5.0 out of 5 stars WOW !!!, May 27, 2001

Rough Guide to Samba is the greatest Samba CD I ever heard ! It is gathering all the sub-styles of Samba. Like guitar only Samba, percussions and voice Samba and even the ones that are played during the Carnaval ! The song from GRC Escola de Samba Vai-Vai won the Carnaval Contest of 1999 ... and it's on this very CD ! Excellent CD, excellent songs, excellent sound, excellent in every ways !!! You gotta own this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars perfect guide to samba, June 7, 2001

This review is from: Rough Guide to Samba (Audio CD)

it's great to encounter a CD that embraces the whole and sometimes vague genre of samba without having to resort to the usual names/artists and clichés. top marks for the inclusion of Zizi Possi's version of O Que É O Que É and the acapella rendition by Luciana Melo of Candeia's O Mar Serenou. Eat your heart out, David Byrne. Contemporary but faithful to the roots.
