The depth, artistry and diversity of sound on this album
combine to make this the best of all single-composer compilations that I know
of. Beginning with Antonio Carlos Jobim's throaty and slightly out-of-tune voice
singing his somewhat modified lyrics for "Na Batucada da Vida" the collection
immediately follows with two radically different "voz e violão" numbers--Gal
Costa sings a haunting "No Rancho Fundo" with the accompaniment of what sounds
to me like a seven-string guitar, then João Bosco and Daniela Mercury pair up
for the absolutely hippest "No Tabuleiro da Baiana" imagineable. And it just
goes on with gem after gem, climaxing with Monarco's "Eu Nasci no Morro" in his
classic "Voz do samba" style. If you know Ary Barroso as the composer of Carmen
Miranda hits, this album will stun you with how perfectly his songs fit the
contemporary sounds of so many performance styles. To anyone unfamiliar with
Barroso specifically but with some knowledge of or interest in Brazilian music,
it will come as a surprise how early he came in the chronology--his musical
genius was simultaneously well-received during his own time and also way ahead
of its time in melodic and rhythmic innovation. --an
