Every episode is a different song. This is the song today:
"Tiro Cruzado" (Ângelo/Borges), performed by Nelson Ângelo and Joyce.
A fascinating prequel to Clube da Esquina, “Tiro Cruzado” captures the sound of a musical world that was still taking shape. Ângelo’s guitar anchors an angular, tense harmony, while Tenório Jr.’s electric piano, Danilo Caymmi’s flutes, Novelli’s bass and Rubinho’s percussion create a restless, almost psychedelic samba. The song would also find its way into Tom Jobim’s repertoire years later, a remarkable endorsement of its beauty and sophistication. In this bonus episode, we explore the story behind “Tiro Cruzado,” its connection to the emerging Clube da Esquina circle, and the musical language that made it so distinctive. It’s also a chance to celebrate Nelson Ângelo, one of Brazilian music’s most inventive and underrated musicians.
