For her debut,
Adriana Capparelli chose one of the best MPB lyricists to pay tribute to:
Aldir Blanc.
Capparelli mainly explores the suffering overtones of the samba-canção, canção, and modern bolero (which are a perfect vehicle for
Blanc's ironic chronicles of the dramatic/insignificant day-to-day urban life), with passages through ballads ("Eu e a Música," with English lyrics), blues ("Patrulhando"), hot samba ("A Nível De..."), and the vigorous pulse of "O Cavaleiro e os Moinhos" (where she shows her strong influence by
Elis Regina, who recorded the song previously). The album closes with the title track interpreted courageously and passionately in an a cappella rendition. Surrounded by top musicians,
Capparelli confirms herself as an intense, expressive, and sincere artist with this excellent album. ~ Alvaro Neder
