Title: A Breakthrough Musical Effort
Review: This album is probably as important a work as the Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper" or Milton Nascimento's "Clube da Esquina 2." However, if your ear is not tuned to Brazilian and world music, you probably won't be able to fathom that. Brown's fusion of Bahian axe music, northeastern rhythms, bossa nova, rock, funk and reggae is really groundbreaking. To truly understand what he has done, I would recommend perusing the book "The Brazilian Sound," which explains the significance of the work quite clearly and also is a great guide to Brazil's music of the last few decades.
