This review is from: Marrom Capoeira (Audio CD)

I agree that this CD isn't the best for learning the various rhythms. If what you're looking for, however, is a good example of live Capoeira music, this is it! This CD is a recording of an actual roda hosted by Mestre Marrom (Rio de Janeiro) and his students. All the energy and excitement is 100% real - and there's a lot of it. You can even hear places where someone has made a rasteira or a well-placed golpe. The CD is perfect for training, and for learning a few new corridos and some great ladainhas (lyrics are included). You can also play this one for your friends who are new to Capoeira without having to include the disclaimer "well, REAL Capoeira music is a little different..."

So what do you need a CD for? If it is as a basis for practice, this would be great -- the consistency of the pace is good, and the music is basic capoeira, rather than showcasing musicians. If you are looking for the full range of paces and rhythms, you may look elsewhere. Hypnotic and sound.
