Free Music Review: Groovin' at the Copacabana
Hit: 5 Stars
It's okay!There's NO Barry Manilow on this album--trust me.This is an EXCELLENT compilation of new Brazilian sounds.This is also one of Putumayo's better Groove albums.
Highlights-
1)Maria Moita-A retro,'50s styled song with a florid saxophone solo.For all its perkiness,it's about domestic violence.Despite its grim subject matter,the song is beautiful.
2)Outro Lado-A jazzy song from Zuco 103.Perfect music for relaxing with a cold margarita or mojito.And to think the song is about an unfaithful lover!
3)A Historia de Morena-Max de Castro blends a Hammond organ with a horn section to make a funky song.It's a very inventive song--and it's all about a woman who dances wearing nothing but body paint at Carnival.
4)Lagoinha-Carlinhos Brown recently contributed tracks to Bebel Gilberto (the peppy "Aganju"&"Jabuticaba" if you're curious)This song confirms why he's one of Brazil's greatest percussionists.He spices it up with Middle Eastern violins.
5)Mas que nada-A space age version of a Sergio Mendes classic.Yes,I'm using the term "space age" in its 50s&60s retro meaning.
6)Sou do bem-A joyous reggae-funk samba song.Has the strange cuica,a friction drum which could be called the Brazilian theremin.
7)Beleza-An upbeat hymn to beauty.I once had all 5 of my CDs on shuffle,and the CD player played this song,then Chico Cesar's "Beleza mano" on his self-titled CD.
8)Coco do Mundo-A delightfully weird,syncopated song.The singer,Viviani Godoy,looks like the Brazilian Jennifer Aniston.This is one of those "Must Hear Again&Again" songs.
This is an enjoyable album.Makes you think of the beaches in Rio....
