5.0 out of 5 stars Gilberto Gil's first album - lovely bossa nova!, December 26, 2001
From 1967, this is perhaps Gil's most conventional, most bossa nova flavored, album, and also one of his dreamiest and best. Although many of these early songs were also recorded by reigning pop stars of the time (such as Elis Regina), Gil's versions are superior, and many of the songs on this album wind up on his various best-ofs. Gil's gentle voice and deft acoustic guitar work mesh well with the studio back-up -- strings, flute and percussion -- and his presence is so strongly felt that it's clear this is an artist who will rise above the musical conventions of his time. Although the liner notes aren't clear, I suspect that the accordeon on "Viramundo" is by the forro great, Dominguinhos... this one's a real winner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure joy, June 27, 2008
This review is from: Louvação (Audio CD)
Please do not be fooled by the three stars in the current average rating for this album - this is down purely to some kind of clerical error that has left one reviewer here unhappy enough to award only one star (because it was not what he had actually ordered), thus giving the impression it's for Louvação - it's not.

This first album from Gil, which includes the definitive and original version of the classic, Roda, is a pure joy from beginning to end. Every song here has something special- in fact there is not one dud track. Gilberto Gil has always had an excellent voice and irresistibly rhythmical delivery, here it is almost angelic.

If you like quality 60's acoustic bossa nova with some well judged strings and brass backing here and there, you cannot afford to miss this one. Buy it, listen to it and review it so we can all make sure the average for this classic album is nudged up to its deserved five star status.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not what advertised, January 31, 2007
By Ivan Nolasco "nav1" (Miami, FL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Louvação (Audio CD)
I'm giving it one star only, cause the title and song list amazon has is not acurate. The actual CD featured here is "Gilberto Gil ao Vivo", which is what the image belongs to. I've bought it for just one song, Mancada, which is not even in the CD, so I'm not happy at all.

The acual songs in this album are:
1) Joao Sabino
2) Abra o Olho
3) Lugar Comun
4) Menina Goiaba
5) Sim, Foi Voce
6) Heroi das Estrelas
7) Cibernetica
8) Dos Pes a Cabeca
9) O Compositor me Disse
10) Copo Vazio
11) Dia de Festa
