Vicente (Do Nascimento) - Vem Comigo Ao Norte

Review by Jennifer Briscoe

Vicente's album Vem Comigo Ao Norte is a delightful collection of Brazilian folk music. The album features a range of traditional instruments and rhythms, including the accordion, zabumba, and triangle. The songs are sung in a lively, upbeat style, with Vicente's warm and expressive vocals leading the way.

The album opens with the title track, which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its energetic accordion and infectious rhythm. Other standout tracks include "Xote das Meninas," a playful tune with a catchy chorus, and "Forró no Escuro," a slower, more romantic ballad.

Throughout the album, Vicente's love for the music of his home region shines through. His arrangements are authentic and respectful of the traditional styles, while also incorporating modern elements to keep the sound fresh and contemporary.

Summary by Jennifer Briscoe

Vem Comigo Ao Norte is a joyous celebration of Brazilian folk music, and a testament to Vicente's talent as a musician and performer. Fans of world music and folk music alike will find much to enjoy in this album.
