Another masterpiece.

"Forget tracks 2-11 for a minute. If this album only had "Terra" on it, I'd say buy it and expect it to take up semi-permanent residence in your CD player. Although there may be better all-around albums from Caetano, there are several other perfect tracks here, too. "Sampa", for instance, has already become a standard (if proof were needed, it has been performed recently by Joao Gilberto in concert alongside Tom Jobim and Dorival Caymmi gems). And "Sao Joao, Xango Menino" is one of Caetano's finest collaborations with Gilberto Gil. And for the amorous, hey, try "Muito Romantico" on your next enchanted evening."
