4.0 out of 5 stars
Good pop from an old pro, January 1, 2002
This review is from: Músicas Para Tocar Em Elevador (Audio CD)
Thankfully, Brazil's idea of "elevator music" is a bit livelier than ours: here Jorge Benjor teams up with a series of younger, funk-oriented artists, mostly taking the back seat as they roll through lavish versions of old songs from his Jorge Ben days. Guests include Fernanda Abreu, Carlinhos Brown, Skank, and Paralamas do Sucesso. The results are mostly pretty good -- a smooth pop/funk/reggae mix, with some of the best technical production of any of his recent albums. Standouts include collaborations with Skowa, and a frisky version of "Se Manda," featuring a reconstituted version of the '60s/'70s pop band, The Fevers, as well as a pair of solo tracks which round off the album. Worth checking out.
