If someone agrees with my comments about some other records or artists, then they might stand a pretty good chance of finding a Nascimento album they will also enjoy, even if they have already heard several that they hated. I don't expect everyone to agree with what I say, I just want to contribute to a dialog about music and art, and to help other people find music they might like. By contrast, I also listen to a lot of American country and rock music, but I don't like country and rock music that is poorly written or soullessly produced. I've got most of his albums, and one day I'll try to go through them and update your records. Your site is refreshing, because most Brazilan pop was real crap, and crap in any language is crap, regardless of the nonsense your Brazilan critic tells you about having to know a language to understand music.
Good music is great in any tongue, schmaltz is schmaltz.
That said, there's lots of great Brazilian stuff too, two of my faves being Powell's 'Tempo Feliz', and Zelia Barbosa's old Monitor recording of protest songs from the sertao. I'm a part time musician in a dance band, playing all kinds of brazilian as well as international music for weddings, graduate parties, carnival, and so on. I appreciate your efforts on explaining brazilian music, it's great to see someone in USA who cares. I agree that she's a pop singer. Martinho da Vila should never be compared to Barry White.
