It's about time to uncover the most unknown Brazilian music style. Unlike other Brazilian musical traditions as samba and bossa-nova, never ever anything of caipira music has been released outside Brazil.

Repairing this huge gap, Vampisoul presents Helena Meirelles - A Rainha da Viola Caipira, a stunning 25-track compilation of the revered Queen Of The Viola Caipira, Mrs Meirelles.

A stunning compilation of the revered Queen of The Viola Caipira, Helena Meirelles, once included in the Top 100 World's guitar players by Guitar Player Magazine.

On this double-LP anthology you will face some of the most expressive Helena's creations.

'Guaxo', for example contains an ultra-melodic guitar riff that will stick in your ears for ages while 'Mercedita' has an evolving rifferama.

'Saudades Do Meu Velho Pai', on the other hand, is a typical baiao, a very peculiar Northeastern rhythm in Brazil, de-constructed by her very own style.

'Flor Da Guavira' is a delicious caipira-ballad. These are only a few great ones, amongst so many other exquisite, and unusual delights.

A fascinating journey into one of the lesser covered Brazilian genres, caipira, rich in folk and country music elements.

Reissued on vinyl for the first time. Considered by the Guitar Player Magazine, one the 100 greatest guitar players of all time, don't miss the chance to discover a brand new kind of (Brazilian) folk music.
