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!
