A masterpiece by a Bossa Nova Master!!!!!!

Papetti | Mexico City | 03/01/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I do not agree at all with the previous reviewer; I think this is a very enjoyable effort by one of the most inspiring and well-regarded Bossa Nova Maestros.

The songs are very slow-paced and laid back for relaxation (like the title of his first CD - Muito a Vontade -)and enjoyment, without any commercial interests; only for those educated ears that can appreciate a masterpiece like this one; Just check tracks like:

- Nua Ideia (popularized by Gal Costa years ago)(co-written with Caetano Veloso).

- O Fundo.

- Bananeira (one of his most famous songs ever)(co-written with Gilberto Gil).

- E Menina.

and if you're looking for something more fast-paced and uplifting; chech the last cut

- Summer of Temptation (IMO one of his most remarkable songs ever).



Perfect CD for Joao's fans............"
