Carl Remde presents his first solo recording!
Co-founder and bassist of the popular bay area Brazilian band, Bat Makumba, Carl Remde offers ‘Explanation Point’ as a deeper look into his creative mind.
Independent music at its finest, the tracks flow out of a wide range of influences that are filtered through Carl. From the afro-pop opener “The Hill” to the electronic-flavored songs “At the Club” and title track “Explanation Point”; then there’s the Zappa-esque silliness of “Feelin’ Fine (Life is Good)” to the social commentary of “Do Tell Me” and “Yahungwayogo”. Of course, the Brazilian influences are scattered throughout. Most notably on “New Orleans Maracatu” which blends Cajun funk with the Brazilian rhythm of Maracatu.
'A New CD - Local multi-instrumentalist Carl Remde flaunts his eclectic musical taste on his debut solo effort, "Explanation Point" (Riggadig Records).

To the TRIBE FANS. We love you and hope that whatever you choose to do in this year, do it with audacity. Tell your critics to either get on board or out the way and wait at home for their social security checks. PEACE. DH Carl Remde

‘Boteco’ is an artful mixture of neo-futuristic traditional Brazilian rhythms with the right quantity of the best North American spices. It is funk and rock boiling and baking with samba, maracatu, frevo and baiao.
Put Pele and Mohammed Ali in a fictional mix machine. Now add Frank Zappa, Sergio Mendes, Tom Jobim and Roger Waters and fused in to one. What a mix eh? Bat Makumba is this fusion, multiplied by 2.
