Clementina de Jesus, Doca & Geraldo Filme – O canto dos escravos: A folklore album, par excellence, since the music was discovered in the early 20th century among workers of African descent, these tunes being handed down from the mining slaves of yesteryear. An excellent musical document featuring soothing vocals and soft, natural percussion. Features instruments such as afoxé, agogô, caxixi, and ganzá.
