Title: Sure, it's got sambas, though not the more upbeat ones.....
Product review: .....but still very fun and relaxful to listen to and enjoy. This is a nice set of low-key sambas, bossa nova, and acoustic guitar melodies which makes you feel more at ease with yourself (and sung in Portuguese, one of the world's most musical languages, even if you don't understand a word of it).My favorites are tracks 1,3,4,5,7, and 9. In fact, this comment from the liner notes on page 18 about "Tem Quem Queira" (Someone Else Will Want It, track 7) by Rita Ribeiro should be rather interesting: (It) reflects the blend of Portuguese and African influences that are the foundation of Brazilian music (not to mention, the majority of the songs from this compilation).Even if this isn't like the more high-energy sambas with the dozen-plus backup singers, the rhythms and harmony here are just as great, if not better. :)BRAVO AGAIN PUTUMAYO
