5.0 out of 5 stars Papa AfroBrasil, June 8, 2001

Chico Cesar is a master at crafting sublime songs that merge Afrobeat, Brasilian northeastern folk melodies, and pop. One of Brasil's most popular songwriters (Daniela Mercury and many others have covered his songs) Cesar is a worthwhile performer in his own right. Check out on this album Danca do Ipapangu/Imbalanca, Mama Mundi, or Barco. Also check out the fantastic Mama Africa or Putamayo's worthwile compilation of Cesar's Brazilian releases. If you get a chance to see Chico live, DON'T MISS IT!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great one from the Great One, August 29, 2000

Chico César is one of the most prolific songwriters in Brasil at the moment, and his albums have been of very consistent quality. From the title track--with its sweet violin and vocal lines--to the Djavan-esque "Tambor" to the trippy "A Força Que Nunca Seca" (my personal favorite), this is another solid effort which combines reggae, pop, blues, funk, samba, forro and just about everything else seamlessly. Another great César/Mazzola production. Check it out...
