Os Pagodes Mais Cantados Nas Rodas de Samba da Malandragem
CID 1980

I am always very happy if someone asks for samba. It’s no secret that I love the stuff. Logically, I am disappointed again for not getting any reaction.
Vocês também podem escrever em Português se quiserem. Eu gostaria.
133 downloads in two days means, tem que ter alguém que gosta, não tem ? me deixa uma palavra então ..

hey, I’m a long time follower of your blog. I do apologise for not commenting, but as I can access the links directly from google reader, I end up doing so.
this record must be a find, I can’t recall seeing it here in brazil (I am a timid record collector myself).
continue iluminando nossos ouvidos com ótima música! saudações e um abraço

What you say about over-produced types of Samba with violins and huge orchestration is exactly why you don’t have a strong grasp of MPB. You’re slightly off target with this remark. People in Brasil don’t create the music for YOU. You’re just a visitor. Can you TRY to accept things on their own terms? Do you see my point? The bigger the production the better. Bring it on!

I already knew we didn’t agree on this, no problem. Everybody is entitled to see it his own way. I love the pure stuff, you love the violins, let’s all be happy and listen to the music we like, cada macaco no seu galho…

Hi Moos,

I love the stuff you post. I often download things I’ve never heard of before because I am curious and because, more often than not, I trust your ears to deliver some interesting music.

People who criticise your posts are missing the point – it’s your blog and you can do what you want with it. If they don’t like it, I suggest they get off their butt and start a blog of their own. They will soon find out that it is a labour of love that takes time, dedication and a lot more hard work than just writing negative comments.

Keep at it and thanks a bunch for what you do.

That’s very gentlemanly of you to allow my comment. You use the word “Pure”. The Samba that I enjoy IS pure, just a little more added in the way of production and arrangements. You don’t enjoy Os Originais Do Samba or Nelson Cavaquinho or Cartola or Alcione or Beth Carvalho or Clara Nunes? C’mon, you know you do.
Point is, Brasilians love polish on their production and love to give lots of jobs to poor hungry musicians. Hiring 20 or 30 musicians to do a session is the Brasilian way. Lavish. Grand. Slick. That’s what I expect from a culture with a celebration like Carnival. An over the top sound.

“Brasilians love polish on their production and love to give lots of jobs to poor hungry musicians.”

How can you generalise about an entire nation so glibly? Many Brazilians don’t give a damn about samba, let alone production values on a recording.

Let’s leave this discussion behind us, once and for all. Listening to the music we love is the only important issue here. It is NOT a contest, we do not all have the same feeling about this and that doesn’t matter. If you love the huge orchestrations and stages full of people performing, fine. If you don’t, that’s also fine. On this page, I bring the music that I like ! If you don’t like what I post, why spend your valuable time here ? Better do something usefull and post more of the sh*t YOU like, so we can all be happy, okay ?..oh and Tim, thanks for your support, I appreciete it..

Great stuff! Thanks!

Oh, and two the guy who made some ridiculous connection between over-production and less hungry poor Brazilians, well it only takes one person to play a synthesiser…..

Also, the majority of the upper class evidently don’t give a damn about the poor and never have….
