Brazilian music is better known for its sambas, choros, and other grooves from the Northeastern and Southeastern regions. The South region has a rich folklore of its own, with influences from the neighboring Spanish-spoken countries (especially Argentina and its milongas, chamamés, and tangos).
Luiz Carlos Borges is an excellent accordion player who is dedicated to the folklore of his region, and he is quite good at that. In general, the production of the South is really simple harmonically and melodically, with conservative and short solos.
Luiz Carlos extends the tradition in all these aspects, keeping himself strongly tied to the style's rules. Not superbly advanced music, the album is interesting and entertaining, and a good introduction for the genre. Contains
Borges' originals and classics of the chamamé, like
Transito Cocomarola's "Km 11."
