I lived in Brazil for 3 years and love carnival and the music from Bahia. I have many of Olodum's CDs, and this one is one is great because it has some of the best songs from many of the old albums. Some of the tracks are sang with other important Brazilian singers, something that adds to the content of the CD. If you like brazilian music, it's a MUST have.

If you can only buy one Olodum album, get this one! It has more recent songs and also some of their older hits. This album contains Olodum's previously unreleased version of "No Woman No Cry" - a legendary tribute! Some of Olodum's classics like "Rosa", "Alegria Geral", and "Berimbau" have been remixed and the surdos (base drums) have more of a kick now. On this album, Olodum has invited other stars to perform with them on some of the songs. For example, Ivete Sangalo in "Rosa", Jimmy Cliff in "No Woman No Cry"; it sounds fantastic! Expect nothing less than the finest Olodum beats!

I have known this band for 10 years and have ALL their CD's albums etc. I visit them in Brasil for Carnival whenever I can. I love their work, and their music goes from strength to strength due to their hard work and that of their dedicated meastros. My favourite tracks are a mixture of old and new and include - Requebra, Avisa la, Berimbau and Candelaria, from this new CD, but I have favourite tracks from as far back as 10 years or so. I am awaiting info of any tours they may have in England this summer, if anyone has any info, please share with me . Axe, Jenny da Silva.
