5.0 out of 5 stars DULCE PONTES FROM EUROVISION 91 TO NEW AGE SUPERSTAR, August 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Lagrimas (Audio CD)

I FIRST HEARD DULCE BACK IN 1991 WHEN SHE REPRESENTED PORTUGAL IN THE EUROVISION SONG CONTEST(CINECITTA-ITALY) WITH THE SONG CALLED "LUSITANA PAIXAO". I KNEW THEN THAT I WAS BEFORE A STAR. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL VOICE AND HER SONG WAS ALSO EXELENT,PITY IT ONLY FINISHED 7TH. HOWEVER, THE CONTEST REALLY STARTED HER GOING AND THE RESULT WAS THIS HER SECOND ALBUM ENTITLED "LAGRIMAS" WHICH IN MY OPINION HAS ESTABLISHED DULCE PONTES AS THE NO.1 SINGER OF FADO AND NEWAGE MUSIC. THE SONG "CANCAO DO MAR" WAS EVEN USED BY HOLLYWOOD IN A RICHARD GERE MOVIE. THIS ALBUM IS FULL OF BEAUTIFUL PORTUGUESE SONGS AND I AM SURE IS A MUST TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN WORLD MUSIC. I SINCERELY WISH TO CONGRATULATE DULCE PONTES FOR HER VOICE AND MUSIC.

NB: FOR THOSE SONG CONTEST LOVERS, DULCE ALSO PARTICIPATED IN THE OTI FESTIVAL (SONG CONTEST OF LATIN COUNTRIES) WITH HER SONG "A SUR DA AMERICA" BOTH THIS SONG AND LUSITANA PAIXAO ARE FOUND IN HER VERY FIRST ALBUM WHICH IS ALSO VERY PLEASANT.

4.0 out of 5 stars Exquisite, October 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Lagrimas (Audio CD)

A phenomenal taste of the European music scene. I was first introduced to Dulce Pontes' musical stylings on a duet with Andrea Bocelli on his Sogno disc (track 4)- had to hear more. I found Lagrimas to be absolutely mesmerizing. Up to this point, I had not been exposed to the elegance and depth of texture of the Portugese language, I'm hooked.

Well,its been 6years,ever since I watched Primal Fear ,that Ive been trying to figure out the name of that very famous track ,was really taken aback to see that I wasn't the only one scouting for it.What can I say,the album is out of this world and for all those helpless people who have been trying to figure out the name of that song from primal fear ,it is called Cancao Do Mar.The name of the album is Lagrimas by Dulce Pontes.This song truly is haunting in every sense of the word.What a performance ,just inexplicably fantastic.Her voice is like nothing Ive heard before ,this has led me to listen to more of Fado ever since.Excellent!!!!
