O Samba sempre deu voz a quem não é ouvido.

A Panda do Sol nasceu do amor por essa música e pelo Brasil, um povo, uma cultura, uma terra que merecem ser defendidos.

"Maioria sem nenhum" è um samba de Elton Medeiros e Mauro Duarte, gravado pelo Paulinho da Viola em 1968. Mais de meio século depois, continua dizendo o essencial.

Pela democracia, pela paz, pelos direitos de todos. ✊🇧🇷

Samba has always given a voice to those who go unheard.

A Panda do Sol was born out of love for this music and for Brazil: its people, its culture, its land, all worth standing up for.

"Maioria sem nenhum" (the majority with nothing), by Elton Medeiros and Mauro Duarte, sung by Paulinho da Viola in 1968. More than half a century later, it still says what matters.

For democracy, for peace, for everyone's rights. ✊🇧🇷

Dear Juiced Family,

for our 35th listening session we have invited Helena (@elleftn) aka discos da jajá to curate a nice personal musical journey with her most personal and well selected records!

Helena Fontaine is a musician, hat maker, and record collector whose work bridges France and Brazil, with deep connections to Cabo Verde, the Caribbean Antilles, and early Latin American musical traditions. Since 2017, she has co-led the Berlin transatlantic music project A Panda do Sol. Through her vinyl-only project ‚Discos da Jajá‘, she presents carefully sourced recordings from Brazil, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Haiti, La Réunion, and Cabo Verde; an analog journey through rare creole grooves, island soundscape, and the stories behind old records.

Dont miss this. We are so much looking forward to this and of course to see some familiar faces!
