CLASSIC .......2006-10-31

This is not strictly a "Brazilian" CD in that it wasn't made in Brazil. But it may as well have been. "Songs from the Tin" is an instant classic. It has a trance-like, beautiful sound to it...almost Suba-like but more upbeat than "Sao Paulo Confessions". There is almost nothing like "Songs from the Tin" in the entire panorama of "Brazilian" music - "Songs from the Tin" breaks new ground. Indeed, Da Lata have yet to repeat these heights (or indeed have anyone else) - a delight from start to finish.

RHYTHMIC AND INSPIRING.......2006-05-11

"Songs from the Tin" is an explosion of colors, sexy voices, melodic rhythms and eclecticism. Nowadays, it seems difficult to find and album that could both inspire your soul and wake your feet up. Nonetheless, with their very first album, Da lata could not only reinvent Brazilian traditional styles, but also create a breathtaking and sensual collage with no intention but to seduce the listener. An assault on the senses.

A mesmerizing and captivating atmosphere opens the album: whispering, drums, moans; thirty seconds, and you are already intrigued. And suddenly, like a brilliant aurora, the magnificent voice of Dierdre transports you to another world of fantasy and delight. That is "Binti". "Cores" establishes the drums' reign; it is a song to dance while the sun sets. There is a warm delicacy about a song like "The Rain Song", a deep melancholy, a true feeling. Maybe it is Lilliana Chachian's husky voice, maybe it is the sultry guitar. You cannot help but adore it.

"Borboleta" always draws a smile on my face. It starts as a terribly simple composition, stripped down, almost acoustic. Then the violin crying, then the delicate drums, then the guitars murmuring. Seductive. "Pra manha" is a samba I cannot resist. It tempts you, it lures you. You either dance or dance. "Tregua" is exactly that: a moment of rest and relax.

Nevertheless, soon you are impelled to dance again, although this time to a darker, more serious song. It is "Inae". "Indo" is a charming bossa nova, with its exquisite rhythm and its seductive trumpet. Pure bliss. "Rio Vida" is a sun-drenched walk around Brazilian beaches, an impetus, a self-content laughter.

The album closes with a rather haunting, elegant instrumental composition. There is a certain sadness about it, like the lonely coldness of a night that is about to end. It is simply moving.

"Songs from the Tin" is definitely one of my favourite albums: a mixture of passion, sensuality and rhythm. It is a celebration of music, a moment of warmth, a catharsis. It is the album that you will love.

Wondrous!.......2005-12-10

I don't know much about this group, but this is a great album! Brazilian trance-pop with lots of native instruments, including guitars and deep bass drums. Recording is very clean.

Highly recommended.

do yourself a favor.......2005-06-04

turn off your radio that plays all that preprogrammed garbage and listen to this. Da Lata I came across doing the dirty deed of downloading, but now own both their albums...I am not crazy about Serious, as it lacks the easy sensuality of this album. Songs from the Tin explores samba and bossa nova beats where Serious explores more pop and r and b. songs of the tin is a music that puts you in a place and time that you want to be, usually near the ocean in warm weather and in the southern hemisphere. The vocals are smooth and inviting, the rhythms ones you cant forget and altogether the sound is exotic and pleasurable.

Surpringsingly Brazilian.......2003-11-29

As a Brazilian, used to MPB ("Musica Popular Brasileira") and Bossa Nova, I was very surprised by this CD. It represents the continuous evolution and experimentation that defines modern Brazilian music. Like the Brazilian culture, its music is always evolving, providing new interpretations of our memories and opening our eyes to a world of creativity. Some folks might complain about a track or two, but innovation has its risks. This is Brazil.
