Three discs into her acclaimed solo career, it's a no-brainer that the Brazilian pop charms of Bebel Gilberto will conjure a slew of beach-inspired adjectives. "Refreshing," "wind-swept" and "sun-kissed" spring to mind. Momento continues Gilberto's trend of crafting sultry scenes of afternoon delight via tunes that both adhere to traditions and sound ultra-modern. But she also mixes things up a bit in the process. Gilberto's sensual delivery--featured here in English and in Portuguese--hovers in and around each song, more an extension of the rhythms than the showpiece. Make no mistake, though: Gilberto's vocal work is a thing of beauty. She again blends bossa nova, samba, pop and electronica flourishes, but no one genre overpowers any other. Liliting guitars give way to pulsing percussion and horns, which crash against loops and samples. Gilberto coos amid the catchy club flavor of "Bring Back the Love," and the moonlit "Close to You" recalls Sade. The daughter of Brazilian guitarist Joao Gilberto even tackles Cole Porter's "Night and Day," recasting it as a hushed moment of bossa loveliness. And the title track is a collage of sonic secrets and memories. Perfect for a patio brunch--or an evening under the stars. --Joey Guerra
Customer Reviews:
Delightful............2007-07-22
This is a thoroughly joyous album. Joao's kid is, once again, in fine form. [Bebel is not Astrud's child]. This is pure sensory experience, sexual without being sexually explicit [after all, this is Latin jazz, not rap]. Happy intermixture of Portugese and English, and I think Bebel's English is pretty good.
Most of these tracks won't be familiar to an American audience, though Bebel does a fine job with Cole Porter's "Night And Day". Bebel is no Ella, but then Ella was not Bebel, either. We really don't need "familiar" with albums that are about feeling. There are several singers of this genre around currently; Bebel is certainly as good as the best. Grab this album for the joy of it.
The Whole Exceeds the Sum of its Parts.......2007-07-20
When I first listened to this, my immediate impression was that this was a 3-star album, meaning I wasn't going to review it. But I have to admit, after having listened to it edge to edge a few times, that the c.d. has grown on me. It has an hypnotic effect. It is one whose whole exceeds the sum of its parts.
This is a Brazilian pop-jazz-bossa c.d. Bebel Gilberto, daughter of the immortal Joao and Astrud, sings with a very breathy tone--not as breathy as Gabriela Anders, but not as solid as Maria Rita or Flora Purim, either. The c.d. is heavy on acoustic guitar and percussion. She sings in English and Portuguese--and on some tracks, in both languages.
There is no one track that truly stands out. But after awhile, you notice the effective coloration of strings, the cello, the bass trombone, the alto flutes and the tenor sax. It all sneaks up on you quite subtly.
This is a perfect c.d. to download into your I-pod, and cool with on the beach while sunbathing, drinking wine coolers, and watching "the girls from Ipanema" as they pass by. RC
Super-mellow, but less clubby than some of her other stuff.......2007-07-17
It's easy to go either way on this one: if you're feeling critical, it's easy to pick apart, but if you just want to kick back and feel the love, this album is very much an unrepentant party/chill out album, and Bebel's velvety voice is lovely as ever. And she is definitely branching out into new sounds: the samba-flavored percussive touches and acoustic guitar are welcome (although the house-y Brazilian Girls track is a real buzzkill...) Overall, this album is pretty solid and stands up to repeated auditions -- not as magical as the last two albums, but still sweeter than 90% of whatever else you're going to hear out there.
By the way, if you like Bebel's recording of "Tranquilo," it's worth tracking down Thalma De Freitas's bouncy version, released a few years ago in Brazil. What a great track! (DJ Joe Sixpack)
It's a good album........2007-07-03
It's a good album and there are some very beautiful pieces of music on here. 'Azul' , 'Cade Voce', 'Night and Day' , and 'Close To You' are the standouts and those songs alone make this album worth the price of admission. They are undeniably gorgeous songs and it'd be hard for anyone to find fault in those songs. Unfortunately, the rest of the tracks are not as awe-inspiring as the above mentioned songs and even though music is obviously subjective, I think most people will agree that there are more "skippable" songs than we'd like on a Bebel Gilberto album. Overall, this album is very solid compared to alot of what's out there, it's just that, like all good artists, we hold Bebel to a higher standard (such is the bane of all good artists).
