Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Recorded in 1976 but never released, this "lost" acid-folk album by Brazilian singer-songwriter Joyce with bassist/producer Maestro and percussion-legend Vasconcelos is at times as close to Pentangle as it is to jazz or samba.
"For the album to be more psychedelic would be impossible," Joyce said recently. That doesn't mean the nine songs are of equal interest, although "Clareana", written for her daughters, is sublime, and "Nacional Kid", written for a Brazil under dictatorship, wonderfully catchy.
Pick of the album: 'Clareana': stoned vocals, plucked strings and glockenspiel
