While songwriter Celso Fonseca hasn't gotten the same kind of recognition as modern day bossa nova classicist Rosa Passos or electro-modernist Bebel Gilberto, he's truly a bossa nova talent worthy of much wider recognition. His last album, Natural, was a potpourri of tasteful sounds anchored by his guitar playing as well as samba percussion. On Rive Gauche Rio, Fonseca ups the ante with a sound that is more seamless and wholly unified. The heartbeat of the 12 songs here is still Brazilian and the acoustic guitar is ever present, but he gracefully broadens his palette with tasteful touches of flute, multi-tracked vocals, upright bass, electric piano and hand percussion. His voice is as warm and sensual as ever, and equally at home in his native Portuguese or English - he does a lovely samba version of Damien Rice's "Delicate." Opener "O Rio Para Tras" is a stunning example of this album's panoramic elegance; it also emphatically announces the arrival of one of the best Brazilian albums of 2005. --Tad Hendrickson

Album Description

On Celso Fonseca's previous Ziriguiboom/Six Degrees release, the luminous "Natural", he soulfully revisited the very roots of pure bossa & samba. With this second international release, the seductive singer/guitarist,who has been a regular collaborator of such classic artists as Gilberto Gil, Marisa Monte and Caetano Veloso continues to cement his reputation as one of the most exciting new voices in Brazilian music.

"Rive Gauche Rio" features nine new haunting Celso Fonseca compositions, two unusual covers (a reinterpretation of British singer-songwriter Damien Rice's "Delicate", a Portuguese version of French crooner Henri Salvador's "J'ai vu"), and a refreshing duet -in Spanish- with Urugayan singer/guitarist Jorge Drexler (on the latter's composition "Don de Fluir").

The instrumentation on this new album is a touch fuller than on "Natural" with several songs featuring a definite `band' sound fleshed out with drums, bass, a `60s-style Fender Rhodes piano and touches of woodwinds. However, the tasteful atmosphere and mood of "Rive Gauche Rio" is an extension of Natural's warm, elegant and sensual sound, all dominated by Celso's caressing voice and splendid guitar playing.

5 out of 5 stars More mellow delights from Celso Fonseca.......2007-03-09

Celso Fonseca is one of the great, but unfortunately too often overlooked and underrated, bossa nova masters of the last decade. With a voice as expressive as Caetano Veloso at his best, and a generally laid-back Latin jazz style, Fonseca always delivers. Rive Gauche Rio is no exception.

5 out of 5 stars The COOLEST Bossa Nova for the new millennium.......2007-02-02

WOW, ever since buying this at Borders two days ago, I can't get enough of this CD; I just cannot help but play it over and over again. Both Celso Fonseca's delicate guitar playing is really smack-dab on par with his crooning vocals. They're both SO SUBTLE AS WELL AS SERENE, they ought to be plucking away at your heartstrings (just like it did to mine!)

Anyway, who knows? Over 40 years ago Antonio Carlos Jobim, Joao Gilberto, and Vinicius de Moraes created an international buzz with their "bossa nova" (Portuguese for "new wave" or "new attitude") movement in the area of music ever to break out of Brazil. Even if it's not as phenomenal today (at least I beg to differ), big deal, so what? Since we're already in the 21st century, the timing of Fonseca's two albums (this being his second) couldn't be better. :)

4 out of 5 stars Delicate.......2005-11-17

Truth be told, if pressed, we couldn't really tell, say, a samba from a bossa nova from a cha cha from any other mid-tempo, Latin dance style, for that matter. We do know, however, that we are magnetically drawn to the sultry beats of nearly all Brazilian music. Celso Fonseca, a superb singer/musician, is our latest Brazilian discovery. Fonseca's self-produced cd, `Rive Gauche Rio', is an enthralling piece of work. Grounded by the gentle strum of his guitar, Fonseca's alluring ballads are buoyed by the tasteful presence of horns, multi-tracked vocals, gentle percussion and modern studio devices and techniques. Fonseca's melodies and performances exude warmth and sensuality. Unfortunately, we may have to learn Portuguese in order to properly assess his way with words (although two songs are sung in English, including an intriguing rendition of Irish folk-singer, Damien Rice's `Delicate'). But really, with music this sumptuous, words hardly matter.



4 out of 5 stars i stumbled upon this 1..........2005-10-06

i was on iTunes (as i am most of the time) and stumbled upon this album due 2 a "referral" and i have 2 tell u, it's completely worth every penny i spent! i've been a huge fan of bossa nova 4 a few years now and this guy's sound is very close 2 the original stuff (or the closest i've heard thus far). his voice seems 2 melt over the music like butter (ok that was corny). my favorite song on this album is "Pousada". so, check this out if u're up 2 hearing what the new sound of brazil has 2 offer!

4 out of 5 stars The coolest sound from Rio.......2005-07-22

The second Celso Fonseca album comes as a nice surprise to me. The first didn't impress me that much, but this contains high quality songs (well unless you are tired of the bossa nova stereotype) and a great voice, really a bit too much similar to Caetano Veloso but this is not a fault but a pleasure to me.
Two of the songs are really wonderful,"Rio para tras" and "Um mondo estranho". Not that peculiar the cover of Damien Rice and the instrumental "Atlantico". Very nice the duet with Jorge Drexler and the cover of Henri Salvador. Probably a bit too much all in the same mood but very classy. The production is minimal but when the songs are good they don't need much more than a voice and an acoustic guitar.
