5.0 out of 5 stars A rare love and respect of music, August 3, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Ihu Todos Os Sons (Audio CD)

I worked with Marlui on the soundtrack to "At Play in the Fields of the Lord". One of the most fantastic and soulful voices I've ever worked with. She is an expert on the musics and cultures of indigenous tribes in the Amazon rain forest. But her new album is not mere reproductions of tribal songs fit for ethnomusicologists. Oh, no. She's 'interpreted' them, made them her own, infused them with her own voice while keeping the raw spirit alive. I play this CD over and over, it's a rare treat. It features the work of Uakti and Gilberto Gil and many others. Treat yourself to this recording.

5.0 out of 5 stars Transformative, November 26, 2003

This music is sublime and its power lies in its ability to speak to the soul of all willing to be transformed. It is not necessary to know the cultural or geographical details, (although they too touch a chord,) as it transcends the cognitive and linear manner of knowing.
Marlui Miranda's work is laced with humility and awe. The cover notes add to the experience by roughly translating the myths and the rites from which the songs originated.
The manner by which she remained faithful to their tones, patterns of sonorous sounds and harmonies is made even more complex by her dedication to preserving the ancestral and archaic themes and languages.
It is a total work of art.

This review is from: Ihu Todos Os Sons (Audio CD)

This extraordinary CD is everything the other reviewers had noted but more. The arrangements are all varied and invocative of other musical idioms while remaining Amazonian at its heart: Steve Reich's pulses, Terry Riley's syncopations, Mississippi blues, Navajo slow dances, Aleut mouth music, tropical forest ambiance and bird sounds, Bulgarian women's chorus. Each bend of the river provides surprises of new sounds, feelings, rhythms, patterns. Neither ethnographic field recordings nor cheesy pop tropical impressions, Miranda's music captures the wide scope of the native populations. And as the CD progresses, we feel going deeper into the land, farther away from urban influences. In short, this recording is magical, modern in its inventiveness yet ancient, and important both for preserving the spirit of the native peoples but also for ourselves. This recording will refreshen your life.
