Irian Jaya Novos Baianos - Bêbado de Novo

Review by Melih Ozan Dokuz

The album Bêbado de Novo by Irian Jaya Novos Baianos is a true masterpiece that showcases the band's unique blend of Brazilian rhythms, rock, and psychedelic influences. The album features a range of musical styles, from the upbeat and danceable "Samba da Minha Terra" to the dreamy and introspective "Bêbado de Novo." The band's playful and experimental approach to music is evident in tracks like "Ponteio" and "Swing de Campo Grande," which incorporate unexpected elements like electronic beats and jazz-influenced horn arrangements.

Throughout the album, the band's musicianship and creativity shine through, with each member bringing their own unique style to the mix. The vocals of Moraes Moreira and Baby Consuelo (later known as Baby do Brasil) are particularly standout, with their soulful and expressive performances adding depth and emotion to the songs.
