Reissued for the first time, "Fragmentos da Casa" by Brazilian percussionist Marco Bosco, was originally released in 1986, by Carmo, owned by Egberto Gismonti.

Carmo also released albums by Gismonti, Piry Reis, Fernando Falcao, Nando Carneiro and André Geraissati, among others.

In 1986, Marco Bosco's percussive arsenal was unique and extremely peculiar, containing chizanzhi, caxixis, purrinhola, requo-requo, shequeres, berimbaus and lingo drum, among other instruments.

Brazilian percussion is a universe apart. The fusion of African and Brazilian cultures and rhythms has generated many talented musicians who have gone deeper into Brazilian roots in search of its essence and thoroughly research all of our diversity.

Many of the percussionists have been transformed into an "export product" worshiped worldwide: Airto Moreira, Naná Vasconcelos, Djalma Corrêa, Fernando Falcao, Pedro "Sorongo" Santos and Marco Bosco, among many others.

Marco Bosco started his personal journey in the 70s, but the biggest impact happened when he released his first solo work, Metalmadeira (1983), a journey made up of acoustic and electronic textures, nature noises, vocoders, synthesizers and sequencers.

"Fragmentos da Casa", his second solo album, had a striking concept, explained by the artist himself, from the original press release: "Antagonizing the synthesized universe of digital equipment and instruments to an acoustic aesthetics; plus emphasizing the timbristic characteristics of percussion: "Fragmentos da Casa" is a musical interpretation of a journey - one night and one day - through the rooms of an imaginary house" This fusion of acoustic and synthetic, promoted by some Brazilian artists in the 80's and celebrated worldwide, still brings memories to the percussionist.

For him, the arrival of those electronic gadgets "was the best thing that happened on the planet".

This reissue includes a reproduction of the original artwork, new testimonies by Marco Bosco and a a long article signed by Bento Araujo, author of the series of books "Lindo Sonho Delirante", which investigates audacious and fearless music produced in the Brazilian underground.
