DE OLIVEIRA, JOCY - Raga na Amazonia

"For the first time on vinyl, this compilation brings excerpts from electroacoustic pieces written by Jocy de Oliveira from 1987 to 1993. It is rather fascinating Jocy de Oliveira's journey as a creative and sensitive inhabitant of our planet. She is a masterful composer, interpreter, multimedia artist, and storyteller. Her pieces are influenced by the avant-garde of the 20th century and all cultures and languages on Earth, emphasizing the importance of feminism, science, and the environment. Jocy started composing at the age of six and was introduced to piano studies at a very young age by her mother who was a poet and pianist. In 1959 she recorded A Música Século XX de Jocy (1960), an "Anti-Bossa Nova" record that was not understood by anyone in the '50s, but 62 years latter it became a cult classic (and has just been reissued). Her talent and dedication brought her to work alongside 20th-century music masters such as Igor Stravinsky, Oliver Messaien, Luciano Berio, Claudio Santoro,
