Far Out Recordings is proud to announce the release of the first solo project of Nina Miranda. ‘Futebol/ Beautiful Dub’, available on 7” vinyl, sees Nina’s talent from the very first horn blast. The record encapsulates the global frenzy surrounding this year’s Brazil World Cup, but Nina’s musical inventiveness and the track’s ¬catchy melodies, ensure the record’s relevance long after this year’s tournament. With Nina’s focus decidedly on her favorite game, this single ‘the beautiful game’ is a small sample of years of experimentation and unbounded creativity. ‘Futebol’ tells the story of how the British brought football to Brazil, explaining how the Brazilians ran away with both the terminology and the ball. But while the lyrics clearly demonstrate Nina’s love for the sport, they also hint towards the somewhat malign aspects of football’s assimilation into Brazilian culture and the way it has obscured the world’s view towards the country’s pressing social issues. ‘Is it a beautiful game?.’… The song reflects both the excitement and desolation resulting from hosting a World cup in a nation that so desperately needs to divide its wealth more equally, and ultimately listen to the needs of its citizens.
