"Never has a sample library been so aptly titled...the playing - by Duda Moura - is accomplished...There are plenty of variations in each style, too. Fans of Brazilian rhythms will lap this one up, but at this price.... worth a punt if you fancy trying something a bit different."

Never has a sample library been so aptly titled: this one really does purely feature Brazilian beats. As such, you'll probably have a good idea already as to whether or not it's going to be your thing. Things get off on the right foot with the news that the samples come in audio, Acid-ready .wav, aiff, Rex 2, EXS24 and Akai formats.

What's more, the playing - by Duda Moura - is accomplished: there are sessions in Axé, Balao, Bossa Nova, Frevo, Ijexá, Samba, Samba-Funk, Speed Samba and Xote styles.
Listen to the audio and you quickly come to understand how these differ - the tempos range from 58bpm right up to 154bpm. There are plenty of variations in each style, too. Fans of Brazilian rhythms will lap this one up, but at this price, it might also be worth a punt if you fancy trying something a bit different.

Rated: 7/10
