Product description VARIOS INTERPRETES ACOUSTIC BRAZIL .com With its amazing mix of Portuguese, African, and Indian musical genres, dances, and instruments, Brazil's pop scene is unique because so much of it is acoustic. This disc is a pleasing potpourri of mostly non-electronic tunes sung by some famous and not-so-famous artists. Of course, the samba--the country's most dominant genre--and its offshoots are well represented here. The disc includes some well-known, previously released selections, including the Bahian, Tropicalismo pioneer Caetano Veloso's existentially poetic "Cajuina," guitarist Marcio Faraco's festive, Nordeste-nuanced "Ciranda," with the superstar vocalist Chico Buarque, and the perky, Maranhao-born Rita Ribeiro's samba-reggae number "Tem Quem Queira." Some lesser-known artists include the Arab-Brazilian vocalist Glaucia Nasser, Lula Queiroga, and Monica Salmaso, whose "Moro Na Roca" is a powerful, Angola-derived lundu/jongo homage to the legendary Clementina de Jesus. This disc adds credence to the phrase, "keep it real." --Eugene Holley, Jr. P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Review "...the soundtrack for more intimate moments...an album full of gems." -- Associated Press, February 24, 2005 See more

Talented musicians and unique beats
I enjoyed this album for a number of reasons; first being it is unlike any other in my collection. In my corner of America, it's difficult to find this type of music out on the regular airwaves (I'm not blessed with satellite/HD radio). So this CD is a good contrast to the day-to-day garb broadcasted to me. Secondly, the CD has a good flow. No two songs sound the same, but the entire album was produced to radiate relaxing tunes that calm me down on the way home after a bad day at work. Lastly, this album is a compilation of many talented artists that typically don't get a chance to be heard outside of their country and/or genre. It's a great "cafe-time" album, but not anything that will excite the masses.

A Good Sampling
A good sampling of a kind of music that Americans don't hear much much. I learned from it and I hope to hear more Brazilian music in the future.

One of my favorite Cd's from Putumayo
Loved that this had a lot of the old favorites, but in the acoustic version. I could appreciate the songs more with the slower tempo. I listen to this in traffic and it does the trick: no more road rage :). Seriously, it is relaxing and upbeat at the same time. Happy with my purchase.

Fresh and modern
The cover art may give the impression that this is another "Buena Vista" style survey of old men playing in bars. There's nothing wrong with that, but in fact this is a collection of forward-looking mellow pop. Many of the tunes wouldn't have sounded incongruous in Putumayo's Brazilian Groove or Latin Lounge compilations. It's fresh, modern acoustic pop with a Brazilian twist, and the quality is consistently excellent.

Acoustic samba
Lovely selection of gentle and lilting samba music. My family enjoyed having it on in the background over the Christmas dinner.
