Why go to Brazil when you can bring BRASIL to you? Salomé De Bahia's second album is another tropicalia explosion. It's carnivale in just under an hour. There's plenty of finger-snapping moments on the immensely catchy "Pais Tropical" and the chorus on "Festa Para Um Rei Negro" will almost have you singing along. The famous "Mas Que Nada" gets a nice downtempo rub here, and the stripped-down (by comparison) "Brigette Bardot" lingers long after the the horns have quieted. A bit of cheeky charm creeps into "Mambo Bacan," and Michel Fugain lends his mellifluous voice to "Voce Abusou" as a counterpoint to de Bahia's powerhouse performances. But, in my eyes, the reclaiming of Barry Manilow's "Copacabana" is the album's high point. If Manilow was only toying with tropicalia, then Salome de Bahia serves it hot, fruit hat and all.
