Bossa Nova Music

This famous trio has established a real landmark in Brazil This ensemble is composed according the classical formation of a Jazz trio: Piano (Amilton Godoy) , Acoustic Bass (Luiz Chaves) and Drums (Rubens Barsoti).

Their performances are filled with this well known joy of living and sensuality so typical of the Brazilian soul.

Samba Dorado is one the best tracks of the album, composed by the talented author and singer Djavan. In Aquarela do Brasil , we find the famous piece Brazil used as musical curtain in the homonymous film of Terry Gilliam, composed by Ary Barroso. We find besides, a posthumous homage to Piazzola (Ao Piazzolla). We come at last to the most interesting theme of the CD: Beatriz composed by this legendary musician Chico Buarque.
Finally, the delicate and lovable Love theme of Gabriela , that famous film starred by Sonia Braga and Marcello Mastroianni, composed by the giant Antonio Carlos Jobim.

Wow!!! This is another fascinating success in Emilio's long career, and this one is totally in almost-perfect Spanish (with two Bonus tracks in Portuguese : Minha Namorada by (Carlitos Lyra) and Anos Dourados by (Antonio Carlos Jobim, Chico Buarque).
His golden voice soares throughout the album, making this a very enjoyable one. Not a single weak song.

Finally, is important to mention that:
Luiz Avellar / plays the keyboards and makes the arrangements
Roberto Menescal / plays the guitars and produces the album
and his son
Marcio Menescal(BossaCucaNova member)recorded and mixed the album.

Very recommendable for all Emilio Santiago fans !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every time you play this album, the exhuberant music screams Brasil!!!
You can picture yourself walking on Ipanema beach singing Mas Que Nada.
This is your typical Sergio Mendes album (which by typical I mean superb), full of percussions, keyboards, vocal assemblies, and that ability to encapsule what Brasil is in a simple disc.

Don't miss out on this "now classic" album by one of the best musical embassadors that Brasil's ever given.
Classics like (Mas Que Nada),(The Island - song that inspired Barbara Streisand to also perform Ivan Lins' song), (Night Life) and (Cinnamon and Clove) aired heaviliy during the late 80's and early 90's, and the music still sounds so fresh like it was recorded this year.
