| “ | “I love this music. The first time I heard it I knew I had to buy it. This is a medley of the most popular italian songs from the early 80 to 85. Al Bano and Romina Power's "Felicita" is indeed a classic that opens the CD quite appropriately. This CD saves you money that you will spend to buy the best songs for each singer, maybe six or seven CDs." (Customer reviews, Amazon.com) | ” |
| “ | “Reissued 1997 compilation. This is the sound of Italy. Forty tracks of the best Italian pop from the Sixties and Seventies are packed in this lively 2CD set which includes many of the legendary Italian artists such as Adriano Celentano, Umberto Tozzi, Raffaella Carra and Patty Pravo. Some of the most memorable highlights of their hugely popular output is featured on this sun drenched, fun packed collection of ballads, novelties, dance hits and the kind of sing along anthems that the Italians provided for our delight during the last decades of the 20th century.

The music on this CD cannot help but bring you up no matter what your mood is. „Carcara“ rocks one can't help but to shake your shoulders and move your feet and „Up from the sea it rose“ will make think of hot latin tropical nights. Its all good real good a must for anyone new to latin jazz. (Customer review, Amazon.com) | ” |
| “ | “Bossa Nova Gold is an excellent compilation double CD of various wizards of Bossa Nova. It contains songs usually left off of other compilations and includes many of my favorite artists and their songs, like Gal Costa's smooth Bem Bom and Baden Powell and Caetano. But you will be disappointed if you uexpect to hear Elis Regina or Leila Pinheiro... The styles are everything from Bossa Nova, Samba, Tropicalismo and MPB - what is neat about this CD is that you can get a vivid sense of the many different styles of music in Brasil and how the music in Brasil sort of is like a spider web, from one sound leading into the other and etc. Featured artists are Caetano Veloso, Ivan Lins, Astrud Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim with Miucha, Chico Buarque, Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa, Milton Nascimento, Baden Powell, Maria Bethania, Gal Costa, Joyce, Edu Lobo and many many more.

| “ | “This great introduction to Bossa Nova couldn't be a better value-for-money. Sampling from each of the major trends in the genre, _Bossa Nova Brasil_ will turn the mildest curiosity in the rhythms into a genuine interest. This is great I-just-got-off-work-and-I've-got-a-date-in-an-hour music. Put it on in your car to unwind and enjoy the ride. Or throw open your windows on a spring day and celebrate the change of seasons. Or share it with someone you love to dance embarrassingly unwell with. Whatever you do, though, give bossa nova a try, and trust that this collection will be an excellent way to start. (Customer review, Amazon.com) | ” |
| “ | “A nice, varying mix of more current songs - as if you have turned on a radio in Rio de Janeiro and changed from station to station (to an extent). But better mixtures exist and I would recommend buying original albums by the featured artists... A good selection of current trends in the music scene of Brasil. Good for all ages that enjoy the variety and versatility of good music from the big country in South America. (Customer reviews, Amazon.com) | ” |
| “ | “Happily, Byrne followed up with this equally revelatory collection of contemporary samba, this time featuring singers even more obscure to North American ears. The highly percussive samba is Brasil's national music, at times furiously rhythmic yet still capable of sustaining a rich songwriting tradition. As befits a "peoples" music (which reaches a yearly apotheosis in the wildly competitive samba schools of Carnaval), the melodies are tougher, the lyrics earthier than the romantic pop music that people usually associate with this most musical of nations. Once more we must thank David Byrne for introducing us to great singers like Clara Nunes, reigning samba queen till her untimely death in 1983, as well as the equally celebrated Beth Carvalho and Martinho Da Vila.” www.cduniverse.com | ” |
| “ | “Ten years after Beleza Tropical Volume 1 turned the world on to the popular music of Brazil (MPB), along comes volume 2 to bring us up to date. The first volume did a great job covering the 1960s and '70s; volume 2 does an equally impressive job in focusing on the late '80s and the '90s. The MPB scene is as vibrant as ever. Elder voices of the movement like Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, and Sergio Mendes have recently put out some of the best work of their careers, and you'll find wonderful examples of that here. The new generation of MPB stars are also amply represented – Marisa Monte, Daniela Mercury, the late Chico Science, Moleque de Rua, Os Paralamas Do Successo, and others all contribute excellent work. The songs incorporate the technological changes of the past decade and meld elements of rock, jazz, funk, reggae, and African music with the rich traditions of Brazil. The result is music that is coherent, edgy, and creatively compelling. This compilation is very well sequenced, so that it doesn't sound like a hodgepodge of styles, but instead flows flawlessly from tune to tune. Jeff Grubb (Editorial Review, Amazon.com) | ” |
