*1966 · No. 7 in [Samba](https://waxonia.com/genre/samba/)*

Afro-sambas — Powell and Vinicius de Moraes going to the candomblé terreiros for melodies and coming back with something darker than bossa allowed.

### [Berimbau](https://waxonia.com/track/baden-powell--berimbau/)

*1963 · No. 8 in [Bossa Nova](https://waxonia.com/genre/bossa-nova/)*

Bossa turning back towards Bahia and capoeira rather than towards jazz. Powell's guitar is percussive in a way Gilberto's deliberately is not.
