5.0 out of 5 stars Unpolished gem, May 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Doces Barbaros (Audio CD)

Technically flawed with mediocre recording quality, the warmth of this double album, especially the vocal harmonies, make this a priceless set. Mostly obscure songs, the set has a loose and lively groove which culminates in a free-form batucada jam. (And if you like this sort of thing, don't miss the Gilberto Gil/Jorge Ben collaboration from a couple of years later: "Gil & Jorge") Probably won't make new converts to MPB, but unforgettable for any fan of Gal, Gil, Bethania, or Caetano.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mature tropicalia at its best. Political and passionate!, January 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Doces Barbaros (Audio CD)

Released in the 70's this is the album to listen to and enjoy the cultural, political and artistic atmosphere of Brazil under its dictatorial cloud. Faca amolada! A sharp knife cutting through the heart of the Brazilian People. Poetical, sensual and absolutely honest. The lyrics and rythms will stay in you mind and heart forever. The songs can be also romantic and full of passion only lovers in danger can feel... Have a listen!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very serious encounter of the first degree in Brazil, May 18, 2003

This review is from: Doces Barbaros (Audio CD)

Two singers - Maria Bethânia and Gal Costa- and two composers/singers - Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso -- they were the main leaders and performers of the Brazilian cultural movement known as "Tropicália".

This album is a rare show when they decided to play together with music and lyrics by Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil.

It's a live recording with limited quality but it's a doc of an era, full of politics coded message.

Maybe a disc for those who understand the Portuguese language and the political hints of those times.
