CD Reviews

Not the place to start

Idiosyncrat | California | 06/20/2003

(3 out of 5 stars)

"This collection concentrates on late 70's/early 80's Ben. This is not considered to be his best period (60s to late 70s). Not that this collection is bad, but this won't do as a Jorge Ben best-of."

Beautiful timeless brazilian dance music

"short review: A great cd and well worth the money. Great performances, great production and great sound.longer review: I dont think this cd was meant to represent Jorge's entire career best, just one beautiful & inspiring part of it. A gem within the crown of his career.

I enjoyed this cd alot. It has very upbeat & joyfully danceable tracks. I am not familiar with Jorge's earlier work, and do not speak portuguese, but this cd sounds very fine to me. Its from the funky 70's, but sounds timelessly fun. This collection complements many of my other brazilian records from other time periods including the 40s, 50s, 60s, 80s, 90s, & 00. All so different, yet all having that underlying brazilian musical style that unifies them all. One track on this collection gave Rod Stewart the underlying melody/rhythm for his "do you think im sexy" "hit" of the 70's. One might think "big deal" to that influence and say "Rod's song doesnt appeal to me anyway." Fine by me. However, hearing Jorge's original was quite enjoyable & beautiful in its original context. The layers of sound in Jorge's style are very appealing to me. Yet he makes it seem so easy. Both, Brazilian & US American music, have been influenced by each other, and by many other countries/peoples, over the years. This album further builds on that fact. Noone is an island when it comes to artistic ideas & influences.A Brazilian cd to appeal to the mind, heart, ear, & feet of the listener(especially me!)...enjoy"
