"Djavan is one of the best in Brazil. Already considered one of the greatest in Brazil, this singer/songwriter had, in the US, Lee Ritenour and Manhattan Transfer (in spite of the very poor lyrics versions they came up with for the "Brasil" album...) sampling his work. Track number 10, Oceano, is one of the most beautiful songs he's ever written. Paco de Lucia makes a soulful, incredibly beautiful appearance here. I'm pretty sure you'll love to listen to this guy. I also recommend his live albums, vol. I and II. Enjoy !"
Buy Oceano, not this one

"This is the english-friendly version of Oceano. I have both, and I definitely like Oceano better. Of course I understand the lyrics in portuguese. If you do not speak portuguese and are not willing to try, then buying this cd may give you a glimpse of his poetry, and therefore, may be worth buying... otherwise GET OCEANO."
