Editorial Reviews

Ana Caram (born October 1, 1958) is a Brazilian singer, guitarist and flutist best known for her bossa nova music. Caram was born in São Paulo to a family versed in musical expression. She graduated from São Paulo University with a degree in musical composition and conducting. A protégé of Antonio Carlos Jobim, the primary developer of the bossa nova style, Caram's own is a blend of Brazilian Bossa nova and American Jazz. Her voice elicits comparison with that of Astrud Gilberto.

3.0 out of 5 stars somewhat disappointing performance, May 11, 2002

While Ana has a wonderful voice and the production/recording quality are first rate, the program selection was disappointing. Many of the Brazilian tunes are translated to English and loose much of their original poetry. This was Anna's first recording and it shows. Pick up Amazonia or other later releases if you enjoy good Brazilian music, you won't be disappointed with her later work.

This review is from: Rio After Dark (Audio CD)

I've only begun to explore the realm of Brazilian music, but once I moved beyond Astrud and Bebel Gilberto, Ana Caram was a wonderful discovery. This young protege' of Antonio Carlos Jobim has a smooth, breezy, bird-like voice, singing in either Portuguese or pleasantly accented English. She is accompanied on this CD by a talented combo including Jobim, and Paquito D'Rivera. This is a soft and romantic collection of numbers that will transport you to a warm tropical night in a quiet cafe'. I highly recommend it as an introduction to this delightful singer.
