The original Banda Black Rio were one of the great Brazilian bands of the 1970s and 80s. Formed by saxophonist Oberdan Magalhães, they were pioneers of the country's soul, samba and funk movement, and played a key role in Rio's black music scene in the days of the military dictatorship. The band stopped playing after Oberdan's death in 1984, but have now been revived by his son William, a singer and multi-instrumentalist who wrote or co-wrote every track on a set that's remarkable mostly for the number of celebrities who agreed to join in. Left to themselves, as on the title track, the band play cool, tight and rhythmic jazz-funk with a Brazilian edge, mixing brass with keyboards and guitar. They are great musicians, but sound even better as a backing band. Here, they are joined by a cast that includes the new samba hero Marcio Local and the charmingly relaxed Seu Jorge. There's a cool, drifting ballad from Gilberto Gil, and a lilting, slinky reminder from Caetano Veloso of the way Brazilian soul-funk was influenced by bossa and samba. Best of all, there's another great veteran, Elza Soares, with her upbeat, finger-clicking treatment of Isabela proving she is still in magnificent form.
