This is Rosa Passos’ third album and represented the first exclusive release in CD format by a singer in Brazil. Here she delivers with acknowledged competence her delicate and at the same time swinging style. Her small voice’s splendid intonation is tailored to the interpretation of charming hits by Tom Jobim (“Fotografia,” “Dindi,” “A Felicidade,” “Só Danço Samba,” “O Nosso Amor”), Johnny Alf (“Ilusão Á Toa”), Carlos Lyra/Vinícius de Moraes (“Coisa Mais Linda”), Ary Barroso, Djavan, and other important composers. Also an arranger, she signed most of the excellent band’s parts, with the renowned orchestrator Waltel Branco writing the string arrangements. – Alvaro Neder
