Musician and producer Mitar Subotić moved from his native Serbia to Brazil in the 1990s, adopting the name Suba and was immediately captivated by the country. He played with combining traditional Brazilian rhythms with experimental European electronica and quickly became one of the country’s pre-eminent producers. He produced Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto - one of my favourite albums from this list - and had just finished this record when he was overcome by smoke trying to rescue tapes from a fire in his studio and tragically passed away as a result.
This album gives a perfect example of his unique and influential style and it’s a great loss that he was taken from the world of Brazilian music so young. It shows how much different cultures can learn from each other, to the enrichment of both.
Rest in Peace Suba and thank you for your music.
