El DJ y productor francés Gilles Peterson (Gilles Jérôme Frank Moehrle) (Caen, Francia, 1964) afincado en el Reino Unido presenta el segundo volumen de su proyecto Sonzeira, en el que ofrece su personal visión, desde un punto de vista contemporáneo y desde el exterior, de la música popular brasileña, utilizando los recursos de la moderna producción musical.
Si en el primer volumen recurrió a grandes artistas brasileños de diversas generaciones y estilos, en esta ocasión el concepto cambia radicalmente y el trabajo tiene como fuente de inspiración la música afrobrasileña del viejo y casi olvidado LP "Tam... tam... tam...!" protagonizado por José Prates y su orquesta lanzado en Brasil 1958. Peterson toma diversos pasajes y ritmos de ese álbum, que desarrolla y sobre los que elabora variaciones. El resultado queda a juicio del oyente.

"Tam Tam Tam Reimagined is the second album to come from Gilles Peterson’s Sonzeira project. Overseen by the legendary DJ and record collector, this second album picks up where the first one left off. Where Brasil Bam Bam Bam brought together the all-stars of Brazilian music, this album focuses on a key moment in the country’s history; a record made at a crucial moment serves as the jumping off point for an open-ended project of musical reimagining.
Peterson’s fascination with Brazilian music goes way back. Since his early days as a club DJ and pirate radio host, records from Brazil have taken prime position in his record bag. Be it the endless rhythmic possibilities – from batacuda to samba and bossa nova – or simply the sheer excitement channelled through much of it, the music has always spoken to him.
Of all those records released in Brazil, however, the search for one in particular has taken on a real significance over the past couple of years: José Prates’ Tam Tam Tam. An accompaniment to a stage production financed by the Brazil Culture Ministry, it was created to promote the country’s culture to the world. Hearing the album – including its prototype of ‘Mas Que Nada’ that became a Sergio Mendes mega anthem – through Ed Motta during the making of the last Sonzeira album, it sparked a long hunt to get his hands on a copy (including a plea live on Channel 4 news).
With a mint copy successfully procured – not long after Jonny Trunk’s re-issue championed by Record Collector mag – it was taken as a starting point for creating something new. Working with production associates Will Horrocks from UK bass-meddling duo LV and Rob Gallagher from 2 Banks of 4 – along with appearances from drumming prodigy Moses Boyd and Kassin from Rio’s Orquestra Imperial – they picked out phrases and snippets to build songs and tracks around.
Released in 1957, Tam Tam Tam celebrates a distinctly Afro-Brazilian culture that was later suppressed following a coup in the early 1960s that led to a military dictatorship. From sparkling recreations of the atmospheric original to reverb-laden dub, the album takes a magpie-like approach to re-interpreting the most exciting aspects of Prates’ postcard of Brazil to the world. Tam Tam Tam Reimagined forms another part of the Sonzeira project’s aim to take apart and reassemble the pieces of what makes Brazil’s music so unique."
