"Issued in honor of old-school samba singer Nelson Sargento's 80th birthday, this 4-CD set isn't a best-of set but rather a reissue of four albums, "bricked" together in a slipcase cover. The albums are: "Sonho De Um Sambista" (1979), "Encanto Da Paisagem" (1986), "So Cartola" (1999) and "Flores Em Vida" (2003) -- all catnip for fans of traditional samba and Brazilian MPB. There's also a slim booklet tucked in there as well, with some photos of Sargento and his crew... You can track these records down individually, but this is a nice compact package with all his solo albums in one place at one time. (DJ Joe Sixpack, Slipcue Guide To Brazilian Music)"
