Tanto Tempo»rank: 10242by: Bebel Gilberto
: 's Best of 2000:Her father may be the legendary Brazilian guitarist Joao Gilberto, but in 2000 daughter Bebel proved that she understands the bossa nova, too. There's a subtlety throughout this recording that makes Bebel's voice entrancing, as she re-creates the sensual essence of bossa nova before running with it into electronic territory toward the album's end. Tanto Tempo is an even-tempered statement that manages to showcase Bebel's own sexy voice while gracefully remembering the past. --Karen K. Hugg :Daughter of ... |

Samba Bossa Nova»rank: 3922by: Various Artists
: :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 ... |

: :An ltalian tenor in the tradition of the enormously popular Andrea Bocelli, Alessandro Safina has long been admired and championed in the Netherlands, though he's made light of by his native country. Now, with his American major label debut, a self-titled collection, Safina soars into the popera limelight, his darkly sensual vocals powerful, assured, and flat-out sexy. Melodically affecting in a manner oddly parallel to that of the Eminem/Dido vocal juxtaposition on 'Stan,' Safina opens with '0nly You (Luna),' wherein his ... |

Cê»rank: 4267by: Caetano Veloso
: :Caetano Veloso's Ce is as bold as it is beguiling. Friend, collaborator and label-mate David Byrne calls it 'an immersion in the land of experimental indie rock.' :The adventurous veteran rarely fails to surprise, as Caetano Veloso continues to confound the easy-listening expectations that surround Brazilian music.
