5.0 out of 5 stars Skank will conquer the world, July 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Calango (Audio CD)

Calango is the second album of this Brazilian band. Calango is a rhythm of the Northeast side of Brazil, similar to samba. But basically, this is a rock album. They brought different styles to rock such as reggae, samba, calango, making this album so great, that it's impossible not to move a single part of your body while you're listening to it. For those all over the world who wants to know something different, Skank is our postcard.

Skank has three albums out now; This one, Calango, Siderado, and O Sambo Pocone. All three are excellent mixing reggae and ska, which are the strongest of the influences, with carimbo, calango (brazilian influences) and rock. Of their three albums, I consider Calango the best. For reggae fans this group offers a re-inventive approach to reggae with a strong seductive bass, alluring horns and pulsing rhythms.

5.0 out of 5 stars By far their best, June 19, 2006

I was living in brasil when this album came out. As another reivewer said, there are a lot of these songs that were on the radio. They were infectious. I just loved it everytime I was on the bus and they started playing. I purchased this album and it has by far become my favorite album. If you are going to buy one album, this is the one to get.

I'm not sure which genre this music is in. It's got a bit of everything. When I lived in Brasil, Pagode, Samba and Reggae were all huge. I think that it has a bit of each in Skank.
