♪ An accomplished percussionist from Rio de Janeiro who exported the Afro-Brazilian swing to the world, including having played in the American band Chicago from 1974 to 1981, Laudir de Oliveira (January 6, 1940 – September 17, 2017) is revived with the posthumous release of the album Save the Rhythm on Friday, September 8th. Recorded in 2015, two years before Laudir’s death, the album brings together the rhythmist with drummers and percussionists Guto Goffi and Robertinho Silva. When they got together to make the record, the trio’s intention was to show in a didactic way, through the album Save the rhythm, how the drums of musical genres such as samba, maracatu, jongo, carimbó, congado and drum of creole are played. So much so that the disc – recorded with musical production by Guto Goffi and mixed and mastered by Raphael Piquet – will be promoted with free workshops, a kind of rhythm workshop for a target audience made up of young musicians, music researchers and students from the public school network of city ​​of Rio de Janeiro (RJ). Motto of the workshops, the repertoire of the album Save the rhythm is formed by the authorial themes Saruê, Aguidavida, Maracatuseado, Camisa 12, Merenguiado, Jongueando, Verbal Batuque, Free Bob, Pipa do vovô, Tempo rei and Yemanjá sobá. It should be remembered that Laudir de Oliveira produced Afro-Brazilian sounds from percussion with such rare skill that the percussionist was regularly invited to play with the biggest names in music from Brazil and the United States, the country where he traveled for the first time in the 1960s – having joined the band of pianist Sergio Mendes from Rio de Janeiro – and the country where he would live from 1970 to 1984.
