What a voice!

"Somewhere deep in the Amazon jungle, there is a secret laboratory that is producing the world's greatest female singers. I mean, how do the Brazilians do it? Elis Regina, Joyce, Vania Abreu, Fernanda Porto, Adriana Calcanhotto...I could go on and on...and now we have that incredibly deep voice of Ana Rita Joana Iracema e Carolina. You'd never guess that someone who looks so delicate and girlish would have such a voice. It is overpowering without ever sounding pushed. It reminds me somewhat of Maria Bethania's and (agreeing with another reviewer here) of Cassia Eller's but I like Ana's more and it is well displayed in this fine set of well-arranged and fresh-sounding songs. Very danceable too. Check it out. I wish she were coming to my town. I'd have a front row seat for sure."

Ana e maravilhosa

"This cd is incredibly enjoyable. Ana's voice is richly textured and deeply moving. The music is mature, nuanced and energetic. One need not understand Portuguese to fall in love with this cd. Highly recommended. If you like Cassia Eller, Maria Bethania, or Joni Mitchell I bet you will love this cd.

"I bought this CD in a visit to Brazil, and rightb away fel in love with it. With powerful lyrics and enchanting music, it is one of the best CD I have. Her voice is unique, and the production is perfect, so if you like non conventional singers, go and buy it as soon as you can, even if you don't speak Portuguese!"
