1 out of 5 stars Candomblý de gringo.......2005-09-27

This recording has nothing to do with the soul of candomblý. It's outrageous to use the name of candomblý with so little knowledge about it. The compositions don't use the rhythms of the orixýs (toques) and when they try, they fail.
Candomblý is a brazilian religion which reflects a complex and complete culture. But Brazil is not in here. The attempt to play the avamunha rhythm ended in a candombe-like "samba". Probably because the leader is from Uruguay. And the overall interpretations are far from being authentic, which reflects a lack of studies and "experience" in candomblý.

Maybe they could name the record "candomblý banana" or "candomblý de gringo".

1 out of 5 stars this is not Candomble.......2001-12-25

The label on the recording should be something like Nando Michelin's Jazz impositions on Candomble. The jazz compositions of Nando Michelin pale horribly in face of the sacred hymns of the Candomble that only come through in barely recognizable snippets here and there. As a jazz musician, Michelin is mechanical and monotonous. Notwithstanding his annoyingly academic jazz, where in the world did he get the hubris to mess with the Candomble. This CD is only a musical form of gibberish. Listen to the sacred music of the Candomble, if you want to rejoice. Listen to this CD if you want to waste your money.
