Brazilian music has a lot in common with jazz. Exotic rhythms, beautiful melodies, and an exuberant feeling of freedom. This recording contains some beautiful "fados" (closer to mellow jazz love ballads),as well as more traditional Brazilian music. It conveys a latent sense of melancholy and nostalgia for a person, a place, or an era. It is sensitive and impregnated with soulful melodies, but not saccharine; just the right amount of sweetness to convey a deep sense of longing. Gabe Meruelo.
