Gorgeous reiterations of northeastern Brazilian folk and capoeira, and most of all chorinho, with its roots in Lundu (a cross of African rhythms and various European styles, deploying a basic lineup of trinca flute, guitar and cavaquinho). With fascinating, sometimes startling flashes of hyper-modernity, like the parpy proto-acid of Terra e Povo.

Beautiful, compelling music, originally released in 1984; expertly revived by Lugar Alto.
