CD Reviews

An Unsung Giant
Brazuka | Jacuzzi Suite, Poland | 10/19/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Though surely a legend in Brazil, João Bosco is relatively unknown outside the Coconut/Cachaça Land. Which is a shame - because he would be a delight to listen to for all those who love Tom Jobim or João Gilberto but don't have the guts to venture further into the jungle of Brazilian folk-jazz.



True, his style is not an instant hit, and when I first bought a Bosco CD, I was like "Gee... what the hell...", but a few times later, you get hooked, and you know that your musical experience can only be complete with Bosco echoeing in your brain. What this guy does with his voice... kinda hard to believe he's a Homo Sapiens. It's not just a pleasant sound, it's the rhythm acrobatics that is so out of this world. Don't make me try to be more specific. I'm not a critic. Besides, even the best critic would sound silly trying to describe it to someone who hasn't ever heard it.



The greatest strength of this album is "Então o que quereis / Corsário". - one of the most melodious tracks (and least bizarre to the non-initiated)."
Bizarrely beautiful

"I must agree with the above comments. Having become a bit of a Brazil nut, I keep on discovering more wonderful & "unusual" [at least to Western ears] music from Brazil. Joao is an amazing guitarist, writer & vocalist. The vocal acrobatics of which he is master never take away from the musical content, but rather serve it. His voice will astound & refresh your ears! I own 5 of his recordings & there are no duds! His style is difficult to categorize: gentle ballads, frenzied sambas, African-influenced songs, smooth pop/jazz crosses - no words can really explain his music. You need to hear this guy. He will sneak up on you with each playing. You WILL become hooked on Bosco's sound!"
Good music!

"I've seen a recording of Joao Bosco in the Mezzo cable station and fell for it immediately. Like other Brazilian artists like Gismonti, Veloso and Gilberto Gil, Bosco is able to improvise on the guitar and entertain in a style you haven't heard before! A definitely pleasant acustic experience!"
