For Marisa fans, this is a must-have. The sound and visuals are far superior to the video, plus there are a bunch of great extras, including the award-winning Segue o Seco video, the complete Besta e tu performance, and a fun interview with Marisa where she gives a glimpse into the friendships with Carlinhos Brown and Arnaldo Antunes that gave us the recent and tremendous Tribalistas. For those not familiar with Brazilian muic, this is a great introduction, showing the charm and vitality and variety of the music, plus, and most importantly, this is a great showcase for the voice and beauty of Marisa. Five stars is not enough!

Marisa is great on this DVD. My only issue is with Amazon - they don't provide a listing of the songs on this DVD. I mistakenly believed that the DVD contained a superset (same + extra tracks) of the same songs as on the audio CD version (A Great Noise), but this is not the case. Many songs on the audio CD (which I looked forward to hearing) are not on this DVD.

Also, this is not simply a DVD of live concert performances, but rather a set of video travel journal of studio recordings interspersed with 3 or 4 live concert tracks.

This is one of the first musical dvd's I've purchased and I have been showing it to my friends because the songs, the images and quality of sound are terrific. Best of all is the interplay of Marisa with her friends/band members. I have loved Brazilian music for years but this dvd's English subtitles and scenes of Brazil really opens up the music for me and my friends. "Mais" is enjoyable too.

Very good, you can see Marisa who play acoustic versions of the cd a great noise, she is a great artist!

It's a music CD with some videos. Songs are great, but since I already had the CD, it did not add much..
From the general top quality of work from everything that comes from Marisa Monte I was very disappointed. Have most of her collection, guess will not use this much.. Anybody wants to buy it??

Buy everything you can find of Marissa Monte's music! Everything!, including CDs with her tracks featuring duets with David Byrne and Carlinhos Brown and Arnaldo Antunes on many Luaka Bop Compilations! Marissa Monte's talent is self-defined but I also say She is one of those various Brasilian Godesses!!
