"An excellent live album featuring two great singers: the temperamental Elis Regina and the sultry Jair Rodrigues. This was the album which made Elis famous. It is composed by a neat repertoire of socially commited sambas performed under the clear spell of jazz, but very differently from the bossa nova recordings of that time: this is much more passionate and African-sounding. Elis is just great in this album: her singing is powerful, full of energy and so cheerful. Jair is also a brilliant singer with an incredible sense of rhythm.An unforgettable release full of good vibrations. Very recommended for All Elis and Jair fans as well as for all Brazilian Popular Music fans in general!"

"While living in Brasil in the mid '60s, I purchased this album on vinyl and am thankful to have found it still available and on CD! My original vinyl LP got warped while moving back to the US. It was one of the top selling albums of that time. It was my favorite Bossa Nova album. This live concert rocks with emotion, and latin rythm. The duets are captivating. "Arrastao" really touched my life. A powerful recording that brings back many saudades do Brasil. This album really exposes the powerful beat and passion of the 60's bossa movement. Anyone who appreciates Brazilian jazz/latin music should at least listen to this album."
