4.0 out of 5 stars A masked unplugged, a light-hearted album, August 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Meio Desligado (Audio CD)

Kid Abelha never made an Unplugged for MTV. But they made acoustic shows throughout Brazil's greatest cities and recorded them. With this record they presented an anthology of the band's work, with songs like "Alice", "Como eu Quero (How I Want It)" and "Grand' Hotel". But the highlights of this record are "Seu Espião (Your Spy)", "Eu Tive Um Sonho (I Had A Dream)" and "Nada Por Mim (Nothing For Me)". Lightness, love, joy, happiness, all of this feeling are here in this light-hearted album.

This review is from: Meio Desligado (Audio CD)

This is a sort of 'greatest hits' cd, collected from a short tour they did in 1993, I believe. This band is apparently huge in Brazil- especially with the 16-24 age group, but don't let this turn you off. The musicians assembled for this tour are top-rate musicians (one of the few, if only, times they played with Kid Abelha), the recording is superb, the song-writing is mostly up-beat, lively; though the slower tunes are the standout tracks, as far as I'm concerned. Finally, one must mention the singing...this woman has an incredible voice, as compelling as Marisa Monte. A collection of songs of singular, rare beauty, well worth tracking down. ps: I read that this is one of the few releases by Kid Abelha that received muted praise by 'serious' Brazilian music critics, and this is, in large part, due to the production, (re)arrangement of songs, and musicians playing on this brief tour. This release is, thus, an exception to their many other releases, unfortunately (their first cd came out in 1985- and they've been popular ever since).
