Gerardo Frisina & Toco feat Luzia Dvorek – Deixa Passar/Ile 12″ – Schema
Review
Five years on from their debut collaborative EP ‘Frisina Meets Toco’, modern Brasilian dance artists Gerardo Frisina and Toco return for a second faceoff, this time with liaising artist Luzia Dvorek serving as ringmaster. Centring on samba-infused jazz and deep house with mystical and folk influences, “deixa passar” translates from Portuguese to “let it pass”, though the mood is certainly not outright passive. This delectably quartered slice of carnivalesque dance music is rather rich in sonic papaya juice, charting sustained vocal contrasts between Toco and Luzia against smoky and furnaced beats. Aperient track ‘Deixa Passar’ leans heaviest on languid piano, whilst dozier mists emerge on the B-side in the form of ‘Ile’ and its rework by Gerardo Frisina, bringing pan flutes, strings, breathy vocal counterpoints, cabasa shaker, and subtle bass undercurrents.
