In Malandro's tropical spectrum is Brazilian popular music, also known by the initials MPB. Examples of this genre include Simone, Jorge Benjor, and Djavan. One legend of that genre is Carlos Malta, whose career began with the birth of that genre in the '60s. Malta is master of all seven instruments in the saxophone family and exhibits his skills on the Malandro release Jeitinho Brasiliero (Brazilian Way). by Tom Schulte
