Felicidade.......2007-05-05

Excellent! Polished yet relaxed and fun. Top notch musical performances all around. Ivan Lins at his best.

A JOYOUS CELEBRATION - THE 2005 LATIN GRAMMY ALBUM OF THE YEAR.......2005-12-12

Five BEAUTIFUL Stars! Ivan Lins is Wonderful!! "Cantando Historias" ("Singing Stories") is a brilliant CD collection of updated Lins' classics. This world famous Brazilian composer, singer, and pianist continues to grow in stature and success a full three decades after his start. This electrifying CD, recorded live in Rio De Janeiro, is an instrumental and vocal gem that drops us in the middle of an enthusiastic audience that can't help singing along. Singing complete verses, no less.

The CD was the surprise of the 2005 Latin Grammy Awards, taking the overall "Album of the Year", a first for a Portuguese singing artist. It also won the "MPB Album" Latin Grammy. The singing is in wonderful Portuguese, but the beautiful, powerful music will sweep you away without the need for translation. I speak no Portuguese and I love this music. There are also special guests on this CD: a smoldering performance by Simone (sporting a fetching short hairdo as seen on the CD insert), Jorge Vercilo in great form, and the elegant Zizi Possi, who add their special flair to this live performance.

My favorites, 'Pieces D'Resistance', are the joyous CD opener "Abre Alas" (Clear The Area), the beautiful gentle samba "Porta Entreaberta" (The Half-Opened Gate), Zizi Possi in duet with Ivan on the heartfelt "Bilhete" (Ticket), and the senusous Simone/Lins duet on "Comecar de Novo" (New Beginning, aka The Island). In addition, "Guarde nos Olhos" with Lins and Jorge Vercilo is spellbinding, as are classics "Madalena", "Dinorah, Dinorah", "O Tempo Me Guardou Voce" and a rocking "Ai, Ai, Ai, Ai, Ai". Five HUGE Stars!!

For new fans, Ivan is known outside of Brazil chiefly for a slew of his famous compositions which have attracted major artists, including the Grammy winning song "Velas" ('Sails'), which was beautifully recorded by Quincy Jones with Toots Thielemans; "Love Dance" (Lembranca) by Dianne Schurr and Vanessa Williams, "Before It's Too Late" (Antes Que Seja Tarde) by the Manhattan Transfer, "The Island" (Comecar de Novo) by Sarah Vaughn and Barbra Streisand, the huge Elis Regina hit "Madalena" which Ella Fitzgerald fell in love with and recorded, "She Walks This Earth" (Soberana Rosa) by Sting, and "Dinorah, Dinorah", which was recorded by jazz man George Benson and Elis Regina. Whew!!

(Note: "Guarde nos Olhos" and "Desesperar Jamais" (Never Despair) are not shown in the Track Listing, but they are on the CD as Track 2 and 5, respectively. The songs "Aos Nossos Filhos" (To Our Children") & "Cartomante" are merged on Track 6; "Vieste" (You Came) & "Iluminados" (Illuminated) are merged on Track 10. All of which yields 14 great tracks. Enjoy!)
