One hell of a Latin Jazz outing,
skillfully constructed by the master himself Naná Vasconcelos who is joined by an
equally impressive team of players and choral singers. Within minutes the
listener is transported to new realm of joy and excitement. It’s not as serious
as his other ECM sides; it is as the following reviewer puts it simply fun.
It's like being in the rain jungle with a bunch of
good friends who don't speak English, or any language I know of, who just want
to have a party. It's fun! The second track is the absolute best. I love it, I
love it, I love it!!!!! I forget the name of it offhand but if you had a 30
second taste of it, you'd buy the CD no problem. ~ Raven, Amazon.com.
