The annual carnival in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil is famous around the world for its dazzling parades, exotic costumes, sensual dancing and carefree ambience. This hour-long collection presents some of the best examples of the infectious music of the various samba schools who parade through the streets competing for honor and recognition. The songs feature lilting melodies with swaying, shuffling rhythms, usually performed by a male soloist supported by a choral ensemble, lively acoustic guitars and the bateria, a large percussion section. Interspersed throughout are shorter examples of the batucada, distinctively Brazilian drum music, anchored by the deep pounding of surdo drums. This album marvellously captures the festive spirit of carnival, making it the perfect party album. ~ Backroads Music/Heartbeats, Rovi
