Os afro-sambas

Baden Powell's Os afro-sambas, released in 1991, presents itself as a work that explores the deep roots of Brazilian music, fusing the dexterity of the guitar with rhythmic and melodic elements that evoke African spirituality and culture. Powell, born in Varre-Sai in 1937 and died in Rio de Janeiro in 2000, was a guitarist and composer whose skill led him to be recognized among the great musicians of his time. His connection with the guitar began at an early age, learning from his father and later perfecting his technique with masters like Jayme Florence. This album, in particular, delves into a sonic universe where the rhythms of samba and choro intertwine with influences from African-matrix religions, creating a unique and evocative atmosphere.
