I bet they're amazing live!.......2002-09-11

Challenging new music from this youthful band Mangue Beat band out of Recife, Brazil. A truly weird, psychedelic, distorted take on the street samba sound, mixing spacy electric guitars with clattering percussion and other non-rock instruments, such as pife flutes, an accordeon and a violin, and a wild mix of rock and Brazilian styles like forro, maracatu, and baiao. It's kind of like hearing the Quinteto Violado on acid.

My New Favorite Band!.......2002-01-06

Mestre Ambrósio has been my favorite band ever since I put this CD in the player. I was in a CD store in Brazil, and promtly bought both copies of the disc that they had on hand. Before Amazon offered this disc, I started begging my family in Brazil to ship me copies for me to give my friends as presents. Seeing the CD here will make it easier.
The way this band mixes traditional rhythms with contemporary experience, and the beauty, skill, and energy of the music, makes Mestre Ambrósio the most exciting band that I can think of, IN THE WORLD.
Since you have found your way to this disc on the website, you are interested in some aspect of Brazilian music -- given that, take my recommendation: DON'T MISS THIS BAND. They are not world-famous names like Caetano Veloso or Gilberto Gil, but these young musicians are the legendary musicians of the future.
This CD is amazing, and their new CD, "Terceiro Samba", is equally so.

a breathtaking experience!.......2000-08-16

I didn`t know much about them before watching their concert in london, but after seeing it I couldn`t wait to get my hands on the cd.They are simply the most impressive act to come out of the northeast of Brazil in recent times and, believe me, it shows on the cd. the songs cover a wide range of regional styles, up-to-dating them and making your feet tap uncontrolably to the powerful rythym. All tracks have an outstanding efect on the listener but track # 8 has got some trance - like qualities that transports you to another planet and therefore is my favorite. The production is impecable and the charisma of the group shows everywhere. Just buy it and you won`t regret it.

I was anxiously waiting for this CD!.......2000-05-29

I love this CD, but it is a shame they included three song they had already released in their previous album, instead of new material. And its not even a better version of the songs.

I heavily recommend this album to anyone who likes forro.

Third time is the charm!.......2002-02-15

I just want to say that this CD is great. This is their third CD, after their independent-label debut record and "Fua na Casa de CaBRal." The third installment is as good as if not better than the previous ones. All the members of Mestre Ambrosio have solid musical backgrounds, they really know what they are doing. Their original compositions are great, and I must say very catchy. They range from forro to samba (yes, samba), including coco, ciranda, maracatu. Their lyrics are as good as the music. Summing up, it is a great value, and a great starting point for someone who wants to get into the new Brazilian music.

This is an incredible Brazilian band! I wish I could give this CD a six-star rating! Mestre Ambrósio has been my favorite Brazilian band since the first time I put their previous CD in the player. Before I could find them on Amazon, I started placing CD orders with my family in Brazil, to send me more so that I could give it out to all my friends.
OK, now that I've gushed about them, this album makes me smile. This album makes me dance. Mestre Ambrósio is a young contemporary band that uses traditional rhythms and instruments to propel original songs with brilliant, poetic lyrics. The band dances across the complex and beautiful tapestry of Brazilian musical tradition, while keeping its heart in the present and its eyes towards the future. In the music on this album, the fiddle and the accordion mix effortlessly with electric bass and occaisionally guitar, with clear vocals lifted above strong harmonies. A host of intricate and fascinating percussion (more instruments than I can list) lights the fuse. If I were rich-and-famous, this band would play at my dream party.
If you like music, get this CD.
If you have any interest in Brazil whatsoever, this music will make you buy plane tickets.
If you are actively interested in Brazilian music, you might as well get five discs, because you will want to give them as presents to your friends.
Their other album (Fuá no casa de caBRal) is also wonderful.
