REBUJO

'Queen of the Amazon' Dona Onete returns with her third album Rebujo which brims with joyous carimbós and high energy bangues as well as a cumbia, brega and samba. A cult figure turned crossover success in Brazil and an ambassador for Amazonian culture, the music Onete sings is a unique mix of rhythms from native Brazilians, African slaves and the Caribbean - epitomised in the joyous carimbós that are her trademark. Formerly a history teacher, folklore researcher, union representative, culture secretary and children's author - "I never thought I would be a singer" she claims - Onete recorded her debut album at 73. She is now one of Brazil's most in-demand artists with a packed schedule throughout Brazil and an increasing global profile that has seen her perform at Roskilde, Womad, Chicago World Music Festival and beyond. 01: Festa do Tubar–o 02: Carimbó Arrepiado 03: Mexe Mexe 04: Vem Chamegar 05: Musa da Babilônia 06: Tambor do Norte 07: Mistura Paidégua 08: Fogo na Aldeia 09: Aç–o Reaç–o 10: Balanço de Açaí 11: Galante Sedutor
