This tasty set of old-school samba cancao features singers such as Orlando Silva, Francisco Alves, Sylvio Caldas and the ever-inevitable Carmen Miranda. Well worth checking out, especially considering how little indiepop comes out of Brazil, and how good so much of it is. Race and Ethnicity. Bongo label's orbit. And it collects tracks such as Gal Costa's version of the forro oldie, "Chiclete Com Banana", which is better heard here than on the original Costa album which is pretty awful.
