This review is from: Brasil: A Century Of Song (Audio CD)

I bought this box set because of all the major Brazilian stars featured in the set. I have a pretty extensive Brazilian collection, and I hoped this would fill in for some stars that I do not have in my collection. But it was not what I hoped for, the stars are there but they are not singing any of their good stuff, and many of the tracks feature multiple singers, like if they were singing for a fund raiser. The few good tunes that are in this collection don't justify the price.

'nuff said. If you want to know what Brazilian music is about in as compact a package as possible, this is it.
