Woman on Top

Woman on Top Woman on Top pretends to be your standard fish-out-of-water romantic comedy laced with touches of magic realism. When you break it down and look at its elements, however, it turns out to be different than most, which is good. Hot Spanish star Penélope Cruz (All About My Mother...	Bossa Nova Brasil	Bossa Nova for Lovers	Samba Bossa Nova This eclectic compilation shows the syncopated and seductive evolution of the African-derived Brazilian samba and its offspring, the bossa nova. The CD features a new-wave series of moods and grooves tailor-made for the 21st century. There's angel-voiced Rosa Passos and her s...	Getz/Gilberto Originally released in March 1964, this collaboration between saxophonist Stan Getz and guitarist João Gilberto came at seemingly the end of the bossa nova craze Getz himself had sparked in 1962 with Jazz Samba, his release with American guitarist Charlie Byrd. Jazz Samba remain...
Next Stop Wonderland: Music From The Miramax Motion Picture The fear of loneliness, a hope for romance, the occasional pang of moody nostalgia--it's all found in the light romance of Next Stop Wonderland. But few of Wonderland's plot devices work quite as convincingly at portraying these themes as the movie's soundtrack. Filled with the c...	Bossa Nova: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1999 Film) No other musical import has seduced Americans like the suave syncopations of the bossa nova and the samba, with their gentle blend of West Coast jazz, Afro-Brazilian rhythms, and Portuguese lyrics. This soundtrack makes an excellent bookend to the soundtrack of the late-1950s fil...	Nova Bossa: Red Hot on Verve More than merely a variant on the traditional samba beat, the bossa nova has had a rich life since it emerged in Rio de Janeiro in the late 1950s. It was introduced to American audiences by returning jazz musicians, including guitarist Charlie Byrd, who shared some its most famou...	Tortilla Soup This eminently enjoyable soundtrack album gathers together a multigenerational collection of artists whose roots span South America, the Caribbean, Europe, and Africa, underscoring the rich, dizzying variety of music that all too often simply gets labeled "Latin."

3.5 stars if I could
Good music, easy to listen to a few times but not over and over like some of the pagode, more Bossa Nova.

Woman on Top CD Review
I just saw the movie "Woman on Top" and it was a wonderful, sexy movie. I loved the music so much, I purchased the CD. Love listening to it.

No This Isn't a Porn Movie
Just a great slice of Brazil. First time I heard this, was at a restaurant in winter in Alaska (of all places). The music just seemed to warm the room. Didn't quite take me away to those sugar sand beaches, but yet.. the gentle samba and jazz with a hint of sexiness hit the spot. So much so that I had to hound the waitress to know what music was playing. It's a great collection for anytime you wanna feel that feeling. You know, the one that says, "life is really pretty cool, you just gotta flow with it".

Just perfect
For that special occassion with that special person there is nothing that can beat this CD

Sexy and Mellow Brazilian Musical CD...Lovely!
I saw the movie "Woman on Top" recently and just LOVED the music in the movie, along with the movie itself.... Therefore, I immediately bought the CD, to recapture the romantic mood of the movie. Well, I was not disappointed in the CD at all. It is quite mellow and sexy at the same time---just like the movie. For those that have not seen the movie, I would describe it as a "Fantasy Romance" movie. The music fits the style of the movie beautifully. This CD can be enjoyed while cooking any meal, & with a good glass of fine wine in hand. Get ready to sway to the soft Brazilian sounds! This CD will sound better and better , the more times you play it! That's the effect it has had on me.
