Putumayo Presents: Brazil-Samba, Bossa and Beyond!

You even get a recipe’ for a Caiprinha Cocktail on this tasty album of various current stars in the Brazil scene. What more could you ask for?

As far as the music, nothing satisfies like that seductive nasal soto voce from ladies of Brazil, and there’s  plenty of it here. Embola Bola gets funky with horns on “Vania Abreu” with Beijo getting folksy with accordion support on “ Bia” . More earthy voices are delivered by Dona Onete on “Homenagem as Orixas” and Aricia Mess on “ Batuque e Reza Forte” with rich male strains produced by Roge’ teamed with some soulful flute on “Fala Brasil” , the village voice of Luiz Melodia on “Recado Que Maria Mandou” and Jair Oliveira on the folksy “O Samba Me Cantou”. A beat that is hard to beat.
