MR HERMANO - FREE AS THE MORNING SUN
Mr Hermano "Free as the Morning Sun" Album Review
Mellow mixed with Upbeat Euphoria
An overall good album for the jazz or brazilian enthusiast, but only a few tracks that I absolutely love. These tracks, however, I can listen to on and on and have yet to grow tired of. "Capoeira Love Affair" is a beautiful song, haunting portuguese vocals in the background. "Suco" is a typical upbeat latin jazz piece; I love the bass and piano, and the nice muted brass. The rest of the album, however, cannot be played extensively without growing tired of the boring and overly-optimistic lyrics. Nice instrumentation; unfortunately the vocals overwhelm.
BABADO NOVO - UAU AO VIVO EM SALVADOR
Babado Novo "Uau Ao Vivo Em Salvador" Album Review
Love the album
I was in the airport in Salvador and this DVD was playing. It was AMAZING!!! It's full of energy and the singer is really talented. I highly recommend this cd for people getting introduced to Brazilian pop music.
RABO DE LAGARTIXA - QUEBRA
Rabo de Lagartixa "Quebra" Album Review
Brazilian instrumental "choro novo" at its best!
Rabo de Lagartixa are among Brazil's finest "choro novo" musicians who manage to achieve the impossible: to preserve the great choro instrumental tradition, and to push the envelope forward into the year 2002. The traditional 7-stringed guitar (played fantastically by the great Marcello Gonçalves) and percussion (the renowned Beto Cazes), are joined by acoustic bassist Alexandre Brasil, and the unmistakable sound of Daniela Spielmann on soprano (and alto) sax. The result is joyful, inventive, yet definitely Brazilian. This is a truly great CD.