Summer Sundays...........2007-06-27
Love this! It was fresh and breezy, perfect cooking music, and really nice to have playing during dinner(outside is best). Can't imagine why it wouldn't be great at a cocktail party.

This eclectic compilation shows the syncopated and seductive evolution of the African-derived Brazilian samba and its offspring, the bossa nova. The CD features a new-wave series of moods and grooves tailor-made for the 21st century. There's angel-voiced Rosa Passos and her silky version of the Ary Barroso/Luiz Peixoto song "E Luxo So." Guitarist-vocalist Márcio Faraco's remake of Noel Rosa's samba-canção "Feitiço da Vila" is just as tasteful. The elegant, classically tinged Quarteto Jobim-Morelenbaum, led by cellist Jacques Morelenbaum, skillfully mixes Ravel-like harmonies with Afro-Brazilian beats on "Eu e o Meu Amor/Lamento No Morro" from the film Black Orpheus. The London-based group Da Lata swings the sacred syncopations of "Cores" in a club-friendly, secular rendition. And the talented Moreno Veloso, son of the great Caetano Veloso, turns in an intimate and atmospheric version of Olodum's "Deusa do Amor" (Goddess of Love). These tracks show that the bossa nova and the samba can still give us new musical surprises. --Eugene Holley Jr.

love it!.......2007-07-14
i use this cd in my pilates classes and inevitably someone ALWAYS asks me what it is. it is great music to listen to while relaxing, exercising, cleaning the house, having a dinner party, you name it. i have many putumayo cds and i rank this in the top 5.
Absolutely wonderful.......2007-05-11
This instantly became one of my all-time favorite CDs. Like other reviewers, it makes me think of summer.... warm breezes, happy afternoon naps in the hammock, a long walk in the moonlight. I usually combine this with a little Brasil '66 and it's perfect, just perfect. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Buy it, without hesitation.
Sweet set of new Brazilian music.......2007-03-06
The level of quality in Putumayo's world music samplers has been steadily rising over the last few years. The label scores another hit with this excellent collection of sleek modern balladeers and Brazilian pop innovators... Included are Da Lata, Rossa Passos, Jussara Silveira, Rita Ribero, and my personal hero, Moreno Veloso (the son of the great Caetano Veloso). There are also several less well known artists on here, but the level of quality is consistently very high. This is a really nice, really listenable album... Highly recommended for anyone who wants to check out some more recent Brazilian material. (This review originally posted in 2002)
This compilation effected my samba selection more than any other.......2007-01-15
I have gone on to buy more of the artists work on this compilation than any other. I heard it at first in a store, wanted it immediately and asked them if I could see the disk and scratched out the names on a paper then typed them into amazon and bought many of them, am still buying them.
Putomayo selections are always satisfying they really seem to have a finger on the pulse of regions, this compilation is no exception
Like instant summertime!.......2006-06-09
I love this album - a great mix of artists. The only track I don't much care for is #3. When I play this CD, I feel an instant sense of warmth and summertime - I don't have a lot of music from this genre, but this is a great CD to start with or expand your collection. The artists included are fantastic.

The soundtrack from Woman on Top, starring Madrid-born bombshell Penelope Cruz as the beauty and brains behind a popular cooking show, is the perfect introduction to the Brazilian sound--and just might live up to the label's promise that it's "destined to bring Bossa Nova music to the world" (though bossa nova has long been popular in the West, albeit in specialized circles). The highly listenable album features contemporary Brazilian artists such as singer-songwriter Lenine; pop-rocker and Joao Gilberto sound-alike Paulinho Moska; and the three-DJ collective Bossa Cuca Nova putting a new spin on a classic Geraldo Pereira tune. It also includes gems such as Maria Creuza and her delicately wavering voice, and guitarist Dori Caymmi performing one of his father's songs. Mellow yet upbeat, it's relaxation music that won't put you to sleep. --Jamie FitzGerald
Customer Reviews:
Just perfect.......2007-07-21
For that special occassion with that special person there is nothing that can beat this CD
Sexy and Mellow Brazilian Musical CD...Lovely! .......2007-05-22
I saw the movie "Woman on Top" recently and just LOVED the music in the movie, along with the movie itself.... Therefore, I immediately bought the CD, to recapture the romantic mood of the movie.
