5.0 out of 5 stars An important man, an important CD, June 14, 2000

This CD is a very important CD as far as modern MPB goes. It is also a CD that you cannot grasp if you don't throw any and all preconceptions about Brazilian music, or pop music, or music in general, out the window. I can understand someone not fully getting Carlinhos' vision, but to altogether dismiss it (music fan in Manhattan) is rather foolish. Carlinhos has written songs for Marisa Monte, Caetano Veloso, and has played on albums by just about anyone who is important in current Brazilian music. Also, let's not forget that he is the mastermind behind the Bahian musical troupe Timbalada. He's not going away anytime soon, and his influence on popular Brazilian music won't either.

5.0 out of 5 stars a gem from carlinhos brown!!!, May 5, 1999

I'm a music fan all the way from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This is truly an amazing album from Carlinhos. Great music all round. 'Covered Saints' just beg to be played over & over. Carlinhos is what Brasil music all about (hope that's not too much to say!). I would also recommend interested listener to go & get Sergio Mendes' Brasileiro CD. It features Carlinhos Brown on several tracks and they are excellent soothing stuffs from him, in particular the track 'Bara Bare'. Right on, Carlinhos! Now, 'scuse me, I'm going to get me the new one from him, Omelete Man! from Hakim Amir

5.0 out of 5 stars A Breakthrough Musical Effort, July 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Alfagamabetizado (Audio CD)

This album is probably as important a work as the Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper" or Milton Nascimento's "Clube da Esquina 2." However, if your ear is not tuned to Brazilian and world music, you probably won't be able to fathom that. Brown's fusion of Bahian axe music, northeastern rhythms, bossa nova, rock, funk and reggae is really groundbreaking. To truly understand what he has done, I would recommend perusing the book "The Brazilian Sound," which explains the significance of the work quite clearly and also is a great guide to Brazil's music of the last few decades.
