Album Description The title of Sunshine Barato combines two languages, English and Portuguese. Barato means "cheap," and the album name, taken literally, is a no-strings advertisement of a most appealing sort: Cheap Sunshine! As the title suggests, Mosquitos create a sweet and sensual bilingual mix, happily melting the borders between American and Brazilian cultures, intermingling the sounds and sensibilities of both in their songs. Juju sings new wave-styled pop in English ("Blue Heart"); Chris tries a little bossa nova in Portuguese ("No Fim Do Pais"); the three band members blend tropicalia with psychedelia for a crack-of-dawn beachside sing-along ("Free As Love"). For forty minutes or so, Rio feels like a short subway ride from Manhattan. If only. Sunshine Barato serves as a quick, delicious escape, offering repeated doses of the instant pleasure derived from the perfect two-and-a-half minute pop song. But it also contains a message to take back to our real, often troubled world: there?s plenty of cheap sunshine available for all of us to share -- love don?t cost a thing. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsMore fun , love and sunshine by the mosquitos Jose (Joseph) | philadelphia | 11/02/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "The Mosquitos have put fun, love and sunshine to a latin beat, thrown in tones from the 70's, 80's and 90's to make for a delightful mix of many tunes and sounds. This cd will keep you going through the winter, it's delivers as promised, sunshine barato (cheap sunshine) i'll take it anyway I can get it. thanks mosquitos Jose (Joseph)" Prognosis: Warm Sunshine Coming Your Way .... JazzCat | Washington, DC | 11/17/2004 (4 out of 5 stars) "As an avid MPB, bossa nove, and Brazilian jazz fan I was prepared not to like this, having heard some hype on this band. But after repeated listening, I found myself humming some of the tunes on this album, which is usually a good sign. In a word it's cute. Sugar, sweet, poppy, whatever you want to call it, it's different and it catches your attention and puts a smile on your face. Bossa nova and brazilian jazz it ain't, but who cares when your ears are being tickled? This CD would appeal to listeners who like both indie-pop and world music, not necesarily hard-core MPB or bossa nova fans. In short, a great second effort that should capture some deserved attention and open the door to other great Brazilian sounds. I can't wait to see them live. Recommended!" Very swanky cd =O) Dena Marie Abernathy | Louisville, KY | 02/24/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) ""I like this cd. The music makes me feel like I'm waking up (yes I am a morning person) to a nice warm breeze.....with rays of the sun kissing my forhead. Its a really grrrrreat!!""
