5 out of 5 stars Irresistible Party Disc.......2003-07-01

This compila tion CD of music from Brazil's harsh northeast is one of the most enjoyable CDs that I have heard in a long time. Unlike many pop CDs - which you buy for one good song, only to find that the song you bought it for is the only good one on the disc - this one is loaded with treasures. The late great Jackson do Pandeiro (1919-1982) is represented by two delightful cuts, and the legendary Luiz Gonzaga (1912-1989)has four cuts. Those unfamiliar with the music are doubtless wondering "What is it like?" It is extraordinarily energetic party music. As David Byrne points out in his notes it is somewhat reminiscent of zydeco, though I would be inclined to describe it as zydeco on speed. The rhythmic and instrumental qualities are strictly those of Latin America. The lyrics are, not surisingly, in Portugese (Though the CD booklet has translations). I highly recommend it for you that are tired of the dreary, bankrupt pop current in the US today. Put this on at your next party and watch people come alive.

5 out of 5 stars We could have done without the decapitated heads.......1998-11-06

This is the third in David Byrne's series of Brazilian compilations and it's every bit as good as its companions. By including Gal Costa (who I think is fantastic), Byrne doesn't totally move away from showcasing the work of the MPB crowd, but moreso than in the other albums does he present the music of the real forro and nordeste artists, Jackson do Pandeiro and Luis Gonzaga in particular (Gal & Elba Ramalho are the only pop stars represented on this disc). "Estrela Miuda" by Joao do Vale is one of my all-time favorites. The only thing that honestly bothers me about this disc is that every time I open it up to play it, I'm confronted with this macabre old b&w picture of about 15 decapitated head sitting on shelves. Horrified and intrigued when I first saw this, I poured through the liner notes for an explanation or relevance of this, but found none. Granted, I'm not the world's foremost expert on Brazilian culture and history (I learned Portuguese and my fiance is from Portugal, but I'm basically just a huge fan of the music), but if there's some connection here, it's totally lost on me.

5 out of 5 stars Very good brazilian songs.......1998-08-02

This is the best musical CD about brazilan classic songs that I have ever heard. I hope that I can hear more songs of those singers.
