2.0 out of 5 stars Not the Bebel of today..., January 13, 2000

Due to this CD's import status, no retailer I found listed any information on the title. If you are familiar with the Bebel of today (of Towa Tei and Brasil 2 Mil fame), wait until Six Degrees Records releases her solo album in early 2000. Geraldo Pereira plays like bossa nova on Sesame Street, and I don't recommend it -- not even for the camp value.

This is not an album BY Geraldo Pereira (a 40s/50s singer who inspired Bebel's father, the legendary Joao Gilberto...) but rather a tribute TO Pereira, performed by Bebel and a fellow called Pedrinho Rodrigues... Also keep in mind that this disc was recorded (as near as I can figure) back in the 1980s, well before Bebel got into the high-tech bossatronica that you young folks seem to love so well... So in all fairness it might be appropriate to cut this disc some slack... or at least not place the same type of expectations on it as you do on her current material...

2.0 out of 5 stars A very mediocre bossa nova album, February 19, 2000

I agree with Katie's review. I purchased this CD after hearing Bebel's excellent contributions to the "Next Stop Wonderland" soundtrack and "Brazil 2 Mil", and was very disappointed. I can't wait until her new album comes out though! While this CD is not terrible, I haven't had the urge to listen to it more than once or twice.
