5.0 out of 5 stars Great Quality Sound and Video, May 25, 2004

This review is from: Djavan Ao Vivo (DVD)

I can't believe that you can record a concert with such great sound quality. This is as good as listening to a CD. In this entire DVD, there is no fading or break up of the sound.

I've played this for people who've never heard of Djavan, and they all love this DVD. They can't believe that just because this guy sings in Portuguese, that we Americans would miss out on his music.

You can play the DVD with the captions of the Portuguese lyrics so that you can sing along.

There are a couple of MTV/VH1 style videos. The Acelerou video is very sexy. A beautiful scene with some very interesting light.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Satisfying, August 2, 2000

By 

Tom "tomintoronto" (Toronto,, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Djavan Ao Vivo (Audio CD)

Djavan is perhaps the most underrated of all the great Brazilian musicians to emerge in the past thirty years. He has been making superb albums for over twenty years, with a mix of samba, jazz and rock that no other Brazilian musician has been able to emulate. He is hard to categorize and that may have had something to do with limiting his North American success.

This CD is a live performance of some of his best songs (though he is in this respect a little like the Beatles--he doesn't have very many clunkers). Though I could have done without the audience participation in a couple of cuts, this is a good introduction to his music. As a composer, he is a master of melody and rhythm and his touches of electric guitar, though used sparingly, are the best in Brazilian music. His songs reveal their intricacies slowly and reward careful listening. As a singer, he possesses one of the most distinctive voices in pop music anywhere, jazzy and pliant, equally at home with ballads and uptempo numbers.

If you like the music of Milton Nascimento, Gilberto Gil and/or Bebel Gilberto, or you just like Brazilian music in general, you owe it to yourself to give Djavan a listen.

I had the opportunity to see Djavan in the North Sea Jazz festival a couple of years ago and his performance was excellent.

This DVD captures another great performance by one of the greatest Brazilian musicians of his time. The sound quality of this DVD is great and the added bonus videos are a great feature. I recommend this DVD to any one who appreciates great music.
