"This CD has some of the best Nordeste Brasil style music I have ever heard. I never tire of listening to it. The songs "Me Pegue Pra Chamegar" and "Paraiba Meu Amor" are especially impressive. The sound quality is very high and for those intereted in pop art the photo of Elba on the back of the CD rivals that of Kate Bush on the back of the "Lionheart" LP jacket. I also like the variety of the songs she sings. The songs are very modern with a much better mix than on "O Melhor de 2" where the songs are repetitious. Although I like Elba's singing in "O Grande Encontro", expecially "Sabia", I think this studio recording is even better."
Beautiful Music

"I came across this CD when I visited Brazil. This is beautiful music even if you don't understand the language. Elba is a sensational performer with a powerful voice. I have been listening to the CD continuously for two years and I am not tired of it yet."
