Description

Spiritual, intimate and revolutionary, yet firmly rooted in Brazil's folklore. Africadeus was the breakthrough album of the mighty Nan? Vasconcelos, in which he discovered the berimbau to the world and took the instrument to a universal level. Having played in the shadows for other artists such as Milton Nascimento, Gato Barbieri or Som Imaginario, Nan? is here finally in the spotlight.

Recorded in 1973 in France for Pierre Barouh's Saravah label, this is the album that definitely imprinted Nan?'s name in the international scene, on his track to becoming one of the best percussionists of all times.

"Africadeus marque une ?tape de mon travail avec le "Berimbau", instrument qui est une des bases musicales de la mythologie afro-br?silienne."
