5.0 out of 5 stars
Some of Brazil's finest music of the 1960s, February 3, 2008
This review is from: Os Primeiros Anos (Audio CD)
This 3-CD set is a straight, song-for-song reissue of the first three albums by famed Brazilian songwriter Chico Buarque, one of the founding figures in the "Musica Popular Brasileira" (MPB) movement, which was the next step after bossa nova swept the country in the early 1960s. These three albums -- "Chico Buarque De Hollanda, v.1" (1966), "Chico Buarque De Hollanda, v.2" (1967) and "Chico Buarque De Hollanda, v.3" (1968) -- originally came out on the RGE label, and established Buarque as one of the leading artists of his generation. These albums are perennially out-of-print, so finding them all together like this in one place is a real treat. Really sweet, really innovative, really catchy music that help usher in the musical renaissance of the early 1970s. Highly recommended. (DJ Joe Sixpack, Slipcue Brazilian Music Guide)
