MATANÇA DO PORCO

Remarcably album of one of the most creative bands of the Brazilian progressive music scene. Som Imaginário, after changing from the more psychedelic playing that drove their early sound (probably derived from the idiosyncrasies of Zé Rodrix - remember the song "Cenouras"), produced a more elaborated and even better recorded album.

The music leads you smoothly from jazzy guitars and interludes reminiscent of bossa nova and chorinho from one to another without tiring or with excess. The participation of Milton Nascimento is also beautiful and strong - Som Imaginário even recorded a album with him in 1970.

Great work, worth to be heard and praised. I did give 4 stars to this album, but the repeat listening to their melodies makes me wonder if there are thing less deserving in PA of five stars, and have, why not five stars to "A Matança do Morto"? So it is.
