Liner Notes (excerpt)
Margareth Menezes is one of Brazil's great new generation of singers, who has stolen the show on tour with Talking Head David Byrne. Her two contributions "Alegria da Cidade" and "Tenda do Amor" are the funkiest, most progressive of the cuts. Luiz Caldas, a charismatic figure somewhere between Michael Jackson and Bob Marley, plays a mean guitar and wears outrageously camp stage gear. Caetano Veloso was one of the most influential figures in Bahia's Tropicalismo movement in the 70s, a highly political poet, whose lilting bossa-nova-influenced "Meia Lua Inteira" is typically melodic. Elba Ramalho's outgoing nature is perfectly suited to the lasciviousness of lambada, and her two cuts here are sweetly infectious. The bandas Tomalira and Cheiro de Amor are rootsier outfits who go straight for the dance jugular, while Nonato do Cavaquinho play a mixture of hi-tech Antillean cadance music with a folky South American edge. — Rick Glanvill
