As a title, Samba Só (Samba Alone), works in only the most intimate sense: One man’s voice and guitar. But Alfredo Del-Penho—singer, composer, actor, music scholar and veteran of Rio de Janeiro’s samba houses—freely admits the album name is otherwise in jest: Samba is never alone. “It’s not so much a music genre as the story of a people,” he said in a recent interview. Samba is a society with its own clubs, rituals and holidays, and as much as it’s an expression of Brazilian culture, Del-Penho added a layer of democracy with a series of shows at which he introduced 25 new songs and distributed ballots so audience members could vote on their favorites for his third solo release. The 15 tracks that made the cut represent a range of subgenres—including samba-canção, samba de terreiro and a generous helping of bossa nova. Never really unaccompanied, he also has a small society of friends who wrote lyrics for 11 of the melodies. But if samba performance is rarely singular, it often starts alone, and the album’s lead track, Desengaiola (Uncaged) uses a bird flying free as a metaphor for the creative process (video 1). The ensuing songs mostly occupy love’s downhill slope. In Depois da Hora (Late), Del-Penho sings Joyce Moreno’s feminine lyric about a date that begins badly (video 2), while finality is manifest in Não Há Mais Espaço pra Nossa Amizade (No Room Left for Our Romance, video 3). All chatty syncopated humor, Quando Te Esqueci (When I Forgot You), is another title delightfully struggling for precision (video 4). One song escapes the troubled romance paradigm: Tudo É Milagre (Everything Is a Miracle) projects a toddler’s-eye view of the world. And with his smooth, tender voice, seven-string guitar and deep investment in samba’s history, Del-Penho offers fresh sambas that give a century-old movement another childhood. (Tratore)
