专辑介绍

While the wraparound spine-sleeve descriptor sheet that accompanies on Cyro Baptista's fourth Tzadik album INFINITO claims that these are "experimental Brazilian pop songs," those who have come to love his work on his previous three albums for the label shouldn't be worried. There are vocals on several cuts here, most notably the title track opener (which is reprised at the very end sans voices), "Batida de Côco," (composed with Hermeto Pascoal and Teese Gohl), the gorgeous "Adeus As Filhas," and the charging "Cantor Cuidadoso." None of these tunes could actually be called "pop" songs in any recognizable sense of the word. In reality,they are wild adventures that meld numerous Brazilian forms from maracatu and samba to choro, and sertanejo to brega, as well as música gaúcha and frevo. In addition, various Afro-Cuban musical traditions, including son and charanga, as well as several other Latin and African musics, jazz, and funk are encompassed. In other words, this is Baptista's expansive vision of music and he has the chops--as a composer, multi-instrumentalist, bandleader and arranger-- to pull it all off and make it sound easy. Despite the kaleidoscopic ambition of INFINITO, and its sometimes frenetic pace, the album is quite accessible and a pleasure to listen to. If only most popular music, Brazilian or otherwise, were this colorful and exciting. This is another winner in a catalog full of them.
