Released worldwide by Kalimba records for the first time ever, this album was recorded at a major sports stadium in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil before a packed audience of over 100,000 people. Following a non-stop string of multi-platinum albums (such as “I Am” and “Raise!”), “Live in Rio” finds the original line-up of the legendary group in peak performance, reprising many of their classic hits including the chart-topping “Serpentine Fire.”
Augmented by the famed Phenix Horns, the phenomenally successful band included a number of their much-loved favorites for this memorable concert in Brazil: performances of tunes such as the hit remake of The Beatles “Got To Get You Into My Life” and key album cuts like “In The Stone” and “Can’t Let Go” (from “I Am”) and the natural crowd-pleaser “Brazilian Rhyme” (from the multi-platinum best-selling album “All N All” were recorded ‘live’ for the first time at this exciting, energy-filled unforgettable event.

Great for EWF Completists & Serious Fans!:
While we patiently wait for a new EWF studio CD, 'Live In Rio' should make the time pass faster.Taken from EWF's 1980 world tour, this CD MAINLY focuses on material from the classic 'All n All' & 'I Am' CDs, and that's a bonus because many of the songs on 'Live In Rio' have NEVER been available as 'live versions' before.The sound quality of 'Live In Rio' also benefits from today's remastering process, so your system will get a workout!
