Cartola (1908-1980) needs a special page, a particular chapter to be written, to be studied, to be appreciated.
Oh, how we miss his songs, his lyrics, his tender voice, his humble manners, his shy smile... Cartola incorporates more than no one, the "Soul of Samba". Edited by Atkingani - 02 Aug 2011 at 5:39pm |

'Berimbau' and 'Consolação' are two iconic afro-sambas. Here both songs are glued and interpreted by some of the greats: Vinícius, Jobim & Toquinho, supported by the discreet and elegant Miucha, Bebel Gilberto's mother.

The afro-sambas were a series of songs made by Vinicius de Moraes and Baden Powell de Aquino back in the 1960s full of African religiosity.
The rhythm is simple, plain, raw, and lyrics act as a mantra. Astrud Gilberto made a softer and more bossa-like version. |

Kazuhiro-san, later I'll show some samples of what can be described as prog samba; actually the plain samba with influences borrowed from prog-rock via instruments and arrangements.
The brain behind these songs were Rogério Duprat, that worked with Mutantes but later worked also with a bunch of samba singers and composers.

The video that Guigo had put here yesterday was very significant for me. Thank you. This thread serves as a reference very much. By the way, I buy "Previsao Do Tempo" of Marcos Valle before and it has been understood that it is a very wonderful album. It was a very progressive album for the item of MPB. I think that "Garra" is also wonderful. However, "Previsao Do Tempo" is overwhelming. Perhaps, I thought that Azimuth performed.

Quite sure, although the 2 main names of the movement: Caetano Veloso & Gilberto Gil were later more identified with Latin Jazz or World Music.

Tropicalismo probably has a lot in common with what we call Exotica on this site.

Back in the 1970s a new movement, Clube da Esquina, headed by Milton Nascimento mixed samba with prog-rock and Brasilian folk.

Tropicalismo was a cultural and musical movement in the 1960s that was a kind of parallel with the psych wave that occured there in the Northern Hemisphere.
Although not restricted to a specific musical style, those composers and arrangers of Tropicalism revisited samba with a toatlly new vision, including synths and electric guitars amid big orchestrations. Here Caetano Veloso and his iconic 1968 song. |

Samba and Carnival form a perfect pair in the city of Rio de Janeiro.
Carnival needs a King and a Queen and every year, 2 or 3 months before Carnival there's a contest to select the new king & queen. Usually, the king is a fat guy (like Bacchus) and the queen is a gorgeous young lady and both need to be warm and know how to dance samba. Link below shows the last contest which happened in the end of 2010. DISCLAIMER: Images were shown in the Brazilian TV with no problems. However, if you have any restriction to beautiful women wearing tiny bikinis, please do not click on the link. |

However, the samba de gafieira was and still is a favorite style in the night-clubs and dancings (gafieiras).

Samba-dance was a rhythm created in the 70s aimed to the disco fever.

Samba-rock is the style that made Jorge Ben Jor famous since the 1960s. He also has a bunch of clones and covers.

Samba de breque (break samba) is noticeable for its broken musical phrases and spoken segments.
This the style of the wise street guys where the late Moreira da Silva reigned absolutely. |
