Dudu Tucci is a great Brazilian percussionist who now lives in Germany. This CD has many different rythmes such as Ijexa, Samba de roda, Samba reggae, Maracatu and a much more. Basically every track is different.

Buy it at CDnow.com Daniela Mercury - O canto da cidade This is the 1992 CD which made Daniela Mercury famous. The album features song written by Carlinhos Brown, Caetano Veloso and Chico Buarque. It is a great album to listen and Dance to, thanks to Daniela Mercury's strong voice and the percussion by members of Bloco Ile Aye. Buy it at CDnow.com Daniela Mercury - Her latest CD Too me it is the best of Daniela Mercury. Again the Percussion (by members of Ile Aye) is hard to resist.
