The fantastic "Other Nunos"

"This is the Nuno Mindelis project I have been waiting for. This is a radical departure from the wonderful 12 Hours CD. All the songs are in Portuguese this time, and the styles wander from track to track. Not to worry, there are blues influences to be found -- and much more. Nuno's playing is tasteful throughout, whatever the genre, and the lyrics of the self-penned songs are pure Nuno. Tenho Medo is funny and clever, the acoustic Sao Paulo is simply gorgeous. On the track Siglas (Acronyms) Nuno sounds like he's doing Polish Hip Hop. Check out the lyrics. Chove Chuva? Be there.



Even if you don't know a word of Portuguese, if you love Nuno, you will want this CD. Every track will be a surprise for you, and as others have noted, Nuno Mindelis knows how to put together a coherent whole. My only regret is that before you know it the CD is over, and you are wanting more. If you've never heard Nuno, you can't go wrong with this CD."

A Diversion for this Bluesman

"If you have listened to Nuno Mindelis and his incredible blues guitar, this CD will be different. I want to emphasize that does not mean in any way that this is a disappointment. Be sure, it only show the diversity of his talents. This amazing guitar player shows that there is much more depth to his talent.



A word of caution is that the lyrics on CD are in Portuguese. But then if your liked Seu Jorge from "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou", you already know that understanding the lyrics are not always necessary.



Worth a listen."
