CD Reviews

Vibrant - Passionate

Cate Gable | Berkeley, CA | 07/05/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"A brilliant fado duo of Cristina Branco's lush voice and the exquisite guitar of Custodio Castelo. My particular favorites are the simple, folk-like melody of Aconteceu (It Happened) about a love quietly growing; and the lilting Meu Amor e Marinheiro (My Beloved is a sailor); the introductory guitar rif is a classic - haunting and beautifully articulated. The lyrics are in Portuguese, French, and English. Most read like poetry.Put on the headphones and prepare to have your heart broken."

Beyond Janis Joplin

Karl Stull | Peoria, IL USA | 09/22/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"For my generation, the paragon of singing from the heart was Janis Joplin. In Cristina Branco you'll find a voice of similar intensity but less raspiness and more shading of feelings. Notice how young she sounds in "Aconteceu" and yet how inwardly sure that hers is a great love, which "just happened." By contrast, in "Meu Amor e Marinheiro" she is tight-lipped and defiant - maybe wearing her boyfriend's jacket, waiting for him to come back from the sea and "break open all the jail cells." In "Musa" she is dazzled and sitting still ("passive as a mirror"), so as not to miss a moment as love ignites. You don't need to know any Portuguese to understand that Cristina Branco is a great singer for this and any generation."
