4.0 out of 5 stars A new and clear voice, November 6, 2000

This review is from: Ciranda (Audio CD)

A co-worker went away to Brazil and came back with 50 CD's from Rio. Through her, I've only begun recently to develop an interest in Brazilian music. I was in a Tower Records recently where this wonderful artist's work was being spotlighted as a new release. It's only rarely that I listen to a CD in a store and decide to buy it based solely on the first cut.

Subsequently I've listened to the whole album several times, and when I bring Ciranda into work with me, I have to remind my co-worker to give it back to me (she likes to put it on continuous play and just let it go). Faraco has a lovely voice and a poetic spirit, and I look forward to hearing more from him.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not to be missed!, October 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Ciranda (Audio CD)

I read somewhere that mr. faraco left brasil for paris because he was disappointed with the latest trends in brazilian music. Although I'm not sure if I can completely agree with him, his first album is definitely one of the best brazilian records I've heard in the long time. He sticks to acoustic and makes exceptionally fine, smooth music in the best bossanova tradition with some original ingredients. Faraco collaborated closely with Wagner Tiso (he did many wonderful things for Milton Nascimento among others), who played piano and contributed some brilliant strings and horns arrangements. Chico Buarque also sings on title track but you should see and hear Faraco performing live with his band. He gave a free concert in Ljubljana, Slovenia, this summer and it was absolutely wonderful evening.

5 stars for each of his 3 albums. Why this guy is not better known in the USA, and even Brazil! amazes me. Maybe it's a lack of a major label. Maybe it's the style of music is not popular any more. See my reviews on his other two CD's. This, his first album is equal to the other two - if only slightly less "clean" recording quality. And I'm nitpicking here as I'm a finicky audiophile.
