Explosion at the canecao

"1975 found Chico and Bethania working together on stage for the first time.This happened at the nightclub Canecao in Rio's Botafogo neighborhood.Response was so overwhelming that the weeekend shows were sold out for over six months. This amazing album was the child of this tournee which showcased Chico's songwriting and Bethania's singing and unusually dramatic performance ."Ole Ola","Sinal Fechado","Foi Assim" became classics as a result.The first single "Vai levando" became a Top Ten with a bullet upon release and the album reigned atop the Hot 100 Brasil chart for over four months.Not bad for a first time collaboration.But again,Chico Buarque has been polled to be the Artist of the Century in his country.Bethania,likewise,is considered the Queen of Romantic Song and the first female singer to have a million selling album later in 1978.This is a gem!"

Um CD imperdível! Um show maravilhoso!

"Este show é verdadeiramente imperdível e, graças a Deus, já que o perdemos (pelo menos eu), convém ouvir este CD simplesmente maravilhoso. O arranjo em Gota d'água é magistral e nunca mais visto em outros shows ou discos (se eu estiver enganado, alguém me avise, por favor). Mas todas as faixas são de um brilhantismo somente existente quando se juntam dois artistas do porte de Chico Buarque e Maria Bethania. Comprem! Não vão se arrepender!"

An excellent Brazilian pop album.

"This is a great live collaboration between two of Brazil's biggest pop stars. Originally released in 1975."
