"I've been a fan of Ivan Lins since the Love Dance album (1989) and the fabulous AWA YIO. Unfortunately, what little of Ivan's music made it to the radio airwaves disappeared with the mechanical format of "Lite Jazz". So Lady Luck was smiling the day that I happenened on the Grammy award winning "Cantando Historias". But as wonderful as that CD is, the reality is that it just made me hungry for more Ivan music. So when a co-worker informed me that he was going to Brazil in the summer of 2006, I begged him to find me some Ivan CD's and he came back with Acariocando. LITERALLY from the first track "A gente merecer ser feliz", I was in Heaven! Listen to it and you will be transported too!
The proof is that whenever I play this CD at work, people always ask me what I'm listening to. The big problem is that nobody has any way to get their hands on a copy of this CD, short of flying to Brazil. It's not available on iTunes, and so far I haven't found a retail outlet carrying it. Sorry folks, I'm not about to let my copy out of my sight!!!"
