Customer Reviews:

A classic is always new.......2006-03-03

Wonderful old songs from the 70s and later. Mellow but powerful singing. A must for any Brazilian music collection

Rich Brazilian Bossa/Jazz/Funk.......2002-10-04

Great collection of beautiful songs arranged with so much interesting percussion, electric piano, and acoustic guitar that you could listen to this all day and never hear everything built into these tracks. Great vocals too but these are always balanced just right with the orchestra. This is probably the best album of dozens I have bought this year. If you like this you may also like Astrud Gilberto's "Gilberto with Turrentine". I wish I could find more music like this.

Edu Lobo: A Genius.......2001-09-11

If you are shopping for light bossa Jobim style, this is not the album you want. On the other hand, if you have ever dug Egberto Gismonti, Gil Evans, Milton...meaning, something different,innovative, a little dissonance, you must get this album. Hermeto Pascoal's intervention is also amazing

An Exotic Adventure!.......2001-08-11

I have just recently started getting into Brazilian music, and this album is one of the resaons why. The pulsating beats, exotic rhythms and flowing melodies are something to behold here. All of the tracks are great, but my favorites were "Zanzibar", "Crystal Illusion" (a very trance-like song), "Casa Forte" and "Jangada". Even Lobo's version of "Hey Jude" is engaging. If I wanted to turn someone on to Brazilian music, I would start with this album. It's that good.

My introduction to Edu Lobo..........2000-06-19

I enjoyed this CD very much--after I gave myself time to get used to Edu Lobo's style, which I was not familiar with prior to this album.

Of course, for years I heard his songs performed by other musicians, but never by Edu himself. This made quite a difference, but by the third time through, I was enjoying what I heard, very much.

My favorites are "Zanzibar", "Crystal Illusions", and "Casa Forte".

Edu sings with conviction, passion, and style. After this album, I won't hesitate to listen to more of him!
