Description
The Ipanemas fifth album is a superb slice of Brazilian vintage magic and clearly invokes the spirit of their 1962 debut ‘Os Ipanemas’. Led by Wilson Das Neves - master percussionist / vocalist and Neco - bossa nova guitar genius, both have had extraordinary careers spanning five decades as key players at the heart of Brazilian musical history. They have recorded and toured with so many greats including Elis Regina, Tom Jobim, Wilson Simonal, Jorge Ben, Chico Buarque and Elza Soares. Wilson also features with Rio’s new samba big band Orquestra Imperial.
‘Call of the Gods’ exquisitely captures their self styled ‘afro-bossa’ sound, conjuring up that golden age Rio de Janeiro feel. Driven throughout by the deep spiritual kick of the Afro-Brazilian religion and music Candomble, whose Gods inspire the title and so much more - as Wilson says ‘Brazilian music is religion’. This album swings with grace and pure class, thanks to the rich experience only The Ipanemas can bring.
Tracks: Canto Pra Oxum / Era Bom / Gana / Tema Do Neco / Um Novo Amor Chegou / Doriva / Chama O Donato / Deus Do Ceu / Fonte De Prazer / Afro Imortais