Well, I was not disappointed in the CD at all. It is quite mellow and sexy at the same time---just like the movie.
For those that have not seen the movie, I would describe it as a "Fantasy Romance" movie. The music fits the style of the movie beautifully.
This CD can be enjoyed while cooking any meal, & with a good glass of fine wine in hand.
Get ready to sway to the soft Brazilian sounds!
This CD will sound better and better , the more times you play it! That's the effect it has had on me.
Wonderful Movie***Wonderful CD.......2007-05-20
I enjoyed the movie so much I just had to get the sound track (I also got the CD "Bossa Nova Brazil" and "The Girl from Ipanema: The Antonio Carlos Jobim Songbook"....very good). The songs are so sensual, that they put you in the mood to samba and shake it up, but at the same time it relaxes you. It does what seldom many songs do; energize you and soothe you all at once; now you tell me what other music can do that. I have not been to Brazil, but just hearing the songs, I feel like I am there; holding the one you love or just alone, you are at the right place and at the right time, when you play this CD. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.
Woman on Top -DVD.......2007-04-11
Sunny,breezy,sexy flick-with unfortuatley the beautiful and smart heroinne backing down to being hopelessly in love wtih a jerk. The backgounds are beautiful especially if you love to cook, love to eat and drink wine. Most impressive was the music. Very catchy, brazilian-play it want you want to get that special someone in the mood!
Unique Sounds of Brazil.......2006-08-14
The style of music is a tropical jazzy yet romantic sound. It is so enjoyable and relaxing. I don't know the language and certainly don't know about the artists, but because I heard the music from the movie is what moved me to buy it. It has intrigued my curiosity to learn more about the sounds and music of Brazil.

Great Brazilian Music.......2007-05-20
This CD provides you with some great tunes; danceable, easy to the ears, romantic and very sensual. The songs take me away and place me in the heart of Brazil; the land of high soaring spirits. Would highly recommend it.
One of the best.......2007-05-14
This is probably my favorite album of all time. I purchased it about 8 years ago and listen to it regularly. Can't understand a single lyric from it (a few excepted) but it remains one of the best I own. It is soulful, enchanting, exciting, and mysterious all at once.
If you are in the mood for something different that will grow on you, try this one. You won't regret it. I promise.
For something similar and equally intoxicating, try Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Wave" or "The Composer of Desafinado, Plays". Both fantastic choices.
Bossa Nova.......2007-03-29
I enjoy Bossa Nova, beautiful music I have enjoyed all the cd's, I have purchased.
Bossa Nova Brasil.......2006-10-29
I play this CD frequently. Love the choices of artists and songs. Shows off the legacy of some of the artists as well. Would recommend it to the many fans of Bossa Nova and Brazilian music in general.
Good Bossa Nova and MPB.......2004-04-13
I picked this up several years ago, and what a great disc this is. It's got some old classics on it and some pretty rare tracks too. At the time I picked it up, this was actually a series. There is another cd titled: "Samba Brasil" that has a similar cover, but is white and green.
The artists on this are fantastic. From Gal Costa do Vinicius De Moraes, you're taken on a real trip through some of the classics in Brazilian music. Perhaps most interesting and stellar of which is the Elis Regina only vocal of Waters of March. It has such an innocent sound! Carlos Lyra's "Influencia Do Jazz" will take you to a beach in the late 60's, and Baden Powell's Consolacao has that rich acoustic sound I've grown up with and love. And check out Joao Gilberto's song here along with Gal Costa's tracks... She's a VERY underrated singer IMO. But this CD isn't without fault. The sound quality can be suspect on some tracks, and a song or two weren't what I would have selected from the musicians here. (You can find "Aguas De Beber" and "Girl from Ipanema" on virtually every compilation.
