Amazon.com essential recording
With a temperamental personality and crystalline voice, Elis Regina became a beloved national symbol of Brazil in the early 1960s when she was 21 years old. She sang with the clarity of glass in a naturally risqué tone that spilled forth with little effort, a reposed style shared by Astrud Gilberto. Though she sang much music unrelated to the bossa nova, her best-known albums include the legendary collaboration with Antonio Carlos Jobim, Elis & Tom, as well as this collection in the Personalidade series. Oozing with samba rhythms and bossa nova sensuality, Elis takes listeners to the lounges of Brazil with such classics as "Aguas de Marco" and "Triste." Regina is intimately romantic and charismatically mysterious, and early into the album it's easy to see how an entire country could fall in love with her. She even escaped the political exile suffered by other artists during Brazil's rigid military rule in the 1960s. Tragically, though, the singer died from a cocaine overdose in 1982. This compilation serves as a lovely remembrance of the magnetic singer who set Brazilian hearts on fire. --Karen K. HuggCustomer Reviews:
Wonderful, Sizzling Elis Regina Performances........2004-08-05
This CD is simply wonderful and loaded with 'Pieces D'Resistance'. From the joyful "Voce" (taken from the amazing CD "Aquarela do Brasil" with Toots Thielemans in 1969); to the definitive "Madalena", complete with strings and 'whistlers'; to Milton's "Nada Sera Como Antes", chalk up yet another Five Star winner. And don't miss her outstanding performances of Jobim staples "Triste" (from "Elis & Tom") and the sizzling version of "Aguas De Marco" is without Jobim. "Mucuripe" is amazingly beautiful, as is the show stopper "Como Nos Pais" (Like Our Parents).
"Atras Da Porta" (Behind the Door) is the mesmerizing original version, where Elis hums the unwritten Chico Buarque final verse from the unfinished manuscript. It's hauntingly beautiful and Elis infuses it with so much overpowering emotion. Small wonder it sets the standard for all of the following attempts by other singers who do sing a final verse.
Two more gems are the breezy "Me Deixa Em Paz" (~I'm Left At Peace), tightly arranged and deftly performed faster than the version on Milton's "Clube da Esquina" CD, and the awesome, crystalline beauty of "Dois Pra La, Dois Pra Ca" with Elis obviously enjoying and joining the wonderful background vocal group. This is Elis at her wonderful best and each song is a winner.
Ella Fitzgerald, a music legend herself, liked Elis' artistry. And Elis' awesomely talented singing daughter, Maria Rita, is influenced mainly by Ella: and so the artistic wheel goes 'round and 'round. If you love Elis and Ella, you'll love the triple Grammy winning CD "Maria Rita".
BTW, "Romaria" and the uptempo "Vou Deitar E Rolar", with the familiar "Quaquaraquaqua" verse, are bonus songs, not found on the original Philips vinyl LP. This CD also overlaps alot with the import "Perfil". Buy and enjoy this wonderful recollection. Five Stars!

Muy Triste (Very Sad).......2006-10-25
Well, I don't even have to tell you what happened, do I? I haven't seen that person or that CD in months, but I remember when I did have this CD, it was like Love at First Listen and that is unusual for a CD to take that strong of a hold on me on the first take. Usually I listen to an album three or four times and I "swirl" each song in my head and decide whether or not I like it, but with this one, I was able to unwrap the CD, put it in the stereo, sit back, and melt. I've never heard such gorgeous music in my whole life.
I don't know what genre this is classified as. Latin? Jazz? Latin Jazz? I really can't nor do I want to "peg" this recording. It almost seems kind of unfair to brand it and put it into a category. Let's just say that if you did manage to listen to all the samples without taking out your credit card and giving amazon your information, you're a pretty strong individual because I knew even before I had the CD in my hands that I had to have it.
And now it's gone and now I'm sad, but like with former lovers, sometimes the parting is just bittersweet. Yeah, I know I'm being melodramatic, but hey, this is my drama, okay?
Geesh.
So if you're reading this Mr. Sticky Fingers, and you know who you are, I hope you know that you brought a 6'1", 205lb man to tears. Just leave it on my doorstep and I won't ask any questions....
Sigh...
I'm gonna have to buy this again, huh?
Oh, well....
Peace & Blessings.

Caetano Veloso has been a force in Brazilian pop music since the '60s, a singer-songwriter who combines gentle sonorities and pointed political messages with Bahia roots and light pop textures. Along with Gilberto Gil and Gal Costa, Veloso fueled the tropicalia movement that resulted, for a time, in exile to London, where he began to reach an international audience and provided a spark to the World Music movement. This 1987 compilation touches on many of Veloso's moods, from the delicately wistful "Chuvas de Verao" to the cynical "Sampa" and the frothy animation of Gilberto Gil's "Soy Loco por Ti, America." His performance of Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Eu Sei Que Vou Te Amar" seems to restore the bossa nova to its folk roots, while "Podres Poderes" propels its message with an odd mix of off beats and distorted guitar. --Stuart BroomerCustomer Reviews:

This collection of classic bossa nova spotlights the partnership of Brazilian poet and lyricist Vinícius de Moraes with guitarist Toquinho. Full of rich, warm bossa nova, this CD spans the classic bossa nova complete with female backup singers, softened production, and organ. The flute floats luxuriously in and out of these tunes, transporting one to the beaches of Rio while the steady, Bahian-rooted samba rhythms pulse throughout. There's no great voice like João Gilberto here, but plenty of sensual, seductive bossa nova by two key innovators of the movement. --Karen K. HuggCustomer Reviews:
Vinicius would be turning in his grave..........2001-04-13
I have to admit that I didn't particularly like this compilation at first (thought it was sort of boring to be honest), and though it has really grown on me, I still find it to be sort of strange in that it seems only to cover th period in the mid-70s, and neglects all the best stuff from their earlier period, when Vinicius and Toquinho were playing with Maria Creuza and Marilia Medalha. In fact, many of the songs are later, alternate versions of songs recorded earlier such as "Como Dizia O Poeta," "Samba de Bencao," "Maria Vai com as Outras," etc... and are incorporated into these medlies which they refer to as "Pot-Pourris." These versions are still good, but they are not the best versions in my opinion. The older versions with the aforementioned Maria Creuza and Marilia Medalha are not available in the US, but you might be able to get some of the songs on other Vinicius and Toquinho compilations like the "Best of Brazil" series that I've seen in some stores here.
The other strike against this album is that it is omitting a crucial song which was recorded during the time this compilation covers, "Carta Ao Tom 1974."
That said, Vinicius and Toquinho are absolutely on my top-tier of favorite musicians, so their second-rate material still beats most people's best. If you know where to look, you can find tons of albums with one or both of them joining up with Quarteto em Cy, Maria Bethania, Jorge Ben, Odette Lara, and probably many other wonderful Brazilian artists.
Also check out the album they made with Ornella Vanoni in Italian. Aside from the language part (and there's nothing wrong with Italian believe me!), that's pretty much what the rest of their early material sounds like.
