5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Funk Fantasy, February 27, 2003

I walk into my local soundwaves looking for some acid jazz and I got pure funk! This cd is reminisant of earth, wind, and fire, with a touch of afro-brazilian vibe. Cuts # 4 and # 11 are the hottest, however all of the tracks are smokin'. The vocals are tight and the bass is boomin'. You can really get your head bobbin' to this mix. Check it out, you won't be disappoited.

Banda Black Rio was fantastic in the 70's, and this new recording gives them a fabulous second wind; the funky rhythms combined with Brazilan accents (just imagine the result) are better than ever; just listen to Misterios da Raca and Nova Guanabara and you'll agree at once.
These guys are A w e s o m e !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

....but at approximately the same time while this awareness was going on in the US, apparently a similar awakening was going on in Brazil. These dudes dug up every Con-funk-shun, EWF, Kool and the Gang (early 70's) and Brass Construction album they could find, incorporated rhythms and beats from their indigenous environs and the result is a SHOCK!! This isn't a watered down impression of American R&B but an original form that stands on its own merits. I listen to it over and over because I can't believe the result.
