Summary: Brazil here I come!!!
Comment: I looooove all the Putamayo compilations, I think they have great pros who are able to put together cool, smooth sounds of artists that sometimes are forgotten in time, or never made it to mass-distribution. This one is no different and makes me want to jump on the first plane down to Rio de Janeiro!!
I own several CDs of their large collection, but I'm always looking for more. I think these CDs also make a great gift for just about anyone who enjoys to have friends over, these make great chill-out background music.

Summary: Beautiful Exotic Beats Rhythms and Harmony
Comment: I was and am a Bossa Nova Neophyte. In May of this year my friend took me to D.C. for my Birthday...in Adams Morgan we ended up in a little club called Bossa Nova....loved the music not to mention the mojitos....I came to this site to find him a little thank you gift and after reading the reviews I chose this CD! I popped it on my iPod and we both love it! I surly cannot give a critique as knowledgable as so many others, however my favorites are Deusa Do Amor, Corres, Preto Cor Preta and Eu E O meu Amor....I cannot see how anyone could be dissapointed.

Summary: Absolutely wonderful
Comment: This instantly became one of my all-time favorite CDs. Like other reviewers, it makes me think of summer.... warm breezes, happy afternoon naps in the hammock, a long walk in the moonlight. I usually combine this with a little Brasil '66 and it's perfect, just perfect. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Buy it, without hesitation.

Summary: Sweet set of new Brazilian music
Comment: The level of quality in Putumayo's world music samplers has been steadily rising over the last few years. The label scores another hit with this excellent collection of sleek modern balladeers and Brazilian pop innovators... Included are Da Lata, Rossa Passos, Jussara Silveira, Rita Ribero, and my personal hero, Moreno Veloso (the son of the great Caetano Veloso). There are also several less well known artists on here, but the level of quality is consistently very high. This is a really nice, really listenable album... Highly recommended for anyone who wants to check out some more recent Brazilian material. (This review originally posted in 2002)

Editorial Reviews:

This eclectic compilation shows the syncopated and seductive evolution of the African-derived Brazilian samba and its offspring, the bossa nova. The CD features a new-wave series of moods and grooves tailor-made for the 21st century. There's angel-voiced Rosa Passos and her silky version of the Ary Barroso/Luiz Peixoto song "E Luxo So." Guitarist-vocalist Márcio Faraco's remake of Noel Rosa's samba-canção "Feitiço da Vila" is just as tasteful. The elegant, classically tinged Quarteto Jobim-Morelenbaum, led by cellist Jacques Morelenbaum, skillfully mixes Ravel-like harmonies with Afro-Brazilian beats on "Eu e o Meu Amor/Lamento No Morro" from the film Black Orpheus. The London-based group Da Lata swings the sacred syncopations of "Cores" in a club-friendly, secular rendition. And the talented Moreno Veloso, son of the great Caetano Veloso, turns in an intimate and atmospheric version of Olodum's "Deusa do Amor" (Goddess of Love). These tracks show that the bossa nova and the samba can still give us new musical surprises. --Eugene Holley Jr.
