Wonderful CD to Own! Great Listening Experience!.......2006-11-07

I LOVE this CD! I listen it to it incessantly, especially when I am driving. This is the BEST music to listen to! You will not be disappointed if you purchase this CD. The jazzy, uptempo Brazillan beats will have toes tapping and heads bobbing!

Outstanding.......2006-04-24

This is one of the first Brazilian compilations I found to have many great tunes to listen to. Highly recommend it! Nu Jazz Brasilia is another one I recommend.

Just Goes To Show...Don't Ever Judge A CD By Its Cover.......2004-03-28

I'll tell you. This CD really puts truth to the saying "don't judge a book (rather CD - in this case) by it's cover". I was contemplating whether or not to buy this album over another one because the album just looks so odd and unappealing. But I do remember that some of the best albums in my collection that were hidden jewels, had strange covers that were not very enticing. So in other words don't let a cover fool you. The music on here was pretty good. Maybe 1 or 2 of the tracks seemed monotenous and sounded similar to each other, but the others songs were pretty original and enjoyable. This album uses a lot of futuristic "space age" sounds. So that means....Lots of synthesizers, computer effects, etc. This is also a pretty relaxing CD. Just like the title suggests, Cafe Samba will remind you of music you would hear in a trendy, hip, cafe somewhere in Tokyo, Rio, Paris, London, or New York. Definitely worthwhile to check this album out if you like ambient, modern, electronic, Brazilian music.

Boa Vinda A Brasil.......2003-08-03

Found this one at a local record shop and haven't stopped listening to it since I unwrapped it. There are a lot of New Brazil/Latin compilations out now and sometimes it is difficult to see which are the best. But after listening to this... What a terrific compilation this is!

What strikes me about this CD is that it feels so much more... Brazilian than many of the other comps out there. The sound, the charm and the element that makes the music Brasil. But don't get me wrong - the Italian bossa side will make you wonder "Is this the Meditteranean, or am I in one of the Copacabana beaches?" And the artists included here are terrific - and well known for the genres. Cuts to take notice with are by Camiel, a full version of the 12" Sepia remake of "So Tinha De Ser Com Voce", Soul Bossa Trio, Topaz, Italian Secret Service, Nicola Conte, Les Hommes and more. Check out the tracks here:

Time Passing - Dombossa
Latin Vibe - Um Beijo Na Boca
Jazzelicious - Sambossa
Camiel - El Alba
Barriere - Seducao
Sepia - So Tinha De Ser Com Voce
Soul Bossa Trio - Cascade of the Seven Waterfalls
Topaz - Corcovado
Italizn Secret Service - Drummer Boy
'J-Radical - Buweyah
Riolistic - Felicidade
Nicola Conte - Il Cerchio Rosso
Del Gaudio, Rossi & D'Angelo - Segundo
Les Hommes - Hommage
Latin Vibe - Sunset on Ipanema Beach

The only reason this didn't get the five star rating is because you can tell that a few cuts were taken from mixed compilations elsewhere (see Brazil Re-Mixed bur Buweyah and Sister Bossa vol. 2 for a couple of others). But if you're looking for that perfect CD for the summer, to pop in while on the beach or having a drink with a romantic, this is what you want. And FYI - this is the same label that brought you "Cafe Roma" and "Jazz Lounge", etc.

A Great Choro CD.......2004-02-14

First a warning to those of you who are shopping for Brazilian music with the impression of Carnaval and samba beats....The style of music on this CD is called "choro". It's a more traditional style of Brazilian music and sounds different from samba, bossa nova or any of the other styles that many non-Brazilians associate as being Brazilian music. However with that in mind, you must still check this CD out! I've always been a big fan of choro music since I was a child listening to it, and it's taken me years to find a good compilation like this one. If you are a big fan of Brazilian music like bossa nova and samba, you will not be disappointed by choro (especially THIS choro album in particular)!

Brilliant instrumental tracks, dodgy vocals.......2003-03-28

The best way to appreciate this album, and to get the right perspective on the choro genre, is to set your cd player to skip all the vocal tracks. Don't get me wrong, most of the vocal tracks are fair to excellent, but they totally destroy the flow. Choro is essentially instrumental in character and the producers of this album as well as the follow up Cafe 2 should let the public appreciate on their own merits one of the best bands on the planet, the awesome Epoca de Ouro, Brazil's very own Funk Brothers.

A very good introduction to choro.......2001-06-30

This anthology is a fine introduction to choro and includes some well-known classics from Ernesto Nazareth, Pixiguinha, Jacob do Bandolim, and so on. Whether you are curious but unfamiliar or are a true aficionado, I would recommend this disk. Overall the playing is very good; the singing is somewhat hit-and-miss for me, however, which is about the only reason I can't quite give it 5 stars. Martinho da Vila's new recording of his own "Choro Chorao" is a lot different from the original version -- I like it alright, but it is different. If you get this disk and like it, you really have to get Jacob do Bandolim. (Which is 5+ stars by comparison.) The closing number, played by Jacob's group, is really superb -- pure choro -- you'll think you've died and gone to choro heaven. I hope you enjoy this disk if you get it, but I hope it's only the beginning for you if you are new to this genre.

Sophomore Slump.......2005-03-17

Summer 2003 was a great year for compilations. Brazilution, Brazil After Dark, Sister Bossa 4, Nova Latino and several others came out. But of those that came out, Sunswept/Varese put out a real gem titled "Cafe Samba" which featured some unique and very smooth cuts. Granted 75% of the cuts on that one were taken from a combo of Sister Bossa series/Brazilution/Brazil Remixed, it was still a good cd. 2004 saw the follow up to the cd come out and it flew under the radar of many. In fact, I remember picking it up in August but lost it two days later, only to find it a couple of days ago in a random jewel case. Not a good sign.

In my opinion, this was a capable competitor but it just didn't have the same originality or 'magic' that the first one did and left you thinking 'meh'. It starts out with a more melancholic "Maracana" and is followed up with Thievery Corporation's "Samba Tranquilla". The good songs were the ones that weren't so popular yet - you get a taste for BossaCucaNova's busy 2004 with "Ultra Samba", a very nice beat. Barrio Jazz gang's "Copacabasa" is also sorta funky too. Unfortunately there's quite a bit of filler there and some of the songs, even the more upbeat ones just didn't seem particularly inspired to me and was like a forced Brazilian ambiance. Panaphonic is one of those groups that I never got into, even on Varese records Jazz Lounge II cd. And let's face it, Nicola Conte's "Bossa Per Due" is almost an eye-sore now on any nu-bossa compilation. And Racoon's "Sensacao" is a song that either you love or you hate, but I didn't like that it was chopped in the beginning, giving it an unusual flow. But "Sabor Antibe" by Time Passing is a solid wind-down to this solid but un-remarkable cd.

I'm having trouble recommending this because there were plenty of superior alternatives in 2004. It gets 2 stars mainly because it has a few cuts you don't see on other compilations. You don't have the "Latin Vibe" tracks that were sorta cute in the first one and you don't have the cool Italian bossa that take you to the beach and remind you of the sunshine, like "Segundo". Heck... it had yet ANOTHER of the songs from Brazil: Remixed on it with what's IMO an eerily soul-less interpretation of "One is the Lonliest Number". I'd recommend Nova Latino 4 and Brazilectro 6 instead of this. But if you do like this, you might also like Frequent Flyer: Brazil... although I must admit I hated that compilation.
