5.0 out of 5 stars
fantastic contemporary Brazil music: a bright sunny day, October 2, 2005
This review is from: Tem Que Valer (Audio CD)
A great female vocalist sings mostly original songs. The bouncy accompaniment is heavy on electronics with some live instruments. It's meant for dancing, but I don't go clubbing and still thoroughly enjoy listening to it. The whole CD has the feel of a bright and sunny day, very uplifting. I don't speak Portuguese so can't comment on the lyrics. No ballads, not classic bossa or MPB, just catchy upbeat melodies that make you want to hum and smile. If you like other Brazilian contemporary female singers backed primarily by electronica and cheerfully geared for dancing, you'll love this CD. I'm thinking of Bebel, Zuco 103, Wagon Cookin, Rosalia, Shrift, and groups/singers like this.
By the way, Amazon lists 2 CDs by this group, but they have the same track list - one is just an import, one domestic US.
