Description

Complete your Azymuth collection.

On the other hand, you had a lot of NAC radio formats encouraging instrumentalists to play elevator Muzak. But Azymuth weathered those storms. José Roberto Bertrami, Alex Malheiros, and Ivan Conti were never jazz.

Not to be confused with Azimuth (band), a British jazz trio. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Azymuth have also been involved in producing albums and their artists have been involved in several other projects through the years, including an album by Brazilian singer-songwriter Ana Mazzotti, and the 2005 debut album, Equilibria, by Alex Malheiros's daughter Sabrina Malheiros. They call their music "Samba Doido", which means "Crazy Samba". Since the advent of the remix, many of Azymuth's songs have been redone by a wide range of artists and musicians. 1984: Flame (Milestone). 1985: Spectrum (Milestone).

This album has an average beat per minute of BPM (slowest/fastest tempos:, BPM). 1. Make Mine Guaraná (Só Bebo Guaraná, Mas). 2. Afternoon (Tarde).

Recorded at Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California and at Transamerica Studios, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Thanks to snobb for the addition.

Creators of the samba doido ( crazy samba ) the Brazilian power trio Azymuth reached their zenith of popularity during the early 1980s when the two albums paired on this Milestone reissue were first released. Theirs was a collective music infused with a variety of influences including everything from Bossa Nuevo and indigenous Indio rhythms to space rock and fusion.
