Negative Positive
Title: These guys are kind of nuts, but they are funny.
Review: First, I'd have to agree with Amazon's chosen critical review wholeheartedly. It isn't that the group sounds like Brave Combo as such, but they do have a similar, unleashed sense of fun romping around various musical styles, and sometimes you end up with a huge, somewhat baffled smile on your face. "Cyrano" sounds like a strange combination of 70's rock, samba, and theme music for a TV show of the Munsters variety. It is a blast. "Pensando Nela" is a bossa nova with a really relaxed, happy groove and a consciously loungy air that will have you smiling even if, as the case with me, you generally don't care for songs of that description. In his famous song "Chiclete com Banana," Jackson do Pandeiro satirically called for a fusion of American and Brazilian music he named "samba-rock." He would definitely enjoy these unimagined results. Have yourself a "Tudo Bem" day.
