Embolada literally means Tangled.
Villa-Lobos based this "tempo" on the music from the northeast region of Brasil.
There, Embolada is a kind of real fast singing (and game), where the words would "tangle" on theirselves if you have not the apropriate skill to sing it.
People also call it by another name: "Coco de Embolada".
The "Coco" is also a dance and many "Emboladas" are made for dancing.
I can only guess that Villa-Lobos was trying to bring to his music some of this dance and this game.

Excelente! Umas das melhores gravações que ouvi/vi. Achei um pouco rápido mesmo, pois acredito que apesar de ser uma Embolada ela já se caracteriza pelas várias melodias e contrapontos escritos, e não pela velocidade da música em si. Mas, sinceramente, ver o grupo tocando, sabendo o que está fazendo, se olhando, se movimentando junto... Ah... Isso apaga qualquer desavença quanto à velocidade! Espetacular! =D

Beautiful music. Although watching the players is distracting. Best to listen with eyes closed.

Five minutes ago I was listening to Katy Perry. I found this from a friend's suggestion, she doesn't even compare on the same scale as this. This is actually truly amazing.

So many cellos in one spot...
Interesting, this controversy about the tempo. You might be curious to check the tempo of 12 Cellists of the Berlin Philharmonic or the Rastrelli quartet, both on the YouTube.
