Summary: If Brasilia were the capital of the world .... 2008-12-28
Comment: If Brasilia were the capital of the world, everybody would grow up knowing samba and how to dance to it.
Alas, the world has not capital and Brasilia on the short list. So most of us need to be *taught* to dance samba. That's where this CD claims its usefulness. Each of eighteen tunes is worked out to 'strict tempo' samba in order to facilitate dancing by the novices, the newcomers, and the merely stiff.
If you're new to this, I must warn you. Samba is contagious. But there are worse things to catch.
If this kind of infectious rhythm doesn't seem like such a bad idea to you, start here.

Summary: very enjoyable CD! 2008-08-09
Comment: I must agree with the first reviewer. This CD makes me want to get up and dance! I was a bit doubtful about the three or four non-traditional samba song selections (country, pop, disco), but they are growing on me. I listen to this CD almost every day, and practice my samba between lessons with great enjoyment. I'd say.....great samba collection for the price!

Summary: Great Selection of Hot Sambas 2007-08-29
Comment: I will enjoy listening to this great selection of vocal sambas again and again. And it makes me want to dance! If the disc insert listed who the artists are, I might even give it five stars.
There are several editions of this disc (2003, 2005, 2006) and they all seem to be the same. Shop wisely!