Still I would have to recommend this. It's not that expensive, and out of most of the Bossa Nova/MPB samplers, this is one of the better ones IMO. For the make of Samba De Bencao, Elis Regina, Baden Powell, Tamba Trio (who did the wildly successful take of "Mas Que Nada" that featured in the 1998 World Cup commercial with Brazilian footballers in an airport) and the others... good tunes. Also check out Nova Bossa Nova - a companion piece to "Red Hot & Rio". There is some overlap, but the other version of Baden Powell's cut on that comp is better than this one IMO. Maybe also check out Bossa Nova Gold, a two disc set of MPB and Bossa Nova.

This impressionistic score from Marcel Camus's 1958 cinematic retelling of the Greek myth of Orpheus was most Americans' introduction to the Brazilian musical style called bossa nova. As it became a nationwide craze that featured both Brazilian samba and U.S. cool-jazz participants, the names of Black Orpheus composers Antonio Carlos Jobim and Luiz Bonfa became familiar far beyond the hi-fi set. Along with the haunting theme song, "Manha de Carnaval," and several Jobim compositions are the vibrant street sounds of the pre-Lenten festival Carnaval, which provides the backdrop to the tragic love story of Orpheus and Eurydice. The score is awash with percussive samba rhythms and the laughter and chanting of the annual festival melee. This is a great disc to play when the day needs a parade. --Lois Maffeo
Customer Reviews:
The best and original........2007-01-29
I like Manha De Carnaval so much that I listened to Domingo, Nana Mouskouri, Carly Simon and Luis Miguel's versions borrowed from the libraries. I like the original song in track 6 by Luiz Bonfa. Track 8 guitar playing is also beautiful. Track 11 female vocal is wonderful, spontaneous and second to none. The sound quality is excellent.
wonderful.......2006-03-26
It's wonderful to have a new recording of the sound track from the movie Black Orpheus. The movie was one of my favorites but I played my old record of the sound track so many times (and put it through so many moves) it was scratched and no longer enjoyable to listen to. Now everytime I listen to my CD version I am transported to the time and space of the movie and the time and space of the early sixties when I first heard it. The little bonus addition at the end of the CD is fun too.
Buy the movie, not this soundtrack.......2006-03-09
Save your money. I love the movie very much, and to watch it and to listen it is an experience like none other. However, if you look for the music from this movie, do not look here. This is just the movie, except without video. I have great respect for Bonfa and Jobim's work on this music, but they do not get glorified truly since the tracks change so quickly and the movie sounds play such a large role in the soundtrack cd. Listen to Trio da Paz and their Black Orpheus album and see how it compares, and even though it is not the original Jobim or Bonfa, it pays more homage to them than this original soundtrack. Verve took the wrong route with this one. Yes the music is landmark in evolving Samba/Bossa Nova, but this cd does not depict truly how wonderful the music is.
Nace el bosanova.......2006-02-21
Considerada la primera película en la que se da a conocer el bosanova, "Orfeo Negro" incluye una serie de fabulosas canciones como "A felicidade", "A nosso amor" y "manha de carnaval". Al parecer los temas fueron tomados de la película, razón por la cual el audio no es el mejor. Este es un disco para coleccionistas entusiastas del bosanova pero no espere variedad ni calidad de audio. Como punto negativo encuentro que en el CD no incluyeron los nombres de los intérpretes de cada canción.

