Synopsis

Album Details
The Rhythm, Happiness and Ingenuity that Marks Brazilian Football Makes it Perfect Subject Matter for Music. Pixinguinha was the First Major Composer to Write a Song About a Match, in 1919, and Since Then Football Has Inspired Almost all the Great Twentieth Century Popular Brazilian Artists Including Chico Buarque, Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, Elis Regina and Jorge Ben. There is Barely a Musical Genre that Does Not Include a Tribute to a Team, a Match Or a Player. Football is an Obvious Stimulus Since it is Such a Central Part of Brazilian Life. These 22 Tracks Are Some of the Greatest Brasilian Music Songs About Football featuring Jorge Ben, Joao Bosco, Caetano Veloso, Pele, Carmen Miranda and More.
 

CD Reviews

This is so worth it.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"In light of Brazil's recent World Cup victory, this CD seems especially appropriate. It's essentially a sampler of Brazilian football's greatest hits, from audio highlights from matches to songs by some of Brazil's greatest artists who love their football as much as their music. It even includes a samba written and performed by one of Brazil's largest football supporters' club at Sao Paulo's Carnaval and a duet written by Pele himself. At any rate, this CD captures a glimpse the flavor, grace and rhythm behind Brazilian football, something that even non-fans can appreciate."
