Album Notes & Community Reviews

Translating to 'Eagles Don't Eat Flies', this sophomore effort by Brazilian trio Azymuth pushes their signature 'samba doido' (crazy samba) sound into deeply atmospheric territory. The interplay between Alex Malheiros' sweeping basslines and José Roberto Bertrami's lush keyboard arrays creates a distinctly tropical fusion. The recording effectively bridges the rhythmic complexity of traditional Latin jazz with space-age synthesizer funk.
