One For The Weekend: Dom Salvador w/ Adrian Younge

Check out "Não Podermos O Amar Para" by Brazilian samba-jazz legend Dom Salvador with Adrian Younge & Ali Shaheed Muhammad. 

Here's the scoop...

With lyrics that declare, "Tem um tempo pra sentir, tem um tempo pra tocar, tem um tempo pra lutar, não podemos o amor parar, (There is a time to feel, a time to play, a time to fight—we cannot let love stop)" Adrian Younge wrote this song while reflecting on Dom Salvador's role in using music as a tool for social change and the ongoing struggle of Black Brazilians. The track encapsulates the spirit of resilience, reinforcing the message that love and resistance must never be stopped. Dom Salvador's signature piano playing gives the song its heartbeat, his touch a reminder of his immeasurable contribution to Brazilian music.

Jazz Is Dead continues its journey of honouring musical legends with Dom Salvador JID024, an album that revisits and revitalizes the pioneering spirit of one of Brazil’s most influential musicians. Dom Salvador, the trailblazer who fused samba with jazz, funk, and soul in the late ’60s and early ’70s, is the cornerstone of a movement that shaped the sound of Black Brazilian music. Now, in collaboration with Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad, he returns to that foundation in a wholly new way.