Excellent .......2007-07-04
I found what I was looking for at Amazon.com. I had been hunting it for a while. I ordered it and it came quickly. It was exactly as stated and I am now happy. thanks
Like a small box of expensive and delicious candies!.......2007-06-12
The sound is the best I've heard on this album, with rhyhmic percussions that make you want to move. Consider Day Tripper, the Beatles tune, where it's lead guitar lines are transferred to a latin-tinged mambo type rhythmic pattern. Many of their favorite songs are here: Mais Que Nada, The Joker, One Note Samba etc. There is much more presence heard on this album than ever before, with clean and spacious highs and lows. The only negative comment I have is that at only a bit over 25 minutes long with only 10 short cuts, this is like tasting a small box of expensive, classy and delicious Brazilian candies. Give me more! more! Why didn't they add some outakes? But......those 25 minutes are pure ecstasy.
Herb Alpert Presents Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66.......2007-05-13
I found this particular CD to be excellent to listen to. It reminds me very much of the mid 60's, the artist's singing is of high quality and the samba music sounds are great.
I recommend this cd to all people who love brasilian music.
Bossa nova brilliance!.......2007-03-02
From the frenetic opening song 'Mais Que Nada,' to the comforting 'Berimbau,' this record is a surefire winner. If you're new to Mendes and his five million incarnations of 'Brasil (insert year here),' then this album just might be the perfect starter, as 'Mais' is no doubt his best-known hit single. Of course, you could always check out the NEW version of that song on his new 'Timeless' album with Black-Eyed Peas, but if you're not crazy about the funky urban reinvention (as am I), then by all means check this original one out. It'll melt all your worries away within seconds!
Great sound & performance; but so-so packaging.......2007-01-22
I would submit this review for any and all of the recent A&M and Verve releases from the Brasil '66, beginning with Segio Mendes's debut disc (here) with the band. Unlike his contemporaries from the post-Bossa Nova wave in American jazz circles, Sergio Mendes carved a whole new genre, stylizing Brasilian sounds with jazz, and accesible popular tunes of the period. These works were greatly accentuated by the amazing vocal talents of Lani Hall, which breath new life in this pristine re-mastering. On another level, however, the running lengths of these discs are bothersome. At just over 30 minutes, it is hard to imagine why any record label could justify not issuing two-for-ones. At a retail cost of 5 or 6 bucks, there would be no room for complaint. But at $9 to $12, it seems unlikely these discs will be in print for very long.

good listening's.......2007-07-07
unable to type correctly because of paine. this music is nice to listen to when bed bound, but first you must hear it.
Sergio Mendes/Classics Vol.18.......2007-04-05
One of the finest compilations by the Sergio Mendes/Brazil 66 group available. All excellent selections including but not limited to: So Many Stars, Pretty World, and the signature classic Mais Que Nada.
This is a must have.
"Pretty World".......2006-06-28
Sergio Mendes 40th Anniversary concert at the Hollywood Bowl last Sunday, June 25, 2006 was a blast! To put a few words in a capsule that would describe that memorable evening, here goes . . .
Full-packed venue.
Tickets sold out.
Wonderful, alive and responsive audience.
Great performances of Sergio Mendes and his guests.
A night to remember.
It was a very memorable concert for I have met in person a musical legend while he was signing my CD booklets I brought with me. He's such an exceptional pianist, composer and a Bossa Nova icon as well. I've followed his musical career since Day One spanning four decades and have collected a good number of his most notable recordings of all-time. To me, the best part of the concert was the appearances of the equally talented husband and wife team of trumpeter, Herb Alpert, and the original Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66 vocalist, Lani Hall. To the delight of the audience, they did a medley of my all-time favorites from this impressive collection "The Look of Love" (my friend and I as well as the audience were singing along) and "Fool On The Hill." Ditto with the performance by Joe Pizzulo of one of his hit songs "Never Gonna Let You Go." On this performance the audience started waving their cell phones (some with small flashlights) and you could see the lights illuminated from the phones - it was a beautiful sight - it's almost like seeing sparkling beads all over the place. The performances on "Mas Que Nada" and my very favorite song "Pretty World" were so nice, these are two of the seventeen tracks from this timeless and classic collection.
