Again, another CD only available as an import, this Brazilian female Trio (accompanied by special guests) sings, we would presume, in Portugese, though it seems that at least one of the tracks is in Spanish, and 'La Vie En Rose' is in French. Cosmopolitan, no? Employing reknowned Brazilian musicians and songwriters such as Gilberto Gil, Ivan Lins and Djavan (who also worked with the Manhattan Transfer on their 'Brasil' CD), their sound melds adult contemporary pop and jazz. Occasionally accompanied ('Coisa Feita' has flamenco guitar, as an example), many of the nineteen songs are uptempo; when the pace slows, as it does on 'Rua Ramalhate,' with its reverberated vocal sound and dynamic shifts, the momentum only increases. Their intonation and blend is tight and in-the-pocket, without a hair out of place. This Trio will add a welcome zest to your collection.
