The Other Side of This

Airto Moreira
The Other Side of This

The Other Side of This was recorded at Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart's home studio in 1991. The album's 13 selections are inspired by the Afro-Brazilian traditions of Airto Moreira's heritage and take the listener on an aural tour of imaginary landscapes. The liner notes provide guided visualizations intended to transport the listener step-by-step through an array of emotions ranging from reflection to celebration. “The spirit body can travel to places that the material body cannot,” says Moreira. “It is these places I speak of when I say 'the other side of this.'” The album features a variety of sounds including stomping, vocals, tree branches, surdo (a large Brazilian bass drum), shakers, cowbell, rattles, and bullroarer. The Other Side of This was issued in 1992 as part of “THE WORLD” series (now part of the Mickey Hart Collection made available by Smithsonian Folkways).

EN ESPAÑOL

Al otro lado de esto se grabĂ³ en el estudio casero de Mickey Hart, baterista de Grateful Dead, en 1991. Trece selecciones del Ă¡lbum son inspiradas en las tradiciones afro-brasileñas de la herencia de Airto Moreira y llevan al oyente a un viaje sonoro de paisajes imaginarios.

Las notas proporcionan visualizaciones guiadas planeadas para transportar al oyente paso a paso a travĂ©s de una serie de emociones que van desde la reflexiĂ³n a la celebraciĂ³n. ”El cuerpo espiritual puede viajar a los lugares que el cuerpo material no puede“, dice Moreira. ”Son estos lugares de los que hablo cuando digo al otro lado de esto'“

El Ă¡lbum cuenta con una variedad de sonidos incluyendo zapateos, voces, ramas de Ă¡rboles, surdo (un gran bombo de Brasil), maracas, cencerros, cascabeles y ”bullroarer“. Al otro lado de esto fue publicado en 1992 como parte de la serie ”EL MUNDO“ (ahora parte de la colecciĂ³n Mickey Hart puesta a disposiciĂ³n por Smithsonian Folkways).
