O Tempo Do Samba [Import]

The Sunday Times
"An unpretentious slab of 24-hour carnival rhythms." (4/5)

Product Description
From the label

The fourth album from Grupo Batuque; 'O Tempo Do Samba'. A feel-good album of up-tempo Brazilian rhythms that pays homage to the samba beat, 'O Tempo Do Samba' features 10 full length album tracks plus 8 percussive and vocal edits.

The album also features seven vocal tracks including the 12" dancefloor monster 'Afro Blackâ' and anthemic closing track 'O Tempo', 'O Tempo Do Samba' is undoubtedly Grupo Batuque most accessible album to date. Whilst previous Grupo Batuque albums have often concentrated on percussive rhythms, 'O Tempo Do Samba' resets the balance with a set of songs that still retain the Grupo Batuque rhythm but forming an album in the process that will not only appeal to the samba aficionados but anyone who digs the beat from Brazil. As with previous Grupo Batuque albums there are a number of vocal and percussive edit sections yet here the majority of them come from an alternative version of the final track 'O Tempo', and threading through the album this creates an intriguing narrative that is finally fully realized with the final track.

Joe Davis, Far Out's head honcho gives us his vibe on the album: 'O Tempo Do Samba' was recorded in a very non-conformist way, unlike most samba CDs which stick straight to the traditions of the genre and the region where the particular beat came from the only guidelines for this album were to have fun and an element of madness. At times the recording sessions were wild, really out of control "in fact you could say that Grupo Batuque are like the Who, or the Rolling Stones of samba!'
