Ritmo de Batucada, Sziget 2006
Check out this drumming it is great. I think I enjoy it more than the drums of bands at the college football games. If you get into it you can almost get hypnotized and forget about your depressing job or life or all the other problems you create for yourself it is a great escape.
MPB- Forró- Chico Cesar e Bicho de Pé
Chico Cesar is awesome. I think he is interesting to feature because he came from poverty to become a great musician. His music has authenic appeal. He comes from the Nordeste and if I am not confusing him with someone else knows a lot of really interesting older regional folk music. This older music relies more on the voice and requires a truer talent than the modern processed pop crap we are fed on the radio. The old stuff was more to cater to friends and family and made to have a good time and made for reasons other than money. Of course Cesar has made money but who blames him considering where he came from. He enjoys his work and would do it even if there weren't money involved.
