Festive and big sounding funky horns are in abundance with the band including Roberto Menescal/eg, Marcio Menescal/eb, Alex Moreira/key, Marcelinho Da Lua/samples and a hard hitting collection of guests. Carlos Malta’s flute floats over the hp line on “Mandacaru” with Leo Candelman’s baritone sax shuffling over “Blues Bossa”. Rio Mracatu’s percussion gallops through “Kalunga Rocket” and Cris Delanno’s wispy voice seduces on the bossa’d “Sambalaya’. Big horns and bright brass by Paulinho Trompete charges on “1937” and some hip hop beats go urban on a synthy “VouNessa”. It’s party time with this group!
