AMERICA BRASIL O DISCO

"A wonderful step forward for the mighty Seu Jorge -- a great departure from his previous albums, but a set that's every bit as great! The style here is a bit more complex at times -- not as immediately rootsy as on Jorge's Cru album, with some fuller production and instrumentation -- yet never in a way that's crassly commercial or too slick. Instead, it's almost like Jorge has borrowed funkier elements of Brazilian and Brazilian-inspired grooves of both the past and present -- mixing 70s samba soul with some of the more contemporary takes on the rhythms -- all in a blend that's totally great, thanks to his own sublimely soulful vocals!"
