Man, someone pulled my coat on that album, Maria Fumaça, recently and I've been spinning it pretty heavy. I've got some more stuff from Banda Black Rio but I haven't had a chance to listen to any of the others yet. There's some nice finger style work on it. Here's another that's been occupying a lot of my time...
