Xangai, Cantoria de Festa,
Kuarup Discos KCD 091. You may have to know
Portuguese to listen to this one, because the words are very important here (what else is
new in Brazilian music?). This guy is a sort of medieval troubadour stuck in the 20th
century; humorous and fun. |

Renato Teixeira, Pena
Branca & Xavantinho, Ao Vivo em Tatuí, Kuarup
Discos MKCD 053. If you've ever heard Elis Regina singing "...sou caipira
Pirapora, Nossa Senhora de Aparecida..." by Renato and fell in love with his music
like I did, well, this CD is definitely for you! |
Grandes
Cantos Sertanejos, ...caipiras e sertanezes..., Kuarup Discos MKCD 072. |
Documento Sonoro do Folclore Brasileiro
Vol. I, Atração Fonográfica 32017. This is a Funarte CD of folkloric groups
from the northeastern states of Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba and Sergipe. It
features cambinda, zabumba, congos and banda de pífanos. I found this CD in a small store
in Campinas, São Paulo. Lucky me! |
