Maracatu drums & sax (1997) - Chr.Haas, perc, voc; Nikola Lutz, sax, fl.; R. Kuschel, A.Reith, M.Stage, B.Klein, perc.; u.a.
During carnival the lively Maracatú-Bands (Percussion and brass) roam through the streets of Olinda, an ancient but beautifully restored city in the northeastern part of Brasil. 'Drums n' Sax' is the first recording of a german project which effectfully adapts not only the maracatú, samba and frevo elements from brazil, but also a variety of influences from renaissance dances to arabian trance-rhythms and HipHop.
