The Twelfth Case of the Brazilian Symphony
Those sun-drenched days of summer samba are gone for now.
But there is much to love about Brazilian music in all kinds of weather. Today we have a nice sampling to soften the edges of seasonal affective disorder.
Each pocket of today's set covers a distinctive sound in the storyline. I begin with rootsy samba; not the old-timey stuff today, just some soulful pure samba from Rio favela traditions. The second set picks up the samba beat but blends in jazzy touches to demonstrate club appeal. We cool our heels before the midway point with some grooovvy 70s samba slowjams.
The second hour picks up the tempo with some funk-rock nuggets from the 80s scene in Brazil, then we turn back to the dancefloor with some soul and funk. I end the set today with contemporary club vibe simmer.
