Soul Of Samba ** Vinyl

Soul Of Samba' features several euro-bossa-jazz favourites such as the catchy 'Rio'; which was a firm DJ choice cut at jazz dance nights, including Brighton's 'Jazz Rooms' in the 90s. It also featured in Rainer Trby's classic Glcklich' compilation series which explored European-Brazilian-inspired music. The beguiling Aquarela', with its engaging latin shuffle, entices feet to the dancefloor and is not one to miss. 'Agua has a lazy-quirky latin-funk feel with breathy-stoned vocals floating in the background. The album additionally features numerous breezy latin, Brazilian, and easy listening joints, some of which are ripe for sampling.
