Just like the live concert,
By Vince Cabrera (Wellington, NZ) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Aos Vivo (Audio CD)
I've seen Chico Cesar live in a smallish venue here in Europe and the set he did was IDENTICAL to this album. Same songs, same order. This is quite a beautiful uplifting record, Chico Cesar runs through a whole gamut of styles, Reggae, African, Modern Pop aided only by his nylon string guitar. They're all originals and all rather catchy, even if you don't speak portuguese. It really is a bit of a revelation that one can do so much with such a simple instrument! My only complaint is that perhaps the record is a TAD too long (maybe one song too long) but otherwise it's a near perfect concert album.

Music for the soul,
This review is from: Aos Vivo (Audio CD)
Personally I love this album most of all the things Chico Cesar has done. The honest simplicity of this album is what amazes me most.
The unplugged version of Mama Africa or Clandestino touche my heart and make me dance each time I hear them! This is a jewel!

Brazilian acoustic alchemy,
By Amaranth "music fan" (Northern California) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Aos Vivo (Audio CD)
Imagine a musician having a live acoustic album hit the Top Ten in the Billboard charts,being announced as #1 on America's Top Forty by Ryan Seacrest. That's how Chico Cesar catapulted to fame in Brazil. His intimate live acoustic concert album brought him out of obscurity into Brazil's popular consciousness.
Chico Cesar's "Aos Vivos" offers the live acoustic versions of "Mama Africa" and "A Primeira Vista." It's not a wild rock concert,instead,it's Brazilian folk music,played on a few acoustic guitars (Chico collaborates with the popular guitarist Lenine on a few songs) "Tambores" is as percussive as the tambourines Chico sings about. "A Prosa Impurpura do Caico" sounds Hawaiian,as if it were played on ukeleles. "Saharienne" evokes Spanish flamenco. The audience sings along with "Mulher eu sei." "Templo" is quiet and reverential. This is perfect for adding to a Brazilian collection,and a great introduction to Brazilian folk music!
5.0 out of 5 stars

To all true music lovers - i could not recommend this more highly.
One of the best albums I have come across in the past decade, captures the energy of a electrifying and sublime performance. Do yourself a favor and get it! |
