5.0 out of 5 stars A Mermaid, April 8, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Rose & Charcoal (Audio CD)

I've always loved Marisa Monte's voice- it's warm, it's sexy. She was raised in Rio, in the middle of Portela, one of Rio's most traditional samba schools. She decided to study opera in Italy for a while, but decided to go back to her musical roots. This album is very Brazilian, and she intended it to be so. She has Northeastern rhythms, MPB-style songs (Musica Popular Brasileira-popular Brazilian music)and samba-choro, lots of it! My favorite track is the last one in the album which is a real gorgeous samba with guitar, drums...the works!-and so intensly melodic! Even if you don't know much about Brazilian music, you'll enjoy this album. And if you like Brazilian music already, you'll really enjoy Monte's beautiful voice. It's not as experimental as, say, Tom Ze or Carlinhos Brown- instead it's like good homemade food: familiar, but always a favorite.

5.0 out of 5 stars No. 1 in my CD-Rack !!!, June 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Rose & Charcoal (Audio CD)

I've got 300 CD's of Brazilian artists. This one is placed in first position on my CD-Rack. Voice, "ritmo", bahiana, axe, fado, rock, bossa, percussion, violao, tristeza, melancoly, orchestra, intimidade, americana, ..... absolutely everything in a single round disk. "Maria da Verdade" will get you crazy, a real carnival of voices."Danca Da Solidao" will take you to Salvador. "De mais ninguem" O Fado made in Brazil, you are going to break into tears ! Be careful, once you buy it,you won't stop buying Brazilian Music. It is pure addiction !!!.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, April 30, 2003

Though I have owned this CD for years, I have been listening to it again lately. And again and again. The lilting beauty of Marisa's voice, the song selections, and the superb arrangements add up to something close to perfection. On a deserted island, this is the CD I would play to remind myself why life might still be worth living. Seriously--it's that wonderful.
