Rated 7/10
Thanks to the sole English review, I was able to piece up together an opinion, that otherwise would've just be me stating how anonymous it feels due to me being unable to connect with the lyrics.
I always imagined this is what favelas sounded like. Happy melancholy. Sort of like how Bosnia feels most of the time. Even the poetic depiction of people down on their luck is spot on: reality mixed with wittiness and dark humor. On the musical side of things, it's a host of different vocalists, singing a host of different indigenous variant of samba (though they all sound the same to me), all with passing grades. It reminds of the melancholy of Dorival Caymmi, but more urban.
I wish I understood Portuguese, as I think the real beauty is hidden beyond the language barrier. Still, even without a direct understanding, I found it really nice and enjoyable. Another approving grade for the Vanguard Paulista!
