The Voice of Brazil!
I love this video more than the other ones with Djavan. It's a very intimate private session with his band & they have a jamming good time. The program is 50 minutes, in full screen with excellent camera and audio work. He is a well known singer of romantic songs, and the lyrics imply "being in-love". In between the songs, Djavan tells his personal stories and about his...

Too distant!
I always like all of Djavan offerings. This time he seems distant, alien to the camera. It was produced in a dark atmosphere, with a mistaken sense of intimacy... The music is superb, no doubt. But the film does not communicate his human side too well, in my opinion. The band looks detached, "ajena".

This review is from: Djavan: Programa Ensaio (DVD)
I love this video more than the other ones with Djavan. It's a very intimate private session with his band & they have a jamming good time. The program is 50 minutes, in full screen with excellent camera and audio work. He is a well known singer of romantic songs, and the lyrics imply "being in-love". In between the songs, Djavan tells his personal stories and about his African experiences and the origins of the songs. Born to sing, Djavan, pronounced "Dee-Jah-Van" is ever young and romantic, even at 58 years old, but he has always looked to be 33. He came from a poor family, but as his mother & sister loved to sing, this inspired him. The lyrics and cover jacket are all in Portuguese, however the viewer can choose to see the on-screen lyric translations in either English, Spanish, or Portuguese, or without any subtitles. With Djavan's beautiful face, beautiful voice & beautiful language one does not tire of repeated viewings of this seamless session. In contrast there is a DVD available:"Djavan Ao Vivo" in which some of the Rio scenery can be seen, and Djavan sings some songs solo outdoors. Obrigado!
