Quinteto em Branco e Preto’s 2012 release Quinteto, issued by Radar Records, collects fifteen tracks steeped in samba and pagode tradition. The ensemble’s approach balances samba de primeira with contemporary touches, evident in titles like “Guardião dos Nossos Ancestrais” and “Entre Búzios e Santos.” The record’s textures favor rhythmic interplay and melodic clarity, steering clear of excess while honoring the genre’s lineage.This artifact, with a modest but dedicated audience on Last.fm, unfolds in measured pulses and familiar grooves. Tracks such as “Futuro de glória” signal the group’s commitment to samba’s roots and its ongoing resonance in Brazil’s musical canon. Quinteto serves as a worthy document of samba’s living tradition in the early 2010s, delivering both reverence and vitality within its fifteen selections.
