You can expect a blitz of Brazilian albums as the World Cup approaches, but DJ Gilles Peterson has produced something of a classic here. Helped by a distinguished team that includes Kassin from Orquestra Imperial, he travelled to Rio to record an album that mixes the old and new and features appearances from an impressive selection of Brazil's musical aristocracy. The set starts with the brooding drumming of Naná Vasconcelos, which recalls Afro-Brazilian Candomblé ceremonies, accompanied by Seun Kuti's spoken reminder of the musical links to Africa and the slave trade. Then the party picks up. There are songs from the delightfully laidback Seu Jorge and the breezy Emanuelle Araujo, but the standout tracks are by the great Elza Soares, now in her mid-70s but still in fine, husky voice. She even dares to re-work Aquarela Do Brasil, transforming the well-worn anthem into an intimate, emotional ballad.
