On her third album, Vania Abreu, the sister of the more famous Daniela Mercury, makes a strong claim for inclusion among the top singers in MPB, the Brazilian popular music. A tribute to her native Bahia region, it's melodic, a set that sways as only Brazilian music can, from the sizzle of "Mais de Mim" to the sensual samba of "Conto de Areia." While it's her voice with its happy quality that carries the music, the arrangements that frame the material are never cluttered, and put her in marvelously sympathetic settings. Like fellow Bahian Maria Bethiana, Abreu is a vocalist who can put her own unique stamp on a song, but this is a new generation, far removed from the Tropicalia movement of the '60s. Abreu has a very personal vision to her music, quite rooted in Bahia, with its soulful influences from singers such as Margareth Menezes, but its face is turned firmly toward the new century. --Chris Nickson

Gorgeous Album.......2004-09-01

I'm also a huge fan of Daniela Mercury's and was surprised to learn that her younger sister sang as well. She sings in a completely different style as her older sister, Daniela. I've read in an online magazine that Vania's musical style favors the "samba da cancao" genre of music.

In my opinion, Vania's a better vocalist than her older sister. Her ability to control her voice is stunning. Like her older sister, Daniela, it is extremely joyful. Strangely enough, her style of music and her warm voice reminds me of summer days clear blue sunshine filled skies lounging around the pool and sipping an ice cold lemonade.

My favorites off the album are "Maim de Mim," "Seio da Bahia," a very happy tune, "Anjo da Velha Guarda," (Angel of the Old Guard) "Conto da Areia," (Sand Story?) Her remake of Clara Nunes' "Conto da Areia," was done better, in my opinion than Clara's original version. To top even one of Brazil's best samba singers is a feat. To be honest, although I like Marisa Monte's sweet voice, I think that Vania rivals even Marisa's. If you want to hear Vania's exceptional vocal ability at her voice at her best listen to "Voz Guia," (The Voice Guides.) I play this CD often! Vania's voice is pure alegria!
