Our Take

In a world where mediocrity reigns supreme, Thiago Franca & A Espetacular Charanga do Franca have burst onto the scene like a technicolor dream with their latest album, "The Importance Of Being Espetacular." This dynamic duo has flipped the script on traditional music norms, injecting their unique blend of jazz, funk, and Brazilian rhythms into every track.

From the infectious grooves of "Funky Franca" to the sultry saxophone solos on "Samba Strut", this album is a rollercoaster ride of sonic delight. Franca's virtuoso skills on the saxophone are on full display, weaving in and out of each track with precision and flair. The Espetacular Charanga do Franca provides the perfect backdrop, with their tight rhythms and infectious energy propelling the songs forward.

But it's not just about the music with this band – their quirky, offbeat personalities shine through on every track. From the whimsical album artwork to the tongue-in-cheek song titles, it's clear that Franca & Co. don't take themselves too seriously. And that's exactly what makes this album so refreshing.

So if you're tired of the same old, same old in the music industry, do yourself a favor and give "The Importance Of Being Espetacular" a listen. Thiago Franca & A Espetacular Charanga do Franca are here to shake things up, and we're all better off for it.
