Free Music Notes for Momento (Dig)
Free Music Review: We're going to need more stars for this one!
Hit: 5 Stars
The German philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein said, "The limits of my language are the limits of my world". Ms. Gilberto's Momento uses her language of music - Portuguese and English - to increase the limits of your musical world. From the organized combinations of the alto flute and baritone sax in Night and Day to the profound utterance of the cello in Cade Voce. This is complicated and seductive music. Its life changing music and I have to experience it live.
See you in New York or Chicago.
This music should be shared with someone you care deeply for.

The name Gilberto immediately caught my eye, as I recalled some of the sexiest South American music of some years ago. This CD fulfills all those expectations -- and then some. The selections move from slow and sultry to catchy and sparkling in an easy transition. Gilberto's voice is soft, but distinct, and the arrangements complement the singer, they don't overwhelm her. Beautiful.Free Music Review: Summer Sundays....

Love this! It was fresh and breezy, perfect cooking music, and really nice to have playing during dinner(outside is best). Can't imagine why it wouldn't be great at a cocktail party.Free Music Review: Babel

Bebel Gilberto is one of those singers who provokes diverse reactions-like Norah Jones, there are those who intensely enjoy her music, and others who consider her music worthy of a dentist's office, best relegated to the background or an upscale clothing store. Entertainment Weekly has hailed her the "Norah Jones of her genre" and Oprah's magazine has praised her for "gorgeous Brazilian pop."
Since I enjoyed Bebel Gilberto's "Tanto Tempo" and self-titled sophomore effort, I kept an open mind about "Momento",her new album about living in the moment. It's fitting-since it clocks in at only 48 minutes. Each song is brief,an ephemeral appetizer. It's over so quickly one wonders about the main course. Bebel Gilberto remains the perpetually cheerful diva-unlike CeU,who has more variety.
"Momento" isn't a loss. Bebel Gilberto is trying to make a happy medium between the techno of "Tanto Tempo" and her acoustic self-titled album. She succeeds admirably. The title song is slow and thoughtful. "Bring back the love" with the Brazilian Girls is musical fluff;perfect for pop radio,but superior to most of the songs on Top 40 radio. "Os Novo Yorkinos" is a beautiful tribute to New York, complete with street sounds. "Azul" and "Cacada" flow into each other. Her bossa nova take on "Night and Day" is a perfect sensual take on the American standard. "Tranquilo" is a lively,live salsa number. "Um Segundo" means "In a Second",both it and "Cade Voce?" are complementary,one is gentle,the other dynamic.
Bebel Gilberto is developing her style. Her third album is enjoyable, and should be enjoyed for what it is-living in the moment.
