Raízes do Samba

Raízes do Samba is a series of compilation albums by EMI Records of notable Brazilian musicians, mostly of the bossa nova, samba and tropicalismo genres, released in the late 1990s. The musical selection was considered good by music critics, as the songs mostly represent the best of each artist.^[1][2] The collection stands out especially for representing the samba artist Monsueto, who at the time had little of his work recorded on CD.^[2][3] The cover of the albums is standardized, each artist had a photo placed over an image of the Carioca Aqueduct.^[1]
