Title: Brilliant
Product review: Marisa Monte, Arnaldo Antunes and Carlinhos Brown are each great musicians in their own right, but the result when they collaborate together on this CD is nothing short of mindblowing. This is by far one of the best CDs of 2003. I haven't gone through the CD booklet in detail yet to get a rough translation of the lyrics, but you really don't need to understand what they're saying; the music is that infectious. While the bossa beat emerges from time to time, this is above all an intelligent pop record along the lines of Gil & Caetano's "Tropicalia 2"...It's heavily influenced by mid period Beatles(Revolver/Rubber Soul) yet very contemporary. Stone cold classic.
