5.0 out of 5 stars Best Brazilian CD ever?, October 11, 2000

By A Customer

This CD is among the very best ever recorded in Brazil. Chico Buarque is Brazil's finest songwriter, and Caetano is not far behind. Together, they are incredible on this live recording. This is a true classic -- one that has stood the test of time.

By	André Torres (Lisbon, Portugal) - See all my reviews

In this CD you can find a truly piece of art, two of the finest musicians and songwriters came together (before i was even born...) to make pure poetry, so i thank them! Obrigado!

P.S. i specially recommend "voce não entende nada" and "cotidiano"

5.0 out of 5 stars Five stars because is history!, March 3, 2004

By	Mario A. González (New York, New York United States) - See all my reviews

Buenos Aires; 1976; I was 18 and for the first time on my own in the big city, when I first heard this album at a friend's home (I presume his parents had bought it). We listened to it endlessly and learned all the lyrics. It was my first encounter with Brazilian culture and in the context of the Argentine "dirty war," this joint concert, became an oasis of comradery and peotry. Indeed both, Chico and Caetano, have written some of the most beautiful and profound songs of MPB. The first, the offspring of an academic family, is a master of language and uses his skills to describe the quotidian joys and sorrows of the common man (and woman!) The second, no less talented, digs into the existencial dilemmas of the Brazilian people. With feminist undertones, in "Esse Cara" Caetano writes a first person love song in which a woman declares her love for "That Guy": "Ele é quem quer/ele é o homen/eu sou apenas uma mulher" (He is what he wants/he is the man/I'm just a woman.) For me, it was a delightful shock to listen the voice of a woman sung by a man! A year later he would surprise me again with the gay connotations of "Menino do Rio" and, sometime later, "Leaozinho." I wanted to be like them, live amid all that beauty and freedom and, less than twelve months later, my dream came true.
