ADONIRAN BARBOSA - SEU ÚLTIMO SHOW GRAVADO AO VIVO

Adoniran Barbosa's sambas are one of a kind. They are malicious, but also melancholic and fun, usually inspired by the poor Italian immigrants in São Paulo on the first half of the 20th century, boasting a peculiar accent and accurate daily life descriptions. This album brings Adoniran's final live performance, recorded in 1979, three years before his death. The CD features 13 of his memorable songs, interpreted with his husky and unique voice, as well as comedy-like stories that he used to tell on stage. Check out Uma Simples Margarida (Samba do Metrô), Já Fui uma Brasa and the ultra-rare Rua dos Gusmões. (Rodrigo Faour)
