MY CRATE

What's That Beat is a weekly crate dig — twelve slept-on albums, pulled from the bins and written up every Thursday.

Acabou Chorare by Novos Baianos

Acabou Chorare

Novos Baianos
1972 · Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
MPB

Guitars everywhere, tuned loose and joyful, like the whole band is grinning through the take. "Preta Pretinha" is the obvious high point — that samba-rock strum is instantly infectious — but the sequencing never lets the energy dip. This is the record Brazilian critics keep voting the best of all time and it's not hype, it's just that alive.
