Review by Ryan Hodgson

Baile De Brotos by Bolão: A Retro Gem That Still Swings Released in 1962, Baile De Brotos by Bolão is one of those albums that feels like a time capsule but still manages to surprise you. With its mix of pop and rock vibes, sprinkled with surf and rockabilly flavors, it’s a true snapshot of Brazilian music during a transformative era. Backed by Erlon Chaves e Sua Orquestra and featuring Bolão himself on tenor saxophone, this RCA Camden release hits all the right notes for fans of vintage sounds. Let’s talk tracks. First up, there’s “C’est Si Bon,” which might not be an original (it’s a cover of the French classic), but Bolão’s version brings something fresh to the table. The horn section pops with energy, and you can almost picture yourself strolling through Copacabana Beach in the early ‘60s. It's impossible not to hum along—it sticks to your brain like glue after just one listen. Then there’s “Runaway,” a tune that takes Del Shannon’s hit and gives it a samba twist. You’d think adding Brazilian flair to such a well-known song would feel forced, but here, it works beautifully. The rhythm has this infectious bounce, making it perfect for both dancing and daydreaming about summer nights. These two tracks alone make the album worth revisiting. Other songs like “Where The Boys Are” and “Little Devil” showcase Bolão’s knack for blending international influences with local style. While some tracks lean more lounge-y than lively, they never lose their charm. It’s clear Bolão wasn’t trying to reinvent the wheel; instead, he was having fun spinning it his way. What makes Baile De Brotos stand out isn’t just its genre-blending or catchy tunes—it’s how effortlessly cool it feels. Listening to it today, you get the sense that Bolão and his crew weren’t overthinking things. They let the music flow naturally, creating something timeless without even realizing it. Funny enough, as I was writing this review, my cat jumped onto my desk and started tapping her paw to “Dance On.” Maybe she knows something we don’t—music this good doesn’t need rules or explanations. Just press play, and let it take you where it wants to go.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: Back in 1962, a Brazilian musician named Bolão released an album called *Baile De Brotos*. It’s a mix of Pop and Rock with Surf and Rockabilly vibes. Fun fact—Bolão played the tenor saxophone, and he had Erlon Chaves and his orchestra backing him up. The album even includes covers of popular tracks like "Runaway" and "C'est Si Bon." It’s wild to think that these tunes were bringing a bit of surf rock energy to Brazil over 60 years ago!
