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!!