"Why don't we take a little piece of summer sky
Hang it on a tree
For that's the way to start to make a pretty world
For you and for me
And for the sun we'll take a lemon bright balloon
You can hold the string
Oh can't you see that little world of ours will be
The prettiest thing
We can gather rain enough for the stream
To hold our happy faces
When we want a breeze, I'll blow you a kiss or two
Take me in your arms and our little world
Will be the place of places
Nothing left to make but breakfast and love
We'll hang a little sign that says,
'Paradise: Population Two'
For that's the way to start to make a pretty world
For me and for you
For you, it's what I wanted to do, to do
To make a world..... with you."
Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66 "Classics, Volume 18" is an absolute representation of typical Sergio Mendes music from the initial track "Mas Que Nada" to the final cut, "Alibis."
This is the kind of music you have enjoyed yesterday and will enjoy today, tomorrow and forever.
Timeless music.
This 1987 retrospective is badly in need of a facelift........2005-12-29
If you did not grow up in the 1960's you just might wonder why so many baby boomers continue to be fixated on the music of that decade. The Billboard charts were filled with so many new and exciting sounds. When one thinks of 60's music the British Invasion and Motown immediately come to mind. But there were a number of other sounds that made an impact in the 1960's as well. Sergio Mendes brought his unique blend of Brazilian, jazz and American pop styles to America for the first time in 1966. His music was an instant sensation.
Although Sergio Mendes himself did not sing, he was the pianist, arranger, producer and musical director of this unique group. Led by vocalist Lani Hall, Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66 would produce some of the most innovative sounds of the late 60's. "Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66-86" features many of the highlights of the groups outstanding work during this period as well as a pair of hits from a later incarnation of the act in the mid 1980's.
To me "Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66-`86" was always a very strange concoction. Issued as part of A&M Records 25th anniversary "Classics" series in 1987, I was never very pleased with the way this one was done. If you are looking for the great 60's hits like "The Look of Love", "Scarborough Fair" and "The Fool On The Hill" then you will find them all here. Also included is the groups amazing 1969 hit "Pretty World" which is perhaps my favorite Sergio Mendes tune from that era as well as the groups very first hit single in America "Mas Que Nada". While the group experienced a fair amount of success on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart during this period, Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66 were a fixture on adult contemporary radio stations throughout the late 60's and early 70's. The group also sold a ton of albums. In fact, their debut LP simply entitled "Sergio Mendes and Brasil `66" remained on Billboards album charts for an amazing 126 weeks! You will find a number of selections from these LP's on this disc including "With A Little Help From My Friends", "Like A Lover" and the lovely "So Many Stars". Also included are a couple of fine instrumentals.
In 1983, Sergio Mendes re-emerged on A & M records with a brand new cast of charactors. The soulful single "Never Gonna Let You Go" featuring the splendid lead vocals of Joe Pizzulo and Leza Miller was one of the surprise hits of that year. Slightly more than a year later the wonderful pop single "Alibis" peaked at #29 on the Billboard pop chart. Both of these later singles are included on "Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66-'86" as well.
As I mentioned earlier I was never overly impressed with "Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66-86". The sound quality is OK but nothing more. The liner notes which were written some 19 years ago are dated and the packaging is drab. Of the 17 tracks in this collection I would question why 3 or 4 of them were included in the first place. Yet for all of these flaws this disc is still the best available Sergio Mendes collection released in the U.S. And that is too bad. In 1997, A&M's British unit released an updated 2 CD collection of Sergio Mendes. I am not particularly wild about that one either. Hopefully, Universal Records, who now controls the A&M catalogue in the U.S. will see fit to release an updated anthology of this remarkable act in the near future.
Keep looking, this is it........2005-09-28
I researched and this one contains most of the songs I love. Bought it and sounds great! Everyone that hears it loves it as well.

Groovin' at the Copacabana.......2006-07-28
It's okay!There's NO Barry Manilow on this album--trust me.This is an EXCELLENT compilation of new Brazilian sounds.This is also one of Putumayo's better Groove albums.
Highlights-
1)Maria Moita-A retro,'50s styled song with a florid saxophone solo.For all its perkiness,it's about domestic violence.Despite its grim subject matter,the song is beautiful.
