Saudades -- a kind of longing of (and for) a heart
Rafiq Lehmann | Singapore | 08/24/2001

"It's a bit of a cliche to say that there is no word for saudade in the English language -- but it's true. And it's also true that no other band compares to Legiao Urbana. This, their second release, is not an incredibly slick production; studio effects are kept to a minimum.
