CARO Vapor II is an exercise in imagination and a redefinition of what Brazilian popular music can be nowadays. From Rio’s samba jazz transported to the streets of Conjunto São Pedro in Fortaleza to Baião meeting the productions of the Neptunes, the artist understands old musical proposals as dreams of possible futures, pillars in the construction of a country whose work remains unfinished. Digging through these ruins and working their echoes in the present, he dares to envision another future. The exercises of imagining the past that haunt us have been exhumed and rebuilt. While this unfolds sonically, Don L’s pen reinforces: the Global South is what matters. Don scrutinizes the aspirations of what it means to be Latin American nowadays, in a world where virtually all experiences are heavily filtered by the internet and those in power. Territorial construction is also mental, provoking the listener by repeating, in new terms, the question: how much of your dreams was advertising?
