5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Followup To Quanta, July 17, 1999

Just when you thought "Quanta" was one of the best Brazilian albums of the '90s, along comes this live version of that work. Superb. I also recommend "Parabolicamara" and -- for background on Gil and Brazilian music -- the book "The Brazilian Sound," which is published in English.

This album is not only a great follow-up to Quanta, but also a great live rendition to some of his gems from different albums like songs: Refavela, Palco, Copacabana; etc. etc.
Here we have a great spectrum of what this amazing musician can play; Samba, MPB, Brazilian Jazz, Reggae, etc. Music with a high quality standard regardless to his age.
Finally, check some of his famous guests for this amazing tour/CD.:
1.) Celso Fonseca on guitars (a great soloist and ex-Caetano's band member).
2.) Arturzinho Maia on bass (a member of Brazilian Jazz Group Cama de Gato).
3.) Raulzinho Mascarenhas on sax and flutes (also another brilliant soloist), and ...
4.) Paulinho Calasans on keyboards (a Djavan's band member in several ocassions).
Pick it up while it lasts............

Highly recommended must-have to add to your Brazilian collection. After I attended the awesome Quanta Live concert here in Washington DC, I had to look for the CD considering, I danced from the first to the last song performed that night. I ordered it online and was excited that all the songs performed during the concert was on this CD. I never leave home without it. I now know all the words to the songs (that's the only portuguese I speak). I've turned my friends to it too and they love it.
