5.0 out of 5 stars
A perfect introduction to Brazilian samba,
By DJ Joe Sixpack (...in Middle America) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: Saudades Do Brasil (Audio CD)
I'm so glad that this record is finally back in print, since it is such a great overview of Brazilian instrumental music. Half scholarly, ethno-musicological exposition, half booty-shakin' block party, this is a fab collection of instrumental tracks that run the gamut Brazilian dance styles, from thumping bass-heavy batucadas and slinky capoeira to sambas and proto-sambas like the maxixe, baiao and choro. Although true to the rhythms, Da Sousa's ensemble leans heavily towards the melody, which is just fine by me... I love this album! Highly recommended.

Saudades Do Brasil,
By Todd Walker (San Antonio, Canuckville) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Saudades Do Brasil (Audio CD)
Unadulterated, pure music. Not an album per se, but a glom of solid folk tunes. Knowing nothing about the artists, or compilation,I am buying two more to give to friends, even though it seems over-priced. TW
