Depois do Carnaval, O Sambalanço de Carlos Lyra - Carlos Lyra

Carlos Lyra combined lyrical elegance with an insistence on preserving samba's syncopated street swing, a style celebrated as sambalanço. Accompanied by the Tamba Trío, Lyra performs his own timeless compositions such as Influência do Jazz and Maria Ninguém. His witty, conversational vocal phrasing playfully critiques commercial dilution while reaffirming bossa nova's deep acoustic swing.
