Caravela Escarlate - Iii

Formed in Rio de Janeiro in 2011, Caravela Escarlate is a trio heavily inspired by both English and Italian '70s Prog Rock, but they draw on traditional and popular Brazilian music, which gives them a special, and quite unique, sound. Caravela Escarlate's third album is a new journey into vintage progressive rock pathways. "III" evokes historical issues in different contexts - Roman Empire, Medieval Times, Pre-Columbian Civilizations, and Age of Discovery. The cover artwork is a painting of the British artist J. M. W. Turner portraying the eruption of Vesuvius that destroyed Pompeii in AD 79. In musical terms, Jove David Paiva, Elcio Cáfaro, and Ronaldo Rodrigues provide a deep exploration of organs and synthesizers over a solid basis of drums and bass like the glorious prog-rock trios from the 1970s. Seven tracks (two instrumentals) bring the unique approach of Caravela Escarlate that mixes universal influences and a Brazilian accent in prog rock01. Bússola do Tempo02. Castelos do Céu03.
