Rough Guide To Samba (Second Edition
Samba is the dancing spirit and rhythm of life in Brazil. This Rough Guide features the best of old and new from the Afro-Brazilian inspired Mart'Nalia and underground artist Loop B to legendary sambista Alcione and superstar vocalist Marisa Monte.
Bonus CD: Introducing Ruivão - If 36-year-old Ruivão sounds like a fully formed sambista already, it s because of the wealth of experience that this multiinstrumentalist has crammed into his career so far. Whilst working Lapa s top live music venues nightly, Ruivão s warm and welcoming tones can be heard voicing over TV and radio commercials for Coca-Cola and Guaraná. Ruivão cites his greatest influences as samba and Afro-Cuban music.
