5 out of 5 stars A Perfect Song.......2007-03-18

I bought this CD back in 2000. I got my first Marisa CD in 1990. I have followed her career, dropped out for times, always when I reconnect I am amazed.

This CD has great moments, maybe a few songs miss but I won't mark them here. It has what I think is a perfect song.

If you love the music of Brasil, you must have this CD. That is all I have to say. It is the basis of her video DVD from Rio in 2000, and get that watch it to see her and how she performs. This concert is amazing.

The perfect song is not in the concert unfortunately. It is the last cut here. "Sou seu sabia." A song by Caetano Veloso. And perfectly Caetano.

Marisa sings it perfectly. She went to Italy to study to be an opera singer but decided that was not for her and returned to Brasil and began her great career. In this song, you hear her technique. I am an opera person, and I know that here the technique pays off. Her singing is just fantastic, I would say perfect.

Caetano's lyics are just as perfectly composed. His song becomes the exact thing he is trying to express. I can't say anymore. He has composed a song that expresses human desire through birdsong and Marisa perfectly signs it. This is lyrical and musical expression at its most intense. The arrangement here is lush, some people might misinterpret this. The expessive intensity is everywhere apparent, although.

One should buy this CD for that one track but there is so much else to buy it for.

4 out of 5 stars BRAZILIAN SOFT MUSIC.......2006-07-24

Amazing songs... music to take a a moment for relax with the beautiful brazilian sounds...

5 out of 5 stars Explore Brasil's finest voice.......2006-06-14

I truly agree with "wordsmule" review on this CD.

Marisa Monte shows us what love is all about brazilan style. Do not get me wrong, this is not "typical", folklore or "world like" music.. Brazil has its own contemporary dimmension in many fields including music... and this is so universal..lets not forget that through internet and Amazon we can have access to this expression that otherwise would be reserved to those priviligied to have the access to this treasures. I live in one of the many countries neighbouring Brazil and its still very hard (and expensive) to locally find brazilian music.

4 out of 5 stars musica para todos.......2004-10-25

a lot of my brazilian friends don't like her voice on this cd, but as an american who's brazilian at heart, i have to say i love this cd...especially songs 2 and 4. i've listened to it so much now my cd skips.
