Saudação Ao Rei Nagô - Orquestra Afro Brasileira (1958)

The band was born in 1942. They recorded only two albums in 1958 and 1968. During 30-years career, they only played hundred concerts. This first album foreshadows all Brazilian modern music. Afro Brasilera's charismatic leader is Abigail Moura who was the first artist to catch from Macumba music rituals rhythms and instruments such as: Agôgô, Adêjà, Urucongo, Afoxê, Canza, Atabaques, Angona-Puita. Abigail Moura was not initiated into African Orishas but he was proceeding Macumba or Candomble rituals before each concert. His music comes from ritual songs, African thythm, Jazz, brass band and much more. This extremely rare record is part of Brazil's greatest treasure. http://orogod.blogspot.com/2012/12/ending-post-orquestra-afro-brasileira.html
