Ferrante & Teicher - Brazil Adios

Review by Renee Huggins

Brazil Adios is a captivating album by the legendary duo Ferrante & Teicher. This album, released in 1967, features a collection of traditional Brazilian music that is both vibrant and soothing. The piano arrangements by Ferrante & Teicher are a perfect blend of classical and Latin American styles.

The album opens with the title track "Brazil Adios," a melancholic tune that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The following tracks, such as "Carnival in Rio" and "Bahia," are more upbeat and lively, featuring rhythmic piano melodies that are sure to get anyone dancing.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Manha de Carnaval," which is a beautiful rendition of the theme song from the classic Brazilian film Black Orpheus. Ferrante & Teicher's interpretation of this song is both haunting and mesmerizing, with their piano playing evoking the longing and passion of the film's characters.
