5.0 out of 5 stars Brazilian diva teams up with electronic collective, October 8, 2004

This review is from: Vivo Feliz (Audio CD)

Elza is Elza. A powerful voice that is as Brazilian as the flag of her country, an energetic lady that is praised everywhere (she was elected best singer worldwide by the BBC). A character that is not afraid to take risks.

"Vivo Feliz" is a major risk. By teaming up with the young electronic collective of Reco-head and producer Arthur Joly, she has lent her voice and her persona to one of the most vibrant albums to come out of Brazil in years. It is intense, rhythmic, emotional and plunges deep in new musical experiments. No, ladies and gentlemen, this is not drum'n'bass meets bossa nova. This is the real deal. Pure, genuine creativity and real energy in the form of music.

Tracks "Rio de Janeiro" and "Computadores Fazem Arte" (a stunning cover of the track made famous by the late mangue singer Chico Science) are my favorites.
