Camarão - The Imaginary Soundtrack To A Brazilian Western Movie

Score: 8.8 

German record label Analog Africa releases a compilation of tracks recorded by Brazilian forró sanfoneiro (accordionist) legend Maestro Camarão between 1964 and 1974 and, offhand, delivers the crunchiest, wildest piece of world music we can ever stumble upon to. The sixteen tracks that form it swirl on the edge of schizophrenia with their relentless percussion and rusty mixing, as they continually call for arms and revolution and party and sweat. There's an implacable force to this album, and a captivating sense of humanity that makes it the more otherworldly earthy.
