4.0 out of 5 stars I guess the secret's out, July 15, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Bat Makumba (Audio CD)
I thought Bat Makumba was my neighborhood's little secret but I guess they're hitting the medium-big time now! The album captures a hot night at the Elbo and makes me wish I were there now. The only thing missing are the great covers that they rip through. Led by Alex's guitars and vocals and Emiliano's drums, I've yet to be disappointed by them. Great song (lyrics too) with the Old Guard of Mangueira putting in a rootsy samba cameo on Morro de Saudade, which compares San Francisco and Rio. It's the only 'straight' samba track, with the rest being a mistura of funky influences. I detect some influences of Lenine and manguebeat, tropicalia, etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Champions of rhythm!, September 4, 2003

This review is from: Bat Makumba (Audio CD)
What a great CD! A friend of mine recommended this album to me and told me they play all different type of comtemporary types of Brazilian music. Yes they do. There is a ska, samba-enredo with Velha Guarda da Mangueira,some baiao and even salsa. I just hope to see Bat Makumba live one of these days after reading the newspaper articles about them on their website.
