After several gentle requests, zecalouro presents Baden Powell and the Afro Sambas. The Afro Sambas was originally recorded in 1966, while this one was recorded by Baden and Quarteto em Cy without Vinicius de Moraes in 1990.Eight of the eleven compositions are the same of the original one, while two are also compostions of Baden and Vinicius from the same period and the opening was made by Baden alone particularly for this recording.
This album uses all the sound technology available on 90's so it sounds like new. The 66 album was recorded on a 2 channel studio, and this means a huge difference in sound quality. Baden tried to keep this version as similar as possible as to the 1966 version.
There is another curiosity; the evangelic temples and their followers do not tolerate the Brazilian Afro Religion. Later in his life, Baden had converted himself to an evangelic, changing all Afro citations to a more Christian oriented approach during live presentations.
Now available at Biscoito Fino.
