Eu vou p'ra Maracangalha

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Deeply anchoring modern Brazilian popular music to its rich Afro-Bahian roots, the revered composer delivers an impeccably crafted collection of sun-drenched, highly rhythmic samba anthems. Driven by the massive success of its infectious title track, the record balances slightly sweetened orchestral arrangements with his booming, profoundly resonant vocal delivery. The culturally vital release laid a highly sophisticated, foundational blueprint for the impending bossa nova revolution.
