It really captures the frentic joyfulness of his style, and the breadth of his career Unfortunately, Pandeiro's records are nearly impossible to find in the States -- but if you see this one, it's a doozy! There are also plenty of accordion-based baiao tunes as well, though with vocal choruses and a smooth, groovy vibe that in some ways reminds me of the pagode samba style that would emerge a few years later.
