Vinicius de Moraes was the principal lyricist of Bossa Nova, (Girl from Ipanema, Chega de Saudade and Insensatez), and Os Afro-Sambas is his
response to the commercialisation of the movement by the mid-sixties, Co-written with the brilliant Brazilian guitarist Baden Powell and eventually
released in 1966, these eight songs combine Powell's melodic gifts with Bahian folk traditions and Gregorian chants, Recorded at a time when musicians around the world were looking to break down barriers - between classical and pop, East and West - but the Afrosambas appear to recognise no such barriers in the first place, Os Afro-Sambas is an absolute stunner, One of the most exquisite pieces of Brazilian music ever recorded, it is combined on this edition with the intimate, irresistible, A Vontade, Baden's most successful solo LP of the period and one of his finest achievements.
