Review by Vicky Beal

Sivuca's Motivo Para Dançar is a delightful album that perfectly captures the essence of Brazilian music. The album features a mix of traditional Brazilian rhythms such as forró, samba, and choro, as well as jazz and blues influences. Sivuca's virtuosity on the accordion is evident throughout the album, and he is accompanied by a talented group of musicians who create an infectious groove.

The album opens with "Feira de Mangaio," a lively forró tune that immediately sets the tone for the rest of the album. The title track, "Motivo Para Dançar," is a catchy samba that will have listeners tapping their feet and moving to the beat. "Adeus Maria Fulô" is a beautiful choro that showcases Sivuca's skill on the accordion, while "Sivuca no Forró" is a rollicking forró that will have listeners dancing in their seats.

One of the highlights of the album is "Adeus Batucada," a classic Brazilian samba that features Sivuca's accordion and vocals. The song is a tribute to the great samba schools of Rio de Janeiro and is sure to be a hit with fans of Brazilian music.

Summary by Vicky Beal

Motivo Para Dançar is a must-have for fans of Brazilian music and anyone who loves great accordion playing. Sivuca's talent and passion for music shine through on every track, making this album a true gem.
