Saudades (Portuguese: "The Blues") is an album by Brazilian jazz percussionist Naná Vasconcelos recorded in March 1979 and released on ECM the following year. The ensemble features guitarist Egberto Gismonti backed by the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Mladen Gutesha.[1]

Reception

[edit]

The AllMusic review by John Storm Roberts awarded the album 4½ stars, stating, "This 1979 recording is probably Afro-experimentalist Vasconcelos' finest. It presents his various facets—berimbao playing, intricate overlain vocals, fine percussion, even gorgeous guitar—simply and almost overwhelmingly. This is one of those performances that remind one to never let natural dogmatism get too out of hand."[2]
