"Briluz" is the first single from Brazilian musician Maurício Fleury's upcoming solo album Revoada. The secret ingredient across albums by Gal Costa, Mateus Aleluia (Os Tincoãs), and João Donato as well as with his own group, São Paulo's (Afro Brazilian take on) Afrobeat collective Bixiga 70, Fleury writes, arranges and plays in a dizzying variety of musical styles at the intersection of traditional and modern Brazilian musical traditions.
"Briluz is a made-up word, taken from the Brazilian translation of Alice in Wonderland. I was asked by a label in São Paulo to send them a track for a compilation in 2020 and this tune came to my mind, and I made a fully electronic version. Then I felt we had to record a more groovy, organic version for the album, making it a little bit more jazzy, with a certain Azymuth flavor and a beautiful electric vibraphone solo by Beto Montag, a long-time friend and collaborator."
