The Third Case of the Samba Seduction
A quick recap:
I traveled to Brazil in February and returned with a big stack of records.
I splurged through much of the last month playing these recent acquisitions.
We took a little break to refresh with some music from Africa and Latin America...
Today I'm back with another batch of tracks from my recent Brazilian acquisitions. The theme is samba; traditional rootsy samba for this show. Although the show will feature material spanning from the late 50s through the early 80s, there is a special focus today on the "velha garda" (old guard): samba musicians who began their careers before (I'll say) 1965.
We kick off today's show with that old-timey samba sound of the late 50s and early 60s, featuring early sambistas Cyro Monteiro, Germano Mathias, and Jorge Viega.
We progress through a more pop-driven sound in the mid-60s, then we'll take one of our detours into some delightful samba slow jams. The second hour ends with some of the beach breeze-kissed smooth samba of Rio's "crioulo" school.
