Brasileiro

Various Artists

Putumayo World Music, 2006

Ahhh...nice...
This has quickly become one of my favorite CDs. Great background music as I move through the day, and it has a wonderful way of settling me down in the evenings. I have not yet found a Putumayo sampler that hasn't made me happy! My son and I love the kids' ones with ...

Juliian Bream Ultimate Guitar Collection

Mateo Albeniz, Francis Cutting, ...

RCA, 1999

One well worth the price of two
This two cd set is an odd juxtaposition. The first cd consists of a sampler of Bream's career output - but without (and I believe the omission is disgraceful) any acknowledgement of Bream's significant contribution toward the creation of a truly 20th century concert ...

Cape Verde

Various Artists

Putumayo World Music, 1999

Very enjoyable...good intro to music from cape verde
I found this to be a most enjoyable CD. Its very rich in flavor that good international music has. Far from the 'hollowness' of some of the manufactured pop that we often get in the U.S. You'll find a wide variety of beats, good range of voices, and themes of course ...

Samba Bossa Nova

Various Artists

Putumayo World Music, 2002

Sweet set of new Brazilian music
The level of quality in Putumayo's world music samplers has been steadily rising over the last few years. The label scores another hit with this excellent collection of sleek modern balladeers and Brazilian pop innovators... Included are Da Lata, Rossa Passos, Jussara ...

Brazilian Groove

Various Artists

Putumayo World Music, 2003

Groovy
Do not drive when listening to this very "DANGEROUS! your focus will be on the energetic beat that some of the tracks have and the others kinda bossa novaish, so your feet will want to bossa instead of breakish! I really have enjoyed this.

Aire Latino: Latin American Music for Guitar

Agustin Barrios-Mangore, Jorge Cardoso, ...

Telarc, 2004

Thoughtful, Sensitive, and Skillful
This is a great performance for the very versatile David Russell. His playing is thoughtful and expressive, but also sensitive and not overly extraverted. His use of rubato is excellent on most tracks, and his constant contrast of dynamics, as well as vibrato, give ...

Villa-Lobos: Complete Music for Solo Guitar

Heitor Villa-Lobos, Norbert Kraft

Naxos, 2000

Different, but totally valid
I am most familiar with Bream's recordings of most of these works. Kraft takes the tempos generally faster, and his rubato is different. Considering Bream's recordings are among my favorite of all time, I think these stand up very well indeed. Technically almost ...

Brasileiro

Sergio Mendes

Elektra / Wea, 1992

The Best
I came across the CD accidentally and I love it. It is Timeless and shows the bridge between the African and South American continents. Powerful drumming and great ENERGY!!! Highly recommended

Cairo to Casablanca

Putumayo World Music, 1998

Excellent Compilation
I was looking for a compliation of this exact geographic area and this CD hits the spot. Excellent combination - well done!

The Art of Pepe Romero: Guitar Favorites

Isaac Albeniz, Anonymous, ...

Philips, 2005

The Music Evokes Feelings of Joy and Comfort
Listening to this album gives me the feeling of being three years old and starting to fall asleep after dinner and my father picking me up and carrying me to bed. I cannot describe how his music envelopes me-- I do not know why but every time I hear it I start to tear ...

La Paloma, Spanish And Latin American Favourites

Agustin Barrios-Mangore, Leo Brouwer, ...

Polygram Records, 1991

My favorite Pepe Romero disc...
This CD is just incredible. Mr. Romero's flawless technique and sensitivity are ever-present. The music is some of the most spectacular that the guitar has to offer. This CD is not, however, worth $80. You can find this CD. Not here on Amazon, but it's around. ...

Baby Needs Guitar

Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Delos Records, 2002

Cardiologist and Poet Recommended.
I got this CD as a gift for my 21st birthday and it is wonderful. It is delightful and dozy, complete with recommendation by Cardiologist and Poet, what more could a person ask for?!! Granted, some tracks almost put me to sleep... BABY NEEDS MORE!!!!

Brasileiro

Various Artists

Putumayo World Music, 1999

A cute brazilian blend
I have a little more than a year learning portuguese and I love the brazilian culture: the food, the folklore and the music. Brasileiro is a good CD for those who wants to introduce theirselves to the exotic and sensual rythm of the samba, the MPB, the forró and the ...
