Product Description

Carnaval So Ano Que Vem is the long-awaited debut by the Brazilian group Orquestra Imperial. Born as a 19 piece band, the ensemble includes Kassin, Domenico, Moreno Veloso trio, Thalma de Freitas, Wilson das Neves (Ipanemas) and many more talented artists from the Brazilian rock, pop and electronica scene. The group were a highlight at London’s Barbican Tropicalia Festival in 2006, playing with special guests Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals), The Bees, and Sean O’Hagan (High Llamas). Orquestra Imperial offers a panoramic snap-shot of Brazil's new generation of creative talent and their collective interpretation on the golden-age of samba is neither sepia toned or nostalgic - it's kaleidoscopic.

Customer Reviews

One of my favourite albums of the year
This is one of my favourite albums of the year - Orquestra Imperial play such high quality, fun music that you cannot be sad when you listen to it! A proper big band, music hall samba CD, with cheeky sounds and lyrics, and that general Brazilian sense of relaxed fun. I hope other people love Orquestra Imperial as much as I do :-)
