  • Description

    Conjuring up wickedly rich vintage sambas on this fifth recording for Far Out The Ipanemas have rarely sounded better.

    Brazil's greatest Afro-bossa band combines three generations of Rio de Janeiro musicians to evoke a nostalgic and raw tribute to their diverse musical city. Wilson Das Neves' crooning, melancholic notes combine with diva Aurea Martins' hypnotic vocal while glorious trombone and afro percussion add to the deep pleasures. Five decades after Brazilian music was transformed with cult debut 'Os Ipanemas' Das Neves and the Ipanemas return to honour the memory of genius guitarist Neco in the only way they know how – playing samba from the heart.

    Along with Wilson's vocal and Ivan Conti's (Azymuth) drumming it's the trombone that defines their sound. Vitor Santos is regarded as one of Brazil's finest horn players, which is clear the instant his first notes breeze out in opener 'Que Beleza de Nega'. With the deep bass of Jorge Helder, stunning arrangements, intricate song writing, and magical layered musicianship 'Que Beleza' is a is a culmination of a lifetimes' work: vintage brassy samba to big-band jazz, mesmerising ritual Afro-Brazilian Candomble to playful bossa ballads. With what may well be their last post the Ipanemas have made an album of truly heart slowing beauty. They have rarely sounded better.
