Pre-Order: Fred Frith / Portugal,Maria * Matter [New CD]

Fred Frith - a living legend at the crossroads of rock, jazz, improvisation, and composition - meets Brazilian drummer, singer, and composer Mariá Portugal. Active in the Brazilian music scene for over 20 years and now based in Berlin, Portugal has forged strong ties with Europe's improvised music community. Her deep roots in the Brazilian singer-songwriter tradition, combined with a sharp interest in electronic music and improvisation as a tool for song composition, make her an artist who thrives across diverse musical contexts. This duo is a stroke of luck: if contemporary European music has produced a truly legendary and globally significant figure in the space where all stylistic boundaries dissolve, it is surely guitarist Fred Frith. Coming from different continents, generations, and musical worlds, Portugal and Frith reveal on their debut album just how much they share - and how electrifying their common ground can be.
