Free Music Notes for TribalistasFree Music Review: CD for rich people Hit: 1 StarsEven if is a good cd of music,I'm really disapointed because it is imposible to listen it by a car's cd player.The reason is the recording protection. In the store they explain me that mabe only in very good cd player's could be posible. So the persons who buy the cd insted of coping it, are punished if they don't have an expensive car's cd player.Always the same inocents pay for thiefs.
Free Music Review: I miss Brazil! Hit: 5 StarsThis will always be the CD that reminds me of my recent, first trip to Bahia (I intend to go back every year.) Warm, lush, gorgeous music. Track #3 is very popular in Brazil right now. Buy this CD - I saw a ton of bootlegged copies being sold on the beaches, so I fear Tribalista is not making the money they could be, and they deserve it.
Free Music Review: Forget the CD, buy the DVD... Hit: 5 StarsI ordered the DVD from somlivre.com and besides having all the great music, it offers an unobtrusive, intimate look at the environment in which the music was created - having watched the DVD, I can tell you that contrary to the previous reviewer's comments, Carlinhos Brown contributes a lot to what you hear on Tribalistas.
Free Music Review: Another neo-tropicalia gem from Brazil Hit: 5 StarsA lovely little album! The band's name and all-star cast are an apparent tribute to the Veloso-Gil-Bethania-Costa mid-1970s supergroup, Doce Barbaros (The Sweet Barbarians), but in this case the musicians, neo-tropicalistas Arnaldo Antunes, Carlinhos Brown and Marisa Monte, go for tender restraint, rather than wild excess. It's a remarkably gentle, dreamy album, with an interesting blend of voices and styles. If I had to characterize it, I'd say this sounds more like an Arnaldo Antunes album than anything else, with its off-kilter sensibility and unhurried style. Monte, who put this album out on her own Phonomotor label, plays the central vocal part, though, with both Antunes and Brown complimenting her in unusual harmony parts. Carlinhos seems a little lost in the mix, at least his former trademark Afro-Brazilian percussion is hardly as prominent as on other albums. All in all, this is a very pleasant, inventive and multi-textured record, well worth checking out!
Free Music Review: The Triumphant Trio Hit: 5 StarsTribalistas is such a fantastic recording! There are five or six instant hits and several dreamy songs. The songs are so catchy you won't be able to get them out of your head. Marisa's vocals are her best yet and she always works so well with Carlinhos and Arnaldo. The lyrics are unique (get a Brasilian friend to translate them for you!) and the melodies charming. Like the best of Brasilian music it feels like they are playing at your own party! Don't miss this one!
