This artist is the world's least appreciated genius. An amazing singer and songwriter. It is stunning that Djavan is completely unknown in the US, even in this time of a supposed boom in latin music interest. Just sit back and listen to the lilting melodies! The lyrics are even better

Is there anything that is beyond Djavan's grasp? Apparently not, as Coisa De Acender is simply superb from start to finish. Linha, my favorite track on the disc, is by far one of the most enjoyable songs i've heard in a long time and shows off just how much Djavan has the ability to drive your emotions skyward with his splendid voice that NOBODY ELSE HAS. It's all his. Other great tracks include Boa Noite and Alivio. You want c**p? Buy any new American group's album. You want MUSIC with TALENT? Grab a copy now and you won't regret it. By the way, once you buy one of Djavan's discs, you'll be so impressed that you'll have to get more and more and more... and that's all i've got to say about that.

There's no problem at all! Djavan songs are so deeply touching that you are able to feel them without understanding the lyrics. The best track of this cd is "Se..." with no doubt. That beginning with the drums really heats up! By getting this cd you'll have purchased one of the best examples of good brazilian music.

I first heard this in a bar in Barcelona and had to gesture a hell of a lot to find out who it was that was being played. This stands out even if you dont speak the language, as you can hear the passion in the voice, the progressions are very clever, fresh and original and outside the ballads the rhythmn really cuts through. He has a very clever,well directed talent. One of my most played singer songwriter Cds in my house outside of Joni Mitchell/ Jeff Buckley/ Nick Drake.
