I’m Fine, How Are You?

From HitStory, the pop encyclopedia of School of Rock · Work

I’m Fine, How Are You? · I'm Fine, How Are You? is a 1977 album by the Brazilian drummer and percussionist Airto Moreira. Many guests play on the record: the singer Flora Purim, the saxophonist Tom Scott, the trombonist Raul de Souza and the bassist Jaco Pastorius, who can be heard on Nativity. The Uruguayans Ruben Rada and Hugo Fattoruso wrote a number of the songs.

The record is full of percussion and mixes Brazilian and Latin American rhythms with jazz. The first side includes La Tumbadora and The Happy People, the second side The Road Is Hard (But We're Going To Make It) and Celebration Suite. Fragments of Celebration Suite were later used as the basis for Samba de Janeiro, Bellini's 1997 hit.

Listening

Listening tip. Listen to Celebration Suite and notice the layers of percussion that together form a driving rhythm.
