Various Artists Jambu - E Os Miticos Sons Da Amazonia

The history of "Jamb e Os Mticos Sons Da Amaznia" is the history of an entire city in its full glory. With bustling night clubs providing the best sound systems and erotic live shows, gossip about the whereabouts of legendary bands, singers turned into movie stars, supreme craftiness, and the creativity of a class of musicians that didn't hesitate to take a gamble, Jamb is an exhilarating, cinematic ride into the beauty and heart of what makes Par's little corner of the Amazon tick. The hip swaying, frantic percussion and big band brass of the mixture of carimb with siri, the mystical melodies of Amazonian drums, the hypnotizing cadence of the choirs, and the deep, musical reverence to Afro-Brazilian religions, provided the soundtrack for sweltering nights in the city's club district. The music and tales found in Jamb are stories of resilience, triumph against all odds, and, most importantly, of a city in the borders of the Amazon who has always known how to throw a damn good party.
