-O Presidente casually refers to their genre as all of the following: “noo-wop,” “bro-fi,” “skate folk,” “hyphy”, and “tropicália.” But, the band’s varied roots, including their interest in Brazilian and other Afro-Caribbean influences, doo-wop, and ’50s and early ’60s American and British pop, are patent on Clube de Futebol, an entertaining, rocking, and even sometimes crooning record, replete with beautiful instrumentation and songwriting. Zingg also likes to think that “some of the newer stuff is faster, louder, with more fuzz.”
“Around the time we started playing together as a band too, I was becoming obsessed with Tropicália and Brazilian psychedelic rock from ‘60s and ‘70s,” Zingg said of O Presidente’s sound. He eventually discovered that his grandfather David Drew Zingg was an American photographer who lived the last 40 years of his life in Brazil and took the album cover photographs on some of the iconic Brazilian pop records of the 1960s, including the original Tropicália “manifesto album” and the breakthrough records of Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil. - See more at: http://www.bottomofthehill.com/20150110.html#.VKjgiWTF__Q
