Wonderful MPB album by the novice singer
Giselle Martine. Covering a repertoire of old classics ("Linda Flor" by Luiz Peixoto, Henrique Vogeler, Cândido Costa, and Marques Porto, with special guest
Chico Buarque), Cuban music ("Supõe" by
Silvio Rodriguez in the
Chico Buarque version), energetic sambas ("Com a Perna No Mundo" and "O Que É O Que É," both by
Gonzaguinha), canções ("Diamantes," Jota Maranhão), Giselle affirms herself in the exigent pantheon of Brazilian interpreters, surrounded by excellent musicians and arrangements, revealing one of the best new talents in Brazil. ~ Alvaro Neder
