5.0 out of 5 stars
music from Northeast Brasil, July 28, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Cantoria De Festa (Audio CD)
xangai plays and sings music from the Northeast of Brasil. It is like a folkloric version of commercial forro music (sort of). It also sounds a bit like the music from the popular Brazilian film Central Station (Central do Brasil), or even zydeco. Don't expect bossa nova, or smooth tropical music--this is music from the desert. Some songs are very beautiful, and the rythms are swingin. Xangai does some cool vocal effects, and the lyrics are a good introduction to Northeastern dilaect and slang.
