This release (issued by BMG International for the Brazilian market) is a collection of vintage Tropicalia, bossa nova, and MPB recordings by some of the movements' greatest voices. Tracks from
Tom Zé,
Gilberto Gil,
Caetano Veloso,
Maria Bethânia, and
Gal Costa are included, with
Zé's perhaps being the strongest, if only because his dogged eclecticism and unique vocal delivery always make his music stand out. But this is a matter of opinion, as all the songs on
Eu Vim da Bahia are entertaining.
