Zizi's masterpiece

"In my opinion, Zizi Possi is one of the finest voices of contemporary Brazilian music. Her high-pitched, moody vocals are always compelling. This 1991 recording represented a shift in her career: that's when she decided to leave her usual label to be able to sing what she really wanted and the way she wanted, with much more restrained arrangements than before: here just piano, cello, charango and percussion. And the result is really great, since Zizi's voice is so melodic that it doesn't need much orchestration. The repertoire ranges between heartfelt ballads and more raucous rhythms. Some of the best cuts are the exquisite cover of Chico Buarque's "Eu te amo" and her very personal version of "Com que roupa", a Brazilian classic from the 20s."
