Rating: 4/5
This moves from haunting samba on Jorge Ben's Lalari-Olara, to the cool and wild wig-outs of Zimbo Trio's Zimbo Samba and Sergio Mendes' Primitivo, through to the sparkling delights of Roberto Menescal's Inverno and Gilberto Gil's Viramundo. For bossa and Brazilian novices, this is the perfect collection to get to know this charming and thrilling music - and for those in the know, check it out anyway.
