Free Music Notes for Brazilian Duos
Free Music Review: Truly amazing! I may be wearing out the CD
Hit: 5 Stars
"Brazilian Duos" is Desert Island music for me. I.e., if I were to be marooned on a desert island with only a few CDs, it would be one I would choose. Of all my Brazilian music (I speak Portuguese and have quite a few), this is the one that gets the most play. The craftsmanship of everyone involved with this album is immaculate. Luciana's voice is gorgeous, her enunciation crisp, her arrangements charming. The guitarists are equally amazing.
Depending on what you've heard, you may have to broaden your concept of Brazilian music. This is intimate music, just one voice and one acoustic guitar, almost more in the way of chamber music. No drums, no backing choirs, etc. If Luciana Souza were to sing for you, in your living room, this is what you would hear. You would never forget it. It is unique, not at all formulaic. Its jazz, samba, choro, traditional, all on a personal scale. Its beauty, charm, humor, love, saudade. This is music that you love, that you would put on with a small group of friends or maybe just your sweetheart. You probably won't dance to it, but it will transport you to Bahia, at sunset: "As prias desertas continuam, esperando por nos dois . . . (The deserted beaches are still waiting for the two of us . . .)"
Brazilian Duos Poster
The lovely Brazilian vocalist Luciana Souza is the daughter of songwriters Walter Santos and Teresa Souza. She's best known to American jazz lovers through her thrilling work with pianist Danilo Perez and for her critically acclaimed recording The Poems of Elizabeth Bishop and Other Songs. On this CD, Souza's fluid and floral vocals, which swing on every Portuguese-language phrase, are backed by three alternating Brazil-born guitarists--Romero Lubambo, her father, and Marco Pereira on eight-string guitar--performing compositions by Luis Gonzaga, Edú Lobo, Jacó do Banbolim, Antonio Carlos Jobim, and Souza's parents. The combination of the plaintive and percussive guitar playing and Souza's sinewy voice is hard to beat. From the peppery "Baião Medley" and the bossa-nova-like "Doce de Coco" to the Afro syncopations of "Saudade da Bahia," Luciana Souza shows that when it comes to Brazilian music, less is more. --Eugene Holley, Jr.2001 album from the summery, sophisticated Brazilian jazz vocalist and Grammy Nominee. Digipak. Sunnyside Music.
