A Step Back in Time to 1960s Rio De Janeiro that is Dedicated to Brazil"s National Pasttime. The Ipanemas Are Wilson Das Neves and Neco. Wilson is One of Brazil"s Most Prolific Drummers Whilse Neco is an Unassuming Genius of Bossa Nova Guitar. Both were Instrumental in Breaking Bossa Nova in Brazil Back in the 1950"s. In the Decades Since, They have Recorded with all the Brazilian Legends Including Elis Regina, Tom Jobim, Wilson Simonal, Chico Buarque and Elza Soares. The Duo"s Debut Album "os Ipanemas" was Recorded in Rio in 1964 for Cbs, Yet the Follow Up Wasn"t Recorded Until Almost 40 Years Later in 2001. "Samba is Our Gift" is their Third Album for Far Out Recordings, Where They Deliver their Most Impressive, Diverse and Arresting CD to Date. They Revisit this Wildly Creative Time and Play with the Musical Experience of Seasoned Veterans. It"s Highly Unlikely that Another Group of Musicians Would Be Capable of Creating the Magic Heard on their Recordings Ever Again.
