Free Music Notes for Rive Gauche Rio
Free Music Review: If you like elegant, sensual, seductive, beautifully melodic music...
Hit: 5 Stars
Celso Fonseca is a major find, a first rank musician in every respect. He is a superb singer, composer, song writer, recording producer and guitarist, and if you love the music of Jobim, you're sure to love Celso Fonseca. I have seven of his albums, and rank Juventude (Slow Motion Bossa Nova) and Paradiso as his best, although I wouldn't part with any of them. Rive Gauche Rio is a first rate addition. I discovered his CDs in Rio at a little record store in Ipanema a block and 1/2 from Jobim's old hangout. Rive Gauche Rio and Natural are available in the US, but Amazon is the only source I have found that regularly offers Celso's Brazilian CDs in the United States. If you like elegant, sensual, seductive, beautifully melodic music, Celso is your man. I caught his solo performance in New York at the Blue Note, which was a sold out success, and he's a terrific performer. To paraphrase an early enthusiast (and it's only slightly hyperbolic), "Celso is guaranteed to have you and your lover horizontal before the album ends." In short, he's a major event, the real thing, and Brazilian music at it's best.
Rive Gauche Rio Poster
'Rive Gauche Rio' features nine new haunting Celso Fonseca compositions, two unusual covers, a reinterpretation of British singer-songwriter Damien Rice's 'Delicate' and a Portuguese version of French crooner Henri Salvador's 'J'ai vu', and a refreshing duet with Urugayan singer/guitarist and Academy Award Winning composer for the Motorcycle Diaries, Jorge Drexler on the latter's composition 'Don de Fluir'. Six Degrees. 2005.While songwriter Celso Fonseca hasn't gotten the same kind of recognition as modern day bossa nova classicist Rosa Passos or electro-modernist Bebel Gilberto, he's truly a bossa nova talent worthy of much wider recognition. His last album, Natural, was a potpourri of tasteful sounds anchored by his guitar playing as well as samba percussion. On Rive Gauche Rio, Fonseca ups the ante with a sound that is more seamless and wholly unified. The heartbeat of the 12 songs here is still Brazilian and the acoustic guitar is ever present, but he gracefully broadens his palette with tasteful touches of flute, multi-tracked vocals, upright bass, electric piano and hand percussion. His voice is as warm and sensual as ever, and equally at home in his native Portuguese or English ? he does a lovely samba version of Damien Rice's "Delicate." Opener "O Rio Para Tras" is a stunning example of this album's panoramic elegance; it also emphatically announces the arrival of one of the best Brazilian albums of 2005. ?-Tad Hendrickson
