Bahia de Todas as Bossas | Brazil 4

Here we go with the music from the country number one, Brazil. First of all, I would like to say that Caetano without knowing made one of my dreams come true. One of the most common questions of new Loronixers is how to start with Brazilian music, which is the best album for beginners? What to hear first? The answer comes with this set of four compilations, each one dedicated to one of the top four Brazilian States, ranked by number of visits to Loronix.

Bahia is the number four and is where the Portuguese first touched Brazilian soil, and also the first African slaves. It was there, also, that they first mixed and matched together with indians to create our race and our culture. Being a Northeastern state, close to the Equator, Bahia is usually hot, and hot is certainly their music (and their food, yes !).

Music from Bahia is easy to identify: strong beats, fierce rhythms, and an irresistible desired to swing your body. If not as harmonically sophisticated as others in Brazil, it is however unique in its high spirits and dancing quality. You will seldom find instrumental music in Bahia -- the mood there tends to singing at full voice, preferably in open spaces.

This is Bahia de Todas as Bossas, a compilation featuring best of breed Brazilian music. This is the music you should take with you to drive alongside the beautiful beaches from Bahia, Bahia de Todas as Bossas brings:
