CD Reviews

Jamiroquai's sources
skaren | Brazil | 02/24/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I've heard that Jamiroquai's Jay has been buying Banda Black Rio bootlegs for years now. And if you listen closely these two bands sound overwhelmingly alike(except BBR has been around for much longer). At any rate--BBR is not to be missed."
First class

"One of the best records anybody could ever hope to own. It's a cocktail of 70s funk and classic Brasilia. A joyous, uplifting, unique and utterly brilliant CD."
A Great CD by a Great Group!

"I also agree with another reviewer, that if you listen to Banda Black Rio you will definitely hear elements of their music that have been used by groups, such as Jamiroquai (a great group to check out if you haven't already!). However Banda Black Rio were originals in the style they helped make popular. A wonderful fusion of jazz, funk, and samba. It could easily be compared to an instrumental version of other late 70's early 80's funk bands, such as Kool & The Gang or Earth, Wind & Fire, except with a Brazilian twist. My three favorite tracks from this CD are "Maria Fumaca", "Mr. Funk Samba", and "Cravo e Canela". A must have for any fans of late 70's funk!"
