Music reviews of Quanta Live
Music Review: ~~~~~~~~ 10 Stars ~~~~~~~~~
Rating: 5 Stars
This album is not only a great follow-up to Quanta, but also a great live rendition to some of his gems from different albums like songs: Refavela, Palco, Copacabana; etc. etc.
Here we have a great spectrum of what this amazing musician can play; Samba, MPB, Brazilian Jazz, Reggae, etc. Music with a high quality standard regardless to his age.
Finally, check some of his famous guests for this amazing tour/CD.:
1.) Celso Fonseca on guitars (a great soloist and ex-Caetano's band member).
2.) Arturzinho Maia on bass (a member of Brazilian Jazz Group Cama de Gato).
3.) Raulzinho Mascarenhas on sax and flutes (also another brilliant soloist), and ...
4.) Paulinho Calasans on keyboards (a Djavan's band member in several ocassions).
Pick it up while it lasts............
Description of Quanta Live
Brazilian singer/songwriter Gilberto Gil is a thoughtful pop star. He has long been concerned with issues such as cultural cannibalism (in the late '60s, with fellow singer/songwriter Caetano Veloso he founded Tropicalia, an influential artistic and intellectual movement); technology (Parabolic, 1992); and science (Quanta, 1997). Such concerns might seem a tad unwieldy for pop songwriting but Gil has put his ideas across while creating very entertaining, down to earth music, mixing Brazilian rhythms such as sambas, baiaos, and afoxes with funk, reggae, and rock & roll. In Quanta Live, Gil reaches back to some of his old hits (the irresistible "Palco," "Refavela"), revisits a couple of Bob Marley classics ("Is this Love," "Stir It Up"), and works out his most recent songs with casual efficiency. Throughout, his singing is rich in nuance--sometimes lighthearted and at other times sharply pointed--and the playing crisp. Who said singing about meaningful issues can't be fun? --Fernando GonzalezGeneral CDs
