Reviewed 2004-03-05
Classic songs (both traditional and contemporary) from Portugal and Brazil, sung by a gorgeous female voice & backed by guitar, accordion, percussion, bass. In places delicate & intimate, in others lively w/a touch of jazz or folk. Good stuff.

1. Lovely, lyrical a capella version of a traditional song. Can lead into 2
*2. Relaxed w/a sweet accordion/guitar accents.
*3. A light & catchy dance w/nicely swaying chorus & percussion.
4. Slow, lovely, reflective.
5. Bright & joyful w/a catchy melody.
*6. Expressive fado track w/strong vocals.
7. Strings/perc/vocals create a light little jazzy sway.
8. More fado w/extra sadness. Slow & aching.
9. Downtempo & stately w/nice blend of vox/perc/accordion.
*10. There’s a nice Paris Café feel to this relaxed dance.
*11. Crystal vocals in a warm, delicious ballad.
12. Lively, percussion-driven w/nice energy.
13. Mid-tempo w/increasing emotion.
14. A melodic love song w/nice guitar/vocals.
