The
pulsating rhythms of Pe De Boi — the power samba band — have
electrified the New York club scene since 1980. Born of the rich
Brazilian musical tradition and inflected with elements of jazz, rock
and salsa, the songs on this album feature as many as 10 different
percussionists. Band founder and leader Guilherme Franco — a native of
Brazil, a veteran of the McCoy Tyner group and one of the leading jazz
percussionists in the word — named his group for a Brazilian slang
term whose literal translation is the "foot of an ox," but whose real
meaning is a musician with a great sense of rhythm. Their unique
sound, intricate rhythms and contagious high spirits have been turning
on audiences and making people move from the very first beat of the
music.
