Sunrise (1984)

"Paulinho has always been considered one of the best percussionist in the world for decades; and this album is just another great example why. Paulinho first recorded this album in 1984 and back then it was considered to be music ahead of its time, and now is considered music still fresh and up-to-date. The combination of rhythms, instrumentation, and vocals are fantastic; especially those Samba-Jazz cuts full of life and samba grooves. A must-have album for Jazz and Brazilian Jazz lovers. Check classics "Taj Mahal" by Jorge Ben, "O Mare E Eu Chao" by Dori Caymmi and "Carioca"." (Amazon)