2)Outro Lado-A jazzy song from Zuco 103.Perfect music for relaxing with a cold margarita or mojito.And to think the song is about an unfaithful lover!
3)A Historia de Morena-Max de Castro blends a Hammond organ with a horn section to make a funky song.It's a very inventive song--and it's all about a woman who dances wearing nothing but body paint at Carnival.
4)Lagoinha-Carlinhos Brown recently contributed tracks to Bebel Gilberto (the peppy "Aganju"&"Jabuticaba" if you're curious)This song confirms why he's one of Brazil's greatest percussionists.He spices it up with Middle Eastern violins.
5)Mas que nada-A space age version of a Sergio Mendes classic.Yes,I'm using the term "space age" in its 50s&60s retro meaning.
6)Sou do bem-A joyous reggae-funk samba song.Has the strange cuica,a friction drum which could be called the Brazilian theremin.
7)Beleza-An upbeat hymn to beauty.I once had all 5 of my CDs on shuffle,and the CD player played this song,then Chico Cesar's "Beleza mano" on his self-titled CD.
8)Coco do Mundo-A delightfully weird,syncopated song.The singer,Viviani Godoy,looks like the Brazilian Jennifer Aniston.This is one of those "Must Hear Again&Again" songs.
This is an enjoyable album.Makes you think of the beaches in Rio....
Loved It.......2006-07-26
I've had this CD for a while but i just haven't reviewed it yet, and i loved it. My favorite is electro coco.
But this is a fabulous cd. Putumayo really knows what he is doing. This is more like the pop side of this genre. It's really good.
LOVE IT!.......2006-07-22
I love this CD! It is so smooth and so cool. It is absolutely great music and if you're like me, you won't be able to help yourself from cranking it loudly in the car. Hey, who knows, it might even make you look cooler while you're cruising down the street (it could happen!).
Seriously, though, this collection is a refeshing change from the usual sad offerings from the American music scene. Getting to know the artists who are included has made me want to find more of their music. So, it's educational (and lifesaving!) as well as wonderful to listen to.
I highly recommend it to anyone who would like to branch out and spread their wings musically.
Groovy.......2005-10-08
Do not drive when listening to this very "DANGEROUS! your focus will be on the energetic beat that some of the tracks have and the others kinda bossa novaish, so your feet will want to bossa instead of breakish! I really have enjoyed this.
recommend!.......2005-09-02
This is a great CD, fun, and good to listen to over and over again. We definitely recommend it.

Excellent CD.......2007-05-04
From the time i received this CD, it had never left my CD player and had been listening to it over end over again. I don't speak Portuguese, but have been listening to it for a long time now. Gal has widened my appreciation of Brazilian music, samba and bossa nova. This CD is highly recommended. Muito obrigado!!!
Unspectacular, but very nice - -.......2007-04-06
(should have had Kristan, her official translator on hand; only kidding)- she handled the conversation pretty well, actually - - - sure didn't sound like a 61 year old woman; doesn't look her age either. Four superb back-up musicians -- some wiggy guitar changes snuck-in there, good bass and subtle percussion. Gal Costa sounded fine, and it's simply a nice addition to my collection - - - one I'll play on our boat while cruising in the Gulf, or out by the pool until we're able to return to beautiful Rio next year.
FOR EXPORT.......2007-03-08
It was a great pleasure to find a so high quality live recording, much better than anyone could expect. Recorded in Tokio, with special setlist and made specially for exportation and overseas countries, whoever appreciates Brazilian music with the best musical arrangements could have been performed, will enjoy and ask for ENCORE!
Gal is in your Livingroom.......2006-10-02
Awesome! She says, " Ifeel Like I'm in your Livingroom". She truly is in this small acoustical environement. Her voice never fails her; but I was surprised at how low her conversational voce was for a Diva, that can outdo anyone in vocal range. Obrigada, GAl. So if you want the brazilian classic bossa nova/samba jazz created by the masters; Jobim,de Moraes, et.,only Gal can muster that feat vocally.
