The highly anticipated return of one of Brazil’s most revered singers.
-
We Say...
This tour-de-force double album captures the highly anticipated return of one of Brazil’s most revered singers and composers to the stage following a seven-year absence. Recorded at two performances in 2006 and 2007, Buarque, joined by an extended orchestra, focuses on songs from his superb 2006 studio album Carioca, a love letter to his Rio de Janeiro. He also devotes ample space to his vast oeuvre, a songbook that spans more than four decades and is packed with classics like “As Vitrines,” “Palavra de Mulher,” and “Ela É Dançarina.” This isn’t merely a live gig, but a true event with sophisticated arrangements, expert pacing and pitch-perfect singing that presents itself as the apotheosis of Brazilian art song — Buarque, after all, was probably the main architect of what’s come to be called MPB (musica popular brasileira).

They Say...
Chico Buarque is something of a hero of the arts in Brazil, where he is a tremendously popular and celebrated singer, songwriter, poet, and playwright, and is generally recognized as one of the formative influences on modern Brazilian pop music. Although he has released 26 albums at home and written more than a dozen film soundtracks, he rarely performs in the U.S., and this appears to be his first North American CD release. It's conceived as a tribute to his hometown of Rio de Janeiro, and consists of exquisitely gentle sambas, bossas, and other jazzy pop compositions, most of them featuring subtle but complex arrangements by his producer and collaborator, Luiz Cláudio Ramos. The sounds are almost all acoustic, though at times they sound electronic -- what sounds charmingly like a cheap Casio keyboard rhythm on "Subúrbio" is actually a very precisely tapped tambourine, for example. "Outros Sonhos" opens with some startlingly sophisticated and beautiful wind writing, which segues into a soft and regretful lyric. "Dura Na Queda" and "As Atrizes" both swing jazzily, and "Ode Aos Ratos" flirts with rock (and even features a sort of rap interlude). Only "Leve" and "Imagina," both of them just a little bit too melodically thin and rhythmically wimpy, fall short of brilliant. (The package includes a DVD documentary on the making of the album.) Recommended.
