5.0 out of 5 stars Da lata!, January 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Raio X (Audio CD)

Fernanda is great! This album demonstrates the diversity of musical genres eminating from Brazil! Her mixture of funk, pop, samba, rock, rap etc are all qualities that define Brazilian music. Her infusion of Native rythms, instruments and thought give rise to Brazilian pride even to white-bread Americans while her lyrics convey messages about the life, times, society and culture of Brazil, and tudo e em portuges!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars 1980's Brazilian BRock meets the hip-hop era, July 4, 2004

This review is from: Raio X (Audio CD)

Contemporary 1990s hip-hop/pop from Rio. Abreu is a dyed-blonde Deeeee-Lite type (...shall we call her Samba Spice?) who pals it up with Brazilian rocker Chico Science (he duets on one track). Abreu wrote or co-wrote about half the songs on here -- other contributions are made by the likes of Lenine and Carlinhos Brown. Overall this is a fairly creditable effort, with plenty of lush production and electric guitar quotes that range from Hendrix and Frampton to the O'Jays "Money"... Along with the slick novo musica, Abreu also peppers in a couple of traditional samba tracks, including a version of "Aquarela Brasileira" where she does a passable take at sounding like samba legend Clara Nunes. Good, though not earth-shaking, contemporary pop from a former member of the popular '80s BRock band, Blitz.

5.0 out of 5 stars Man, you need to listen to this!, September 16, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Raio X (Audio CD)

This is an amazing CD. The mix of samba, funk, hip-hop had never sounded this good before.
Fernanda, together with special guests such as CHICO SCIENCE, JORGE BEN, HERBERT VIANA and LENINE shows us some previously heard songs with a new, revitalized punch.

This is fresh news coming from this blessed musical country called Brazil.

Don't miss this one and you won't regret!
