Celso Martins & Tiãozinho Principe - Brasimet Na MPB

Review by Benjamin Black

Brasimet Na MPB, the latest collaborative album by Brazilian musicians Celso Martins and Tiãozinho Principe, is a delightful fusion of traditional MPB (Brazilian Popular Music) with the sounds of brass instruments. The album features original compositions as well as covers of classic MPB songs, all arranged with a unique brass-heavy twist.

The album opens with the upbeat and catchy "Alegria de Viver," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The brass section, featuring trumpet and trombone, adds a vibrant and celebratory energy to the music. The duo's rendition of "Casa no Campo" is a standout track, with the brass instruments taking center stage and giving the song a completely new dimension.

Throughout the album, Martins and Principe showcase their impressive musicianship, both as instrumentalists and vocalists. Their harmonies are tight and their playing is precise, making for a polished and cohesive sound. The album also features guest appearances by other talented Brazilian musicians, such as percussionist Marcos Suzano and singer Zé Renato.
