Review
In England, Viva Brasil has been on the inside track for a long time. DJ's especially love to spin "Skindo-le-le", the opening song of the album. Until today, Viva Brasil was nearly impossible to find in even the most specialized of record shops, save for bootlegs or limited editions that only collectors were allowed to enjoy.
Almost twenty years after the birth of this quite legendary and peculiar album, it is being re-released from the original source tapes to digitally remastered CD (7BR 3984 26694-2), so that Viva Brasil's classics once again can be found in your local or virtual record store.
The year was 1980. The place-- San Francisco. After several years gigging up and down the California West Coast, a group of Brasilians who migrated to the Golden State goes into a recording studio simply to record their band repertoire. The band's name is Viva Brasil and as it goes, so is the title of the record from that session: VIVA BRASIL.
Back in Brasil, bandleader and songwriter Claudio Amaral had already began pursuing his musical ambitions. After a visit to the San Francisco Bay Area in the "Post-Hippie" seventies, he remained in the city and made his living by being a street musician. Not long after, he performed in cafes and got booked to play small venues throughout the city. His one-man Brasilian show began to take the form of a real band, as other musicians often dropped in to play.
Claudio's natural songwriting talent proved to be very attractive to the funk, soul and hippie rock of local established musicians. Soon, a core of Brasilian and Californian musicians emerged, whose love for Brasilian music, together with the musical influences of the Bay Area, is what created the unique sound and charm of Viva Brasil's first album.
