CD Reviews

My childhood is in here

Paulo Y. Haranaka | Concord, CA USA | 07/14/2002

"It was really great to find this album. Nara Leao was more than nice to have the idea of recording songs that we don't listen on the radio. I looked for one particular song recorded in this album for 40 years! No kidding. And in reality, I bought this CD for that song only."Andorinha Preta" was sung to me the very first time by my elementary school teacher. I never forgot that morning when she brought her guitar, set on the floor with us and sang this song. The following year, I heard that my teacher had left the school because she had a weak health and could not teach anymore.I never saw or heard from her again but likewise I never forgot her singing "Andorinha Preta"."

Reissue of an acoustic gem from 1975

"Nara Leao is one of my favorite Brazilian vocalists. This is a beautiful, quiet acoustic album which Leao saw as a companion to the bossa-oriented "Dez Anos Depois" album. Here Leao leans towards an older Brazilian style, the delicate and sprightly style known as choro. The songs mainly come from less well-known, old-school composers -- Ary Barroso and Joao de Barro are the only names I recognize offhand. As Nara points out, this is music which people could no longer hear on the radio, so that's why she made the album. Nice job, too. Recommended!"
