Marcos Sacramento, Ze Paulo Becker - Afro-Sambas 60 Anos (2026) [Hi-Res]

Brazilian musicians Marcos Sacramento and Zé Paulo Becker are launching a concert tour and a studio album in the first half of 2026 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the legendary 1966 record "Os afro-sambas de Baden e Vinicius." This collaborative project expands upon the original repertoire by incorporating omitted afro-sambas from the same period and features guest appearances from prominent contemporary MPB (Musica Popular Brasileira) artists.

The original 1966 masterpiece, composed by guitarist Baden Powell and lyricist Vinicius de Moraes, solidified "afro-samba" as a distinct musical genre. Arranged and conducted by maestro César Guerra-Peixe, the album blended traditional Afro-Brazilian Candomblé percussion instruments, such as the atabaque, agogô, and afoxé, with wind instruments and acoustic guitar. This landmark release underscored the fundamental importance of ancestral African roots in Brazilian music, establishing a cultural legacy that continues to resonate profoundly and inspire new artistic interpretations six decades later.
