Reviews:
Almost my favorite putumayo cd
Like the name of this review, it is almost my favorite one. I am extremely partial to their lounge cd's and this one comes in 3rd place of the best ones. Only Euro lounge and then world lounge are a bit better in the sense I can listen to them over and over for a week straight when driving (alternating for 1 radio station to the cd). But I can do the with this cd as well. Just depends on my mood. It is totally worth buying.
Continuing a fine tradition...
I love Putumayo, and this CD continues that tradition. My only wish is that Putomayo would put more minutes of music on each CD...
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 the "Playground" titles, too.
Fun
Once you get past the ridiculous stiffness (on some tracks) of what can only be Japanese singing mixing into smooth modern lounge beats, its a really great album.
Brazilian Artists Represent
Seductive Brazilian melodies is a under statement this album "Putumayo Presents Brazilian Lounge" is perfect work music and also driving music. What a marvelous group of artists to introduce anyone new to world music too.
Excellent!
