Not a cd to practice to........2001-01-09

I have been practicing Capoeira for almost two yeas now and I have to say that this is a pretty good cd with some very interesting rhythms. This is definitely not a very good cd to practice to but it is great for those who enjoy the sounds of the berimbau and the songs of Capoeira.

A decent CD for any capoerista.......2000-01-10

The review below claims that Guilherme Franco knows nothing about capoeira, but on the CD insert it says that Franco was trained under Paulo Gomes, a student of Mestre Bimba. The berimbau is also an important jazz instrument outside of the capoeira roda, and Franco's band Pe de Boi captures the spirit of the instrument. This CD has a broad range of tracks for both regional and angola, unfortunately no tracks for maculele. The chant tracks were lost on me, my group uses different chants in our rodas. This CD is a good representaion of the music of capoeira. Unfortunately, this is not a CD that can be listened to. It is impossible to fully enjoy this CD without playing it as background music during capoeira practice sessions.

I couldnt choose less then one.......1999-11-25

Lets be real, this guy has no right playing the berimbau. this was a terrible cd and i cant get over the fact that i brought it with outlistening to it first.

The only people that can play the berimbau are people that play capoeira, and this guy knows nothing bout capoeira hence, knows nothing bout playing our great berimbau

volume recorded too low.......1999-07-04
