AFROINDIEPOP SOULSHAKER GUERRILLA
Dodo Reale's Musical Recipe In A Nutshell
Put on your favourite Bob Marley, google up some Dave Matthews, a bit of Italian music, a tiny taste of the Mauritius island, a full spoon of Angolan gindungo, add enough Brazilian flavourings, sprinkle some Old Europe, a touch of Latino spiced up with some Mediterranean feel. Now you're done: this is the marvellous world of Dodo Reale

The CD Songs
1.Les Nations Unies 02:54
The United Nations functionaries discuss poverty while they wait for their beefsteaks. Plan advertising campaigns while sipping coffee on coffee breaks, sitting at luxurious tables, AC cooled. Then go away aboard their shiny SUV, leaving behind the same misery as before.
2.Caixinha de surpresas (o trem) 04:04
The train goes, the train departs, the train goes, goes, well. Is that train, the train of your desires? The train of a lady pussycat, who never purred for you, the train of that beautiful mulatta? Well, our French friend says Business as usual, everyone’s keeping busy with their job, maybe selling weapons. Business as usual.
3.Toujours la merde 04:34
“African children believe that when cars grow up, they become trucks”.
4.A dançar 04:01
Berimbau and violin together, the voice of saudade, the voice of the songwriter, an african chorus in Ombundo language, and the sea. Life is asking us to dance, once more.
5.Il regno delle fate 05:03
The queen of the fairies is waiting for us. She can have pointed ears and blond hair, or black smooth skin that perfumes of cinnamon and mango. We’ll follow her, far away until we reach the enchanted kingdom. The forest songs have bewitched us.
6.Te quero 03:04
The wonderful silky voice of Tomasia Estevao Morais in this touching song. Almost a kizomba on a pad of violins. “Te quero, te quero”.
7.O conto do Sal 04:28
Traduced from the Portuguese language: “this is the story about The Oceans, when they were fresh water”. Irina Vasconcelos duets with Dodo and tells in Portuguese and Ombundo languages, accompanied by kissange and Lady Jessica’s flute, about the mermaid who turned the ocean’s water salty.
8.Brasil p’ra amar 03:33
A tribute to Brasil, to the MPB, to the bossa nova and tropicalistas. From Caetano Veloso to Gal Costa, from Vinicius to Jobim.
9.Il canto delle rondini
A song about love and migration. Bety Tavira duets with Dodo in Italian and Portuguese languages
10.Africa 03:31
A love declaration for Africa, or maybe the love for our contry, our way of life, has somehow betrayed us?
11.Vai ser melhor 04:06
A song of love and poverty. Vai ser melhor, things will get better.
12.Il fiume dice 03:38 Let us listen to what the water has to say, and a female choir whispers in a mysterious language: if you do as I do. The rest flows, everything’s like water, water that flows.
