4.0 out of 5 stars The sounds of Brazilian popular music come alive once again., March 28, 1999

This review is from: Liberdade (Audio CD)

Olodum's latest effort Liberdade rejuvenates the sound of Brazilian pop music. The songwriting and melodies are wonderfully written and the performance on the album is in true form to Bahian music. Definitely a must-have for anyone interested in the sounds of a culture.... Tchau.

This review is from: Liberdade (Audio CD)

Olodom is a large percussion band from Salvador da Bahia,brasil. It's a musical institution that helps street children realize their full potential.The music is Reggae influenced with African rhythms driving the songs.The melodies are western,sung in Portuguese, and in African. They never loose sight of their BEAT. "ANJO MEU, is one of my favorites tunes.The tight percussion takes the listener to heights never imagined. "AMAGNI",is sung in an African dialect with harmonic flutes complimenting the melodies. the melodies are so CATCHY, you will hum and chant them when you do your chores. A must CD for every player that LOVES percussion. Liberdade,the name of the music CD implies--Freedom--Liberty
