Grupo Batuque - Ole Ola: Futebol Bonito

Ole Ola is aimed at both fans of football and Brazilian/World music who will be looking for that authentic soundtrack to this summer's World Cup. Recorded in Rio during the carnival, the album is a celebration of football and samba and features some of Brazil's finest percussionists on one album: Dom Um Romao, Ivan Conti (Azymuth), Wilson Das Neves (The Ipanemas), Dom Chacal, Cidinho Moreira and members of Imperio Serrano, Rio's most traditional samba school.The vibe is full-on batucadas, funky swinging sambas, traditional football songs plus slamming electronic remixes from Da Lata, Osunlade, Fauna Flash and Zero dB, which all capture the spirit of Brazilian football. To complete the experience and capture the excitement of the stadium, live recordings from inside Rio De Janerio's Maracarna Stadium and Sao Paulo's Morumbi stadium are included, mixed in with snatches of classic radio commentary.
