5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful acoustic samba from 1970, January 12, 2002

This review is from: Meu Laiaraia (Audio CD)

An absolutely stunning album, with a gentle acoustic base and deft, subtle use of strings and back-up chorus, and all songs are written by Da Vila. In some ways this is rooted in the older studio sounds of the late bossa nova era, but the production touches are harnessed to the samba with great delicacy and skill -- HIGHLY recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous modern samba classic!, September 4, 2001

Martinho stays close to traditional samba values here and the results are unashamedly beautiful. It's rare to hear an entire disc of music from the early 70's that hasn't dated in the slightest - IMHO it never will.

This is acoustic samba, marvellously arranged and performed with seldom-heard joy. A fine disc with which to begin (or deepen) a Brazilian music love-affair!
