File Under: Brazilian Folk. It's about time to uncover the most unknown Brazilian music style. Unlike other Brazilian musical traditions as samba and bossa-nova, never ever anything of caipira music has been released outside Brazil. Repairing this huge gap, Vampisoul presents Helena Meirelles - <i>A Rainha da Viola Caipira</i>, a stunning 25-track compilation of the revered Queen Of The Viola Caipira, Mrs Meirelles. A stunning compilation of the revered Queen of The Viola Caipira, Helena Meirelles, once included in the Top 100 World's guitar players by Guitar Player Magazine. On this double-LP anthology you will face some of the most expressive Helena's creations. 'Guaxo', for example contains an ultra-melodic guitar riff that will stick in your ears for ages while 'Mercedita' has an evolving rifferama. 'Saudades Do Meu Velho Pai', on the other hand, is a typical baião, a very peculiar Northeastern rhythm in Brazil, de-constructed by her very own style. 'Flor Da Guavira' is a delicious caipira-ballad. These are only a few great ones, amongst so many other exquisite, and unusual delights. A fascinating journey into one of the lesser covered Brazilian genres, caipira, rich in folk and country music elements. Reissued on vinyl for the first time.
