  This CD is about carnival music of Brasil and New Orleans I have mixed some of the basic New Orleans Street beats with some Brazilian rhythms. It has been a very enlightening and enjoyable experience. I think our New Orleans music can be mixed with any type of music but for my opinion about which Brasilian rhythm fits best with New Orleans rhythm it would be a rhythm call Ilu for the Orixa Yansa. After speaking with my teacher Jorge Alabe Condomble Master drummer all his life. Alabe means Cheif of Drummers and knowege of Condomble traditions . I like to thank all the people that helpedout my wife, my son Casa Samba Members and Jorge Alabe my whole family for all the support they have always given. Some of the musicians are Curtis Pierre aka “The SambaMan” Big Cheif Irvin Banister Big Chief Shaka Zulu, Drew Mo, Robert Gray, Jorge Alabe,Bomani Pierre and Herman Helphan "Air-ree buy-fum-ear" translation everybody is from here in New New Orleans This CD was put together with both live musicians, sequencers and synthesizers. This music is great for class workouts, choreography, exercising or just to listen if you want to. All the rhythms are traditional or a version of traditional form.
