"Som, Sangue e Raça" remains one of the milestones of Brazilian music. Dom Salvador e Abolição's music is a funky and gentle mix of samba, soul, rock, jazz, forro and baião. The band's sound was an important influence on the successful group Banda Black Rio. "Som, Sangue e Raça" still stands out for its catchy and groovy melodies and shows the band's wide range. All of this makes this samba/soul classic a must for all music collectors.
