This show is dedicated to the roots of modern brazilian music in all it's forms - pure samba. Tracks from the 50s to the late 70s, all of which show the inventiveness and style of one of the world's most enduring musical forms. From the slack lyrics of Nadinha to the gangster samba de breque of Kid Morangueira (Moreira da Silva) and the paulista italian immigrant patois of the awesome Adoniran Barbosa. Leading out is Nadinho da Ilha and Yao, followed Eduardo Gudin a late 60s purist revivalist, then Martinha da Vila with his honey smooth voice and Batuque na Cozinha. Maestro J.T. Mereilles' killer big band version of the classic Tristeza Pe No Chao is followed by one of Adoniran Barbosa's biggest hits, Saudade Maloca. 50s icon Roberto Silva covers Gustavo Miguel's street gang samba noir with it's 'sangue, sangue, sangue (blood, blood, blood) chorus and police siren wails still sounds modern and was covered by Nacao Zumbi in recent years. The Bahian influence is often found in Rio based samba and we couldn't have a show without the Queen of Samba Elza Soares (with Capoeira). Another Bahian, Joao So, has a modern 70s take with his Traffic Samba and the tragic Sandra covers the club hit 'A Sandalia da Nega (aka Arrasta A Sandalia). Sixties purists Os Cinco Crioulos reintroduced the samba de roda and ace drummer Wilson das Neves shows his samba chops on Sa Nega. Mereilles returns with Arrasta a Sandalia (no relation) and Moreira da Silva with his Samba de Breque (Breakdown samba -a tradition of a mini rap in the breaks) song about appearing in the local Criminal Justice Court. Adoniran plays with his southern italian roots on Samba Italiano and from the bizarre Bill Haley presents Lee Jackson, we have the awesome Hard Day's Night in full samba version! Zeca do Trombone and Roberto Sion (Wilson Simonal's brother by the way) finish with Carlos Dafe's wonderful Na Passarela. Brazil Pura Samba!

This show features the influence of africa on brasilian pop music. Just like elsewhere in the world in the early 60s there was a rising conciousness among musicians about the roots of the music they played, and as bossa nova became more popular, many returned to the african roots of the samba to add new/old life into the work.
Noriel Vilela was the basso profundo with Nilo Amaro e Seus Cantores de Ebano and made this one deep macumba album with choppy hammond grooves, Helcio Milito took his influence of percussion to his production work on the super rare Krishnanda, a fusion of angola, brasil and india from 1968, Neco's version of Menescal's Adriana keeps the afro 5/4 beat, whilst ace pianist covers the Baden & Vinicius Afro Samba Consolacao in full samba jazz form. One of the deepest small groups Os Ipanemas hit the Congo, whilst Tema 3 play their original Afro.
Candomble makes itself felt in the very afro Orquestra Afro-Brasileira and Tire o Calandu and Os Tincoas angolan rhythms with soul harmonies on Atabaque Chora. Jorge Ben's trip to Nigeria in 76 where he met Fela Kuti left this deep impression from the Africa Brasil album about Flamengo no 10 Zico, whilst Helcio Milito and his Tamba crew explore Antonio Carlos & Jocafi's Ossain. Finally pop soul superstar Wilson Simonal joins the black and proud movement with his rousing Africa, Africa!!

When bossa nova exploded onto the brasilian music scene in 1958 many artist were caught unaware. the laid back style of Joao Gilberto was ok for after hours listening they argued but what about in the boites, the nightclubs? Afro cuban music and reco-reco samba for tourists for big on the agenda in the nightclubs like Drink run by the infamous gangster pianist Djalma Ferreira. Groups were led by a charismatic leader and usually featured some singers or crooners as they were called who would take turns to excite the dancers. Wilson Simonal, Silvio Cesar were amongst these. The bands usually were made up of the hottest young players who would shale up the after hours with jazzy jam sessions. Some like Joao Donato found so little work with the modern sound he had that they left for europe or the USA.
Back in Rio, an unknown jazz bassist called Ed Lincoln was called to Drink one night when Djalma Ferreira had been shot over a gambling debt. Lincoln was sat down in front of the Hammond organ (one of the few in the country) and told to play a set. The rest is history. Ed lincoln and his cohorts, Durval Ferreira (no relation) Orlann Divo, Silvio Cezar, Celso Murilo and others began to mix the new bossa beat with the upbeat swing of old school samba and american rhythm and blues. Many establsihed artists passed through the genre before becoming more traiotnally bossa - Doris Monteiro, Isaura Garcia, Alaide Costa, amongst others.
The bands played through the 60s and evolved into first the discotheque covers bands then into the fully fledged Black Rio movement by the early 70s. It was actually Carlos Lyra one of the earliest bossa nova stylists that got fed up with the name and coined the term sambalanco for this hotter music - he even trademarked the name, but Hammond led dance bands everywhere co-opted the name for the new brazilian swing...Brazil by Sambalanco!
