This cd will have you off your feet dancing! I like to listen to it while I clean the house, get's you moving! The only thing I didn't like was one of the songs that I wanted to hear wasn't on the cd. It's on the live performance of this cd though, with a young girl and guy duet.

This is a truly FUN live concert album;the crowd sings along,cheers,musicians improvise.One feels as if one is in Salvador,the capital of Bahia in northeastern Brazil.

Ivete Sangalo,who I first heard on Putumayo's out-of-print compilation "Festa Brasil"(in the song "Monsieur Samba")is a real discovery.Everybody's heard of Bebel Gilberto,Astrud Gilberto,and now Cibelle.Ivete Sangalo is tremendously talented.She's a former model like Natalie Imbruglia&Kylie Minogue,but unlike the both of them,she can ACTUALLY sing.She sings at many Brazilian carnivals.

"MTV Ao Vivo" is a very joyous album.The opening medleys bring you in.There are thoughtful slower numbers mixed in like "Faz Tempo" and "A lua q eu t dei".Highlights include "Chica Chica Boom Chic" and "De Ladinho." This live album is an excellent introduction to Brazilian music,or for those bored with current American pop music (such as that on American MTV).If you're interested into Brazilian pop,this album is for you!

This dvd is the entertainment of every party at my Brazilian friend's house, and we dance along to most of the songs. It's a great recording and you can feel the energy from the thousands of people in the audience. Ivete has a beautiful voice and she's great live. Actually, I like her better live than how she sounds in studio versions of the same songs. My favorites are 'Flor do Reggae' and 'De Ladinho'. Enjoy!!

This cd gives the idea about how Ivete Sangalo concert is. This popular brazilian singer put together her 10 years of carrer in a cd!! Her musics are very dancible and she is one of the top singers of the famous Brazilian's carnaval.

You must have this album, you must listen Daniela Mercury e Ivete together, they are great!

This is high-energy, Brazilian/carnaval dance music that will leave you very happy. Warning: This is the music equivalent of a double macchiato. Its side-effects include the creation of an intense desire in listener to visit Brazil to experience Carnaval for him or herself.

As aluded to by others, however, there are important songs -- namely duets -- which appear on the DVD but were left off of the CD, such as "Arere". If money is an issue, I recommend buying the DVD, which is more comprehensive and permits the viewer to watch the concert with English subtitles -- a useful tool for those of us who do not speak Portugese but would like to know what Ms. Sangalo is singing about.
