This week I received some brasilian music in the mail, a CD of a woman named Rosa Passos. From the first moment I listen to her songs... I am like a zombie... a mass of jelly. The sound of this gentle soul is so beautiful it makes me want to lie on the floor and forget to do my work this evening... I don't know, maybe this music is not so entirely healthy...

Whatever it is that makes me receptive to the directness, the honesty of Rosa Passos, this simple beauty in the form of human art... while at the same time feeling powerless... well, I would not trade it for a roasted chicken and a bottle of wine.

I've been browsing Amazon today, putting more music on my "Wish List." I'm disappointed that I can't listen to all of Rosa Passos' albums here -- can anyone share his/her thoughts on the flavors of Canta Antonio Carlos Jobim, Azul or Festa? I must get Morada Do Samba! Her voice is so gentle and sweet. All of her songs on this album are well matched: mellow yet sexy. Perfect for cooking a romantic dinner or just melting into the floor by yourself in peace (thanks ArtCity, for your review ).

Rosa Passos is one of the greatest singer/song writers on the music scene today. Not only is she blessed with a voice so clear and pure that it grabs you on first hearing her, but her writing skills and arranging are second to none. Rosa should be more widely known than she is currently.

I first got turned onto Rosa Passos listening to a sampling of her "Amarosa" album. Now that I have Yahoo Music, I have been listening to the Rosa Passos artist fan station and there are several of her albums that are not in stock. Her music has become my personal Holy Grail. Rarely do you find an artist nowadays with such beauty in the music. If I had to really describe her sound in one word, it would be "addictive." Anyone with an appreciation for talent will love anything by Rosa Passos.
