CD ReviewsSweet! DJDecca | San Francisco Bay Area | 12/14/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Bravo! Brazilian guitarist/songwriter Guniga gathers an impressive array of guests and explores a wide variety of Brazilian music. The choro, waltz, samba, and more all played with great lyricism and technique. Great orchestra tracks, quiet solos, jazzy combos, fun duos...it's a most eclectic CD united by a Brazilian flair and truly top-of-their game performers. A wonderful CD." Terrific contemporary Brasilian music Timothy J. Gollin | Houston, TX United States | 01/14/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "You wouldn't want to pigeonhole Guinga. He's a great songwriter, and his CDs extend the vernacular of Brasilian music without losing sight of the most important part: it still swings. You could say 'lyrical', you could say 'unexpected harmonies', and interesting melodic and chromatic shifts. You could say quirky. All of it would be true, but the best part is that Guinga is both conscious of his tradition and constantly fighting with it and extending it. So you get Noel Rosa, samba, waltzes, Pernambuco, jazz, French café, American music hall, and much more, sometimes co-existing and sometimes fighting, but ALWAYS swinging. So it is classical, it is melodic, and you can dance to it: everything you would want in music. Did I mention also that he's a great orchestrator, and a great guitarist too ? Bears multiple listenings."
