Description
|
|
|
|
Badi Assad's guitarist brother Sergio joins her on Jobim's "Estrada do Sol" and contributes a voice, guitar, and cello arrangement of "A Mundo é Um Moinho"; otherwise her phenomenal talents illuminate and dominate this gorgeous suite of Brazilian, American, and European pop tunes. "Assad's virtuosic guitar skills are … integral to the intricate arrangements … on this captivating recording. She kicks off her version of the Eurythmics' '80's hit 'Sweet Dreams' with a blazing solo ostinato riff that underpins the furious polyrhythms. On Tori Amos' 'Black Dove,' she surrounds her delicate, dreamy guitar work with various Brazilian percussion instruments to create a haunting soundscape that beautifully complements Amos' mysterious lyrics…. Assad does her best work on material rooted in the musical traditions of Brazil, as evident on the euphorically rhythmic opening track 'Acredite ou Não.'"—Acoustic Guitar
