CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com This eclectic compilation shows the syncopated and seductive evolution of the African-derived Brazilian samba and its offspring, the bossa nova. The CD features a new-wave series of moods and grooves tailor-made for the 21st century. There's angel-voiced Rosa Passos and her silky version of the Ary Barroso/Luiz Peixoto song "E Luxo So." Guitarist-vocalist Márcio Faraco's remake of Noel Rosa's samba-canção "Feitiço da Vila" is just as tasteful. The elegant, classically tinged Quarteto Jobim-Morelenbaum, led by cellist Jacques Morelenbaum, skillfully mixes Ravel-like harmonies with Afro-Brazilian beats on "Eu e o Meu Amor/Lamento No Morro" from the film Black Orpheus. The London-based group Da Lata swings the sacred syncopations of "Cores" in a club-friendly, secular rendition. And the talented Moreno Veloso, son of the great Caetano Veloso, turns in an intimate and atmospheric version of Olodum's "Deusa do Amor" (Goddess of Love). These tracks show that the bossa nova and the samba can still give us new musical surprises. --Eugene Holley Jr. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsA great collection of contemporary Brazilian music!!! Julio Castro Karg | Guadalajara, Jalisco Mexico | 12/17/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "I bought this CD merely by chance and I am quite surprised and delighted with it! Most of the songs in this interesting collection are simply outstanding! It was through this album that I came to know some really great Brazilian artists that I wouldn't have discovered otherwise: the fantastic "Quarteto Jobim-Morelenbaum" (track #1), Caetano Veloso's son "Moreno Veloso +2" (track #5) and especially the gorgeous voice and style of Rosa Passos (track #9)!!! To name just a few!!! This is really a very enjoyable album, a great companion to the classics from Veloso, Jobim, Gilberto, etc." Wonderful NY Lou | New York, USA | 01/06/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "While there seem to be a ton of Brazilian compilations on the market these days, this is simply one of the best. Every song is fabulous, catchy, and well-produced. The opening track is a new version of one of those classic bossa novas from Black Orpheus. I seem to hear it all the time when I pop into bookstores and cafes these days. It is so good, that I frequently almost embarrass myself by singing along. It is that captivating. The sambas are equally infectious. This CD is great." A real gem M. Tanney | 06/02/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "This extraordinary music is not easy to categorize. On the one hand this music is for lying in a hammock for two on a warm summer evening in Rio sipping a couple caipirinhas and watching the sunset. But on the other hand this is definitely not fluffy background music. This is music with deep roots. The music is soft and relaxing in the palm tree and summer breezes modality, yet at the same time it is also mature, detailed and thought-provoking. And even though the songs on this album are thoroughly unified by a distinct style, so they are also completely individual and distinct. There is no filler here. This is the good stuff. If you are thinking of buying an album from the world of Samba and Bossa Nova, this one will not disappoint."
