Clube Da Esquina

As many others probably noted before me: we are here for this kind of stuff, unknown music from all over the world (and not yet another album from an American/British band everyone already knows). At first I lukewarm though, as it's not particularly a genre I enjoy a lot. But the album is diversed, and it gets more interesting at the end, with more electricity, perhaps more experimentation also. Nice experience in the end.

I wish that the 1001 Albums list had more albums like this - a genuine surprise and a perfect accompaniment to a hot and sultry day. Even though I couldn’t understand most of the lyrics, I enjoyed the changing moods and instrumentation which was almost Beatles-esque in places. Definitely something out of the ordinary!
