Acoustic Brazil : Various

[comtal]

The gentle rhythms of samba, bossa nova and more by legendary artists and fresh new voices

During carnival in Rio, the streets vibrate with the thunderous beats of the samba schools, their energetic rhythms persuading even the frail to dance. After the parties have ended, though, Brazilians start playing the softer, more introspective music for which they are also renowned. On February 22, 2005, just as the Brazilian carnival season is winding down, Putumayo will release Acoustic Brazil. While upbeat rhythms like samba, forró and axé have people dancing in the streets during carnival, Acoustic Brazil focuses on the more delicate Brazilian music that comes to life in the aftermath of the party.
