Fred Frith: Electric Guitar, Voice; Maria Portugal: Drums, Percussion, Voice. Fred Frith, the living legend between rock and jazz, improvisation and composition, meets Brazilian drummer, singer, and composer Maria Portugal. Maria Portugal has been active in the Brazilian music scene for over 20 years, now lives in Berlin, and has strong connections to European improvised music. Her deep roots in the Brazilian singing/songwriting tradition, coupled with a keen interest in electronic music, improvisation, and its use in song composition, make her an artist who moves in diverse musical contexts. This duo is a stroke of luck, because if contemporary European music has produced a truly legendary and globally significant figure in that exciting area where all stylistic boundaries are called into question, it is probably the guitarist Fred Frith. Maria Portugal and Fred Frith come from two different continents, generations, and musical worlds, yet they have a lot in common: this fascinating debut album proves that impressively.
