A mystery is only as good as the detective who solves it.
Conversely, a detective is only as good as the mysteries he - or, to be fair, she - has solved.
The mythical investigator promoted by popular culture only pretends to possess perfunctory problem-solving...skills. Yet detective work requires more than a bent-apple pipe. An affinity for distinguishing the elementary from the intermediary is helpful, but not required. While on the subject of job description adaptability, tobacco can indeed must be substituted for a lollipop. Regardless, each case must be taken independently from the rest. And most importantly - whether obliged by duty, reward, or sheer morbidity of interest - the best detective cannot rest until the mystery at hand is no longer.
Unless of course technology is somehow involved.
G.K. Chesterton wrote many a tale. The detective tales of little, old Catholic priest Father Brown were by far the most prevalent in the Englishman's cannon; and for good reason. Aside from the fact that Father Brown sidekick was previously the greatest criminal in the world, he could also spin a phrase. Among them was the saying that, "No machine can lie [...] nor can it tell the truth." Now, the mysteries of both Mix BwÉ and Puto Wilson have been covered. More over, the words in question are located inside of the internet. Using the good clergyman's knowledge, perhaps the technological unknown is best left unexplored.
In the mean time, though, why not enjoy the sounds of Mix BwÉ and Puto Wilson?
What follows is a mid-tempo kuduro. But while "Os Filha da Fruta," has a familiar beat, the rhythm section is minimal. In stark contrast to Mix BwÉ's style, the song below is composed predominantly of hi-hat. Vocal samples do account for some syncopated percussion, the bass is the only other rhythmic element of note. The unexpected, as it turns outm is a common theme. Released just over two weeks ago, "Os Filha da Fruta," is very much a dual-track collaboration in spite of its quaint length. Akin to the Black$ea Não Maya's September joints with Firma do Txiga and Tia Maria, "Os Filha da Fruta," consists of two separate parts, each claimed by the credited beat-makers. While both Dj's use the same song-head, they differ noticeably in approach. To Puto Wilson, the accordion which anchors the melody might as well be a piece of percussion. The vocals and free-reed instrument are one in the same. For the sake of variety, Mix BwÉ adds what appears to be a dunun and a second, harmonic accordion.
