MARCIO FARACO - COM TRADICAO
Marcio Faraco "Com Tradicao" Album Review
A Desert Island Disc!
(Also see additional reviews in the other listing for this album).
Marcio Faraco is one of the finest Brazilian musicians playing today. He is well known in France (where he lives) and other parts of Europe, though little known in the US. I emailed Marcio Faraco around the time COM TRADICAO. his 3rd album, was coming out. I speak no Portuguese and he knows little English. It didn't matter. He said that COM TRADICAO was a happier album than his previous two. Maybe it contains less "saudado" - that untranslatable Brazilian feeling. Com Tradicao is filled with an infectious joy that begins on the first track. Musically, this is the most diverse of Marcio's four recordings -- all of which are worth having. In addition to Marcio's lilting acoustic guitar, Com Tradicao has clarinet, pedal steel guitar, bass clarinet, a mandolin-sounding instrument from Brazil, and others, along with some of the finest percussion I have ever heard. His song craft is just as diverse, ballads, bossa nova and samba injected with rhythm & blues. Just get it...and listen.

VICO C - DESAHOGO
Vico C "Desahogo" Album Review
Incredible!
Vico C is an amazing rapper. I disagree with the people who say that he is a reggeaton singer because rap has always been his ambition. He is Puerto Rican and grew up in Brooklyn,NY. His inspiration was D.M.C. The reason he talks a lot about God and the reason that his lyrics and music are different from many other rappers is because he suffered a severe car accident that left him almost dead. After surviving, he has tried his best to keep his music in focus with God. I think that this is one of the main reasons of why he has been a big hit not only in Puerto Rico but also worldwide. His music is clean and brings a positive message to young and old and it doesn't talk about sex, which is the main subject of reggeaton. In fact, the song "Se Escaman" says "Esto es pa'que vean que no todo lo que vende es sexo", which translates to "This is to let y'all know that not only sex is sold". This new CD, Desahogo, talks a lot about society issues and how we as humans, who will never be perfect, can keep ourselves clean from things that aren't worth getting in to (drugs,violence[gangs],alcohol,ect.)If your really like good lyrics and clean messages with hip-hop, reggeaton, and caribbean beats, then you WILL like this CD.
