Mickey Hart, Airto Moreira, Flora Purim – Däfos
Symbolic image – for the detailed description and condition, please read the Item Details below.
Mickey Hart's 1989 collaboration with Brazilian percussionist Airto Moreira and vocalist Flora Purim represents a fascinating meeting of the Grateful Dead drummer's world-music curiosity and the polyrhythmic sophistication that defined the fusion era. Däfos weaves together Afro-Cuban and batucada textures with contemporary jazz sensibilities, creating soundscapes that feel both rooted in tradition and exploratory in spirit. Hart's distinctive approach to rhythm—shaped by decades of improvisational interplay—meshes naturally with Airto's inventive percussion vocabulary and Flora's vocal presence, which ranges from wordless texturing to Portuguese-language narratives. The record unfolds across eight tracks that suggest a kind of sonic journey, from arid landscapes to subterranean passages, treating percussion and voice as instruments of storytelling rather than mere accompaniment. This is music made by musicians deeply curious about rhythm's cultural lineages and its possibilities for collective conversation.
