonograph) and effect generators, squeaks and turntable pen emulator.
Lo-fi music is light and simple, and since it doesn’t have a voice, it’s very popular at home, as a way to help stay focused while working from home, and even while reading or relaxing. Wait for sleep to come. Although the lo-fi hip-hop style was fashionable, it lacked the aggression, punch and bass of traditional hip-hop, keeping the pace slower with so-called “lo-fi beats”.
A few years ago, more or less since 2015, the style started to emerge and, more recently, a movement to find channels and playlists of lo-fi music (hip-hop or not) started to emerge with a lot of force. The date is all about the coronavirus pandemic and quarantine: the crowd is moving away from the overproduced style, looking for something intimate, simple and peaceful, but it’s having a profound effect on these people’s focus.
These productions have two main premises: simplicity, mainly within an artist’s budget, with a lo-fi aesthetic, even whistled (included on purpose); and an electronic beat, played in a loop or simply recorded. As the style gained in popularity, many artists embellished hip-hop and brought more casual nuances, through vaporwave, and sometimes even using phrases and snippets from jazz and bossa nova (whether sampled or composed).
Thanks to this phenomenon, new talents are discovered every year. We at Lo-Fi Fantasy Studio are happy to announce the first release from a talented artist: Afrobrazuca.
As a differential, Afrobrazuca combined his 25 years of experience as a Brazilian musician with his study of the lofi style and worship music. All the songs on the Great is the Lord EP are gospel compositions by the musician himself, arranged in lofi chill music.
The songs can be heard on streamings:
YouTube Spotify Amazon Music
We hope that you, like us, enjoy the sound of Afrobrazuca.
