Music reviews of Brazilian Lounge
Music Review: Bebel Gilberto and her clones
Rating: 4 Stars
Putumayo is renowned for their superb presentaions of world music in compilation form; this is another in a long line of fine discs from Putumayo. The samba and bossa nova sounds of Brazil are presented in their newest incarnations as lounge music which features ecentric-electro-beatz for the lounge music lover. The easy going rhythms are ideal music to chill to. This disc gives you a good overview of some of the things going on with the music from down Rio way. The carnival gets slowed down for some nice down tempo electronica mixed with the cool vocals in Portuguese. The ever sexy voice(she could sound good in any language) of Bebel Gilberto is featured on " August Day Song" for a sensual song remixed by King Britt. Many of the female vocalist sound very similar but that is a good thing if you like the warm earthy vocals of Bebel. There are jazzy numbers too that are bossa nova like "Previsao" by BossaCucaNova that features another Bebel clone in Adriana Calcanhotto. Other Bebel sound alikes are the soft undersated vocals of Mariana De Moraes as featured on "Como Vou Fazer" by Dois Irmaos, the barely distinguishable vocals of Marissa on "Saudade Fez Um Samba", Marcela on "Os Grilos" and Katia B on "Parece Mentira." Not everything is Girl from Ipananemaesque as Seau Jorge demonstrates on "Bia" that is a kind of a heavy vocals style mixed with light airy music for an interesting effect and "Aqua de Coco" by Marcos Valles. Pretty much everything else sounds very Bebelesque. This is a nice mix for discovering more talent that sounds like Bebel Gilberto. Recommended for lounge lizards basking on the beach or poolside with an umbrella drink or iced soy green tea.
Description of Brazilian Lounge
It is impossible to deny the influence that Brazil has on today?s global culture. From music and film to fashion and dance, Brazil has become one of the world?s most important resources of popular art and entertainment. Brazilian Lounge is a collection featuring the sultry voices and urban grooves of many of Brazil?s finest contemporary musicians.Brazilian Lounge will take the listener to the contemporary bars and lounges of Rio and Sao Paulo, where a new generation of musicians is reinvigorating the classic sounds of samba and bossa nova.Tri-lingual liner notes include a recipe for a caipirinha cocktail, provided by Sagatiba, enabling you to quench your thirst Brazilian style.
A portion of Putumayo's proceeds from the sale of this CD will be donated to Rukha, a non-profit organization working to change the current condition of street children in Brazil.
Putumayo's latest excursion into chill-out features twelve urbane tracks that, even at their most laid-back (and Brazilians have raised this state of being to an art form) are saturated with a languid, sweaty tropical ardor. Icy, metronome-like beats and electronica are powerless against a Carioca heat-wave, just as a cold Brahma cerveja (beer), while momentarily refreshing, cannot affect prevailing weather patterns. But the irrepressively creative mixmasters of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro seem to revel in these very incongruities, frosting florid acoustic sounds and warmly human vocals with subtle yet transformative computer-generated wizardry. Notable tracks include "E Depois" by singer/actor Seu Jorge (City Of God, The Life Aquatic With Steve Zizzou) and emerging star Luca Mundaca's "Há Dias." In Bebel Gilberto's "August Day Song," romance is compared to a drenching downpour; her slightly nostalgic style often evokes that of her father, sixties icon, João Gilberto. Additional reasons to purchase the album -- the trilingual liner notes offer a recipe for the national caipirinha cocktail and a portion of profits from the CD will be donated to Rukha, an organization dedicated to rescuing Brazil's street children. --Christina Roden
