Os Devaneios
A Beleza E Voce Menina/embalo Diferente
'Embalo Diferente' is a sublime funky samba joint which has always ignited the dancefloor. It was featured on the band's 1978 album, 'O Conjunto Que Faz Você Vibrar,' which originally saw release on EMI. No crazy hype is needed for this one, just a fantastic straight-up, no messing samba funk made for dancing. A-side 'A Beleza É Você Menina' was taken from their 1979 album 'Raça Suor E Suingue' (also originally released on EMI), recorded only a couple of years after 'Embalo Diferente'. Whilst it remains in that samba mold, it has also taken on some of the vibe and characteristics of soul, Brazilian boogie and AOR from that late '70s and early '80s period. A feel-good and uplifting record, yet one which simultaneously has a hint of melancholy and is all the more beautiful for it.
