Product description ------------------- VARIOS INTERPRETES ACOUSTIC BRAZIL .com ---- With its amazing mix of Portuguese, African, and Indian musical genres, dances, and instruments, Brazil's pop scene is unique because so much of it is acoustic. This disc is a pleasing potpourri of mostly non-electronic tunes sung by some famous and not-so-famous artists. Of course, the samba--the country's most dominant genre--and its offshoots are well represented here. The disc includes some well-known, previously released selections, including the Bahian, Tropicalismo pioneer Caetano Veloso ( /exec/obidos/ts/artist-glance/122311/${0} )'s existentially poetic "Cajuina," guitarist Marcio Faraco's ( /exec/obidos/ts/artist-glance/219978/${0} ) festive, Nordeste-nuanced "Ciranda," with the superstar vocalist Chico Buarque ( /exec/obidos/ts/artist-glance/122287/${0} ), and the perky, Maranhao-born Rita Ribeiro ( /exec/obidos/ts/artist-glance/201327/${0} )'s samba-reggae number "Tem Quem Queira." Some lesser-known artists include the Arab-Brazilian vocalist Glaucia Nasser, Lula Queiroga, and Monica Salmaso ( /exec/obidos/ts/artist-glance/174920/${0} ), whose "Moro Na Roca" is a powerful, Angola-derived lundu/jongo homage to the legendary Clementina de Jesus. This disc adds credence to the phrase, "keep it real." --Eugene Holley, Jr. P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Review ------ "...the soundtrack for more moments...an album full of gems." -- Associated Press, February 24, 2005 See more ( javascript:void(0) )
