the BPM during the bongos session slowly increased from around 128 to 135 while all the players were in sync, splendid.

[teddybreihan]

those percussionists are having so much fun

[samuelferreira]

Nós brasileiros nem paramos pra ouvir o nosso bom e velho Baião, daí vem os gringos e mostram o quão bom ele é ! Grande Snarky !

[reev]

3:03 way to segue one person's solo seamlessly into another! It's like both trumpeters shared the same idea. Snarky Puppy's musicians know how to listen to each other in a deeply respectful and creative way. These folks are interdependent... not overly independent or dependent. What a balance.

[carlbm]

Most rhythmical gringos playing Latin percussion ever. Awesome.

HOW DO PEOPLE MANAGE TO SIT IN ON THIS. I'VE NEVER BEEN SO JEALOUS

[camelcase]

I really just love how every song seems to let someone in the group shine. The solos are so awesome.

[aimDiego]

I love how universal these guys are, they can take you from the Jazz from New Orleans, to a funky blues rythm from Chi town, and end up in the deepest ends of Latin America with songs like this.

[thadima]

shout out to the unsung trio keeping it funky

[berengerayers]

Multiple percussionists, multiple guitarists, one bass player to pull it all together. Michael League is insane

[JonatasCarvalhoKeys]

Senhor, que esse Ritmo devore o Funk!!!! Améeem!! :D
Brasil♥

[rockjaw]

Oh god the trumpet solo parts! Amazing!

[DavisSchulz]

you guys are all freaking great, thanks for this.

[asoaresjr]

A great tribute to one of Brazil's signature sounds!

[Jake_Prism]

My god the percussion on this track is insane! The whole album even, respect to Nate Werth & Co.

[PeterErwin]

That Trumpet Section and the solo at 3:33. Respect! 

[Canonall]

Just now really getting into snarky puppy and every time I see a video from like 5 years ago I ask myself wtf was I doing and why wasn't this recommended before? This is right up my alley.

[OmniIllu]

Snarky Puppy just can't fail...awesome percussion solo towards the end.  But 2:39-2:45 had me absolutely weak!!!!  

[hella_cool]

I like this song because it's something a sufficiently-badass high school advanced jazz band could set their sights on performing

[tyruswilliams]

I didn't think this band could get any better, then they added Bob Reynolds. Crazy!
