While I tend to agree with you in general, Parabo'lica does
contain one incredible song: Madelena.  According to Beat
magazine, it was the hit of this year's Carnaval.  Personally I
find it very dancable and not "funky" at all, thank goodness.
And if you pay attention to the words (in Portuguese but the CD
notes have a translation), you will discover one of the most
incredible songs about poverty you've ever heard.  The refrain
of the song is by Madelena's mother, who tells her that since
she is named for a saint, she should go to the nearest chapel
and light a candle so she won't go hungry.  It's the *way* that
Gil sings the song that gives a meaning to the words that I
can't hope to convey here.  I think the song is simply amazing,
both as a dance tune and as poetry.

Note: I sure would like to be able to get Gil's Fazenda and
Refavela on CD.  I like them much better than the stuff he's
been doing the last few years (Luar, Raca Humana, etc.).  And,
of course, his early "Tropicalia" stuff is wonderful.

I heard that Gilberto Gil will be playing on the David
Letterman show on November 20th and again, I believe,
the 30th on the tonight show. 

Some new releases in the states:

	Alceu Valenca - sete or setimo desejos
		Excellent/listen to the new version of
		Papagaio do Futuro.
	Martinho Da Vila - Can't remember the title
                but has a samba/rap piece called Eh Brasil!
		very good LP.
	Tom Ze - David Byrne's 5th Brasil compilation.  Again 
		 I don't know the exact title, but it begins
                 with "hips".  I heard it was excellent, but
                 have not bought it yet.

A number of things were recently released in Brasil which may
make there way up here.  These include:

	Toquinho
	Daniela Mercury
	Vania Bastos
	Cidade Negra
	Maria Bethania
	Emilio Santiago
	Elba Ramalho
	Adriana Calcanhoto
	Neguinho da Beija Flor
	
Of these Daniela Mercury's LP is very good (I heard one of the
big hits in Brasil).  Maria Bethania's has one excellent song
write by bahiano's Jorge Portugal and Roberto Mendes.

Best,

John

There is no FAQ that I remember seeing (perhaps it is because this is a
fairly young group, and because traffic is light). I'm sure others have
a different list of players, but here's mine: Eddie Palmieri (check the
LP "The Sun of Latin Music"), Ray Barretto, Celia Cruz, Willie Colon,
Joe Cuba, Ismael Miranda, Larry Harlow, Tito Puente, Machito, Joe Bataan.

For the history, there have been a number of recording which document 
both Cuban and Puerto Rican roots/folk music which form the base of
modern day salsa. Any record store worth walking into should carry
these in an Afro-Cuban/Latin/Salsa section.

Different names define different rhythmic emphasis. It is fine to just
listen, but to know what you are listening to means doing some
investigation. There are 3 excellent new compilations that cover
Brazilian samba, bossa nova, and afro styles respectively (on
Verve? someone help me here): one listen to a samba should tell
you how it differs from salsa. In salsa there is what is called
a clave, a rhythmic pattern that may vary or be turned inside out,
but which runs through the music. The samba clave is very distinct.

Orchestra De La Luz. They swing hard. I'd start with the classics
but for modern day derivatives this band is worth considering. I'm
partial to Colombian artists like Joe Arroyo and Los Nemus Del
Pacifico.

"Rivers of Babylon" was originally issued on a JA pressed LP on
the Blue Mountain label in about 1970. I haven't seen this in
years. However it is easily available on "The Harder They Come"
soundtrack, an album that combines several Jimmy Cliff songs
with an overview of JA music circa '72. Island/Mango also
issued a Melodians compilation a few years ago, but that is
out of print.

The two best Culture albums are early ones, "Two Sevens Clash" from
1976/77, and "Cumbolo" from about 1980. I do not know if these are
still in print.

Hello group. Please excuse a couple of basic questions. I've just become
interested in cuban/brazilian music from the work of David Byrne (of Talking
Heads fame).

1) Is the an FAQ for this group. I want to know the big players in salsa music,
   as well as learn some history of the style.

2) How do I define salsa vs. samba vs. all the other terms I see relative
   to this music? Or am I getting too caught up in terms and should just relax
   and  enjoy the sound.

3) I recently saw a newsfeed about a group of Japanese folks (band name began
   "Orchestra ...") that sing/play latin music. Any ideas about the full name

Thanks for any help.

Both of these are still in print, on Shanachie.  For a first Culture CD,
I'd recommend the Virgin/Front Line best of, which includes selections
from CUMBOLO and other late '70s recordings.
 
After that, just about anything would be good.  I've never heard a Culture
album that wasn't above average -- they have been very consistent.

	I went to the Discovery Disc Club and from what they are telling me
the store on the campus of the Univ. of PA in philadelphia is the only one.
Members can order/trade/buy used CDs that have been turned in by fellow members
who want to turn in CD they bought elsewhere. As a member you can listen
to new releases as well as old CDs. Members get a discount on CDs. Used CDs can
be purchased at a lesser value than the regular prices ranging from 6.00 to
12.00 dollars. It also depends on what they have in stock. A new list of

Excuse me, but shouldn't that be "Clara WAS one of the best..."?  Or is your

Hi there, I'd like to add some entries to this list sent by my compadre
Pedro:
		* Flora Purim: Queen of the night. With songs
		  by Milton N et al. I particularly like
		  "Meu Mestre Coracao", which also appears
		  in Milton's Yauarete.
		* Jorge Bem Jor: Live from Rio. Funky is the word that
		  describes this work.
		  I like "Ivory coast", with a sensual drive,
		  and several funky sambas.
		* Sergio Mendes: Brasileiro. This is Sergio's World-Beat
		  approach to brazilian music, lots of percussion and
		  choruses. Listen to "What is this?" (in English!)
		* Clara Nunes: The Best. This is a compilation by
		  Blue Note. Good sample. Clara IS one of the
		  best samba female singer from Brasil.

Enjoy it and Saludos to everybody.

     I had the immense pleasure of seeing Youssou N'Dour and the Super Etoile
de Dakar this past thursday (11/12) in Philadelphia.  I had recorded their
"Mountain Stage" special on pbs back in 1990, but seeing them on video doesn't
begin to do justice to the excitement of this group.  If they come to your

The set (pardon the pun for you Y.N. fans) consisted of a bulk of the songs
from the new album "Eyes Open".  A few chestnuts were pulled out of the grab
bag however, such as the title tracks from "Immigres" and "Nelson Mandela" and
the track 'Kocc Barma' from "The Lion".  The material from "Eyes Open" is
really solid and the more rocking numbers like 'Live Television' and 'Yo Le
Le' really got the crowd hyped up.
