Samba Carioca

Samba Carioca is a 2010 album by guitarist and vocalist Vinicius Cantuária.

Music and recording
The album was produced by Arto Lindsay. "While some of the melodies are quintessential bossa fare, the lyrics often have something of the enigmatic beauty of haiku: 'Berlin', for instance, takes a backward glance at the Siegessäule column in the Tiergarten".

Reception
The Independent's reviewer described it as "laid-back, drifting samba-jazz". The Sunday Times commented that it "cements his reputation as one of Brazil's finest exports".
