Skank is one of the most popular pop bands of Brazil mixing together reggae and latin ska, and this CD of the LIVE in Ouro Preto presents 16 best big hits of the band more a previously unreleased song, "Acima do Sol". A little review of mine of the songs:
1 - Partida de Futebol (5/5): Presented in the 1998 World Soccer Cup, the song is about... soccer, indeed! Far better than its old version.
2 - Esmola (3/5): Cute and good to dance, that's all!
3 - Pacato Cidadao (5/5): One of my favourites, very good, but the older version is better.
4 - Jackie Tequila (5/5): Pure Reggae and Latin Ska, quiet and sweet, very good song.
5 - Acima do Sol(3/5): The only new song, it's good but not as than the others among the CD.
6 - Balada do Amor Inabalavel (4/5): Sweet and calming
7 - Tres Lados (5/5): Fascinating, far better than the very good old version, the best pop/rock of the band in the LIVE's presentation.
8 - Tao Seu (5/5): Very good, but ofuscated by the presence of "Tres Lados".
9 - Saidera (4/5): Very good, nice words (about the costume of people drinking -socially-)
10 - Resposta (5/5): Romantic song, calm and very very sweet. Very good, (although many didn't liked the changes in the band style in the CD that this music was presented, that was used to be more 'dancing'.)
11 - Te Ver (2/5): Good and sweet, not more.
12 - Estare Prendido en Tus Dedos (2/5)- More or less good, the old version was better.
13 - Tanto (5/5): Translation of "I Want You" of Bob Dylan, the first big hit of the band.
14 - Cancao Noturna (4/5): Good, nice, calm and in the same time, dancing. Far better than the old version.
15 - Ali (4/5): The same of above, love words again
16 - Garota Nacional (5/5): The biggest hit of the group was presented better than it was! Very dancing song.
17 - E Proibido Fumar (4/5)- Good and very dancing

If you like or are really interested in very good brazilian pop music, like many styles as reggae, pop, rock, dancing hits and calm songs and like LIVE albuns, really it is a very good and interesting album to have in your collection.

I love this CD! You can really tell the audience is having such a great time -- I wish I was there myself everytime I listen. The band is great, full of energy, the singing is top notch and genuine. Every song hooks you, most are very very joyous. Buy it, buy it, buy it... :)

I have this CD since it came out and I never get tired of it. I just love it!

Just a fun CD. Great music, all the best from Skank, and it is better live. Partida de futebol is especially good live. If you like Brazilian rock and especially if you like Skank, this is a good one for your collection.

I love every single song of this CD. For me is like being in high school again!!

Skank is a "must have" for people who really enjoy Brazilian Music! Excellent hits!
The only thing I would point out is that I still like the 'Studio version' of the hit "Garota Nacional" better than this 'Live version' (recorded in a concert held in Ouro Preto) because you do not miss anything on the vocals.
