Tedious, sleepy balladry.......2000-04-28
This CD is mostly filled with extremely slow, cheesy ballads which become quite boring. Besides, I think Ms Caram isn't a really good singer: although her voice is nice, she has a very narrow range and seems to be singing always the same notes, and that makes her sound very monotone. However, the two uptempo tracks are quite nice, especially "Africando", a very good samba: here she is rhythmically much more at ease and she sounds ultimately much more convincing than in the slow songs. "Maracaný", the other uptempo track, is also quite delighful, with a tasty final scat. But the shame is that 90% of the CD is slow. In summary, if you're an Ana Caram fan you may like this release, but if you don't know her and you're searching for good soft Brazilian balladry and bossa nova, I would recommend you to choose some other singers as Joýo Gilberto, Astrud Gilberto, Nara Leýo or Rossa Passos, for instance, which are much more compelling.
