Nordeste-Brésil : 1928-1950

(2-CD) If the music of the Nordeste is now in fashion, it is through big names of the past (such as Joao Pernambuco, Luperce Miranda, Jararaca and Ratinho, Minona Carneiro and Luiz Gonzaga), who gave this early form of world music its unique and distinctive colour. With tales of drought or of urban banter, we discover the sincere singing of another Brazil, with its musical genres including the coco, embolada, maracatu, frevo and baião. Includes a 40 page booklet with both French and English notes.
