4.0 out of 5 stars Could be funkier, but still a solid album, July 18, 2001

In "Bahia do Mundo," Carlinhos does not duplicate the funky party atmosphere he presented in "Omelete Man," but I don't suppose we should expect him to do so. This album is slightly more mature, for lack of a better word, and reflects back upon "Alfagamabetizado." If you like the other stuff, you'll be right at home here - with the soul groove of "Crendice," the solid reggae of "Mess in the Freeway," and the killer percussion throughout. Though the album slows down a bit midway and seems to lose momentum, all is redeemed with the wonderfully written and extremely catchy "Vai Rolar." Overall, get the other albums first, but if you can find "Bahio do Mundo" it won't disappoint. Carlinhos and his strange brew of all things Brazilian and tinges of American pop and rock make for a fine time once again.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as I'd hoped, August 7, 2001

This review is from: Bahia Do Mundo - Mito E Verdade (Audio CD)

I previewed this CD in the store and ended up buying it but now I'm a little disappointed. It's a little lighter and pop-ier and cheezier than I like. I think I like about 50% of the tracks and the rest I have to fastforward through because they're too cheez for me. The first track, 'pegadas na areia' is great but the second 'crendice' is kind of embarrassing to be caught listening to (unless you like R&B). 'Mess in the freeway' is super-cheez but it gets better with 'cavalo da simpatia', 'cearabe' and 'shalom'. I think I would have a hard time recommending this new CD to anyone unless you're a die-hard fan of Carlinhos Brown or you're into that light pop side of Brazilian music. If you're unfamiliar with Carlinhos Brown, check out Alphagamabetizacao instead. That CD rocks!
