Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Da Lata--brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Chris Franck and superstar DJ Patrick Forge--first appeared on the scene in about 1997 with a record for UFO's Brownswood label in Japan. Since then, the project has had a slightly chequered history but includes remix work for Brazilian heavyweights like Carlinhos Brown and a cover of Edu Lobo's "Ponteio", the latter of which raised their profile even more. Chris and Franck are joined by Brazilian vocalist Liliana Chachian and Portuguese percussionist Oli Albergaria Savill to finally bring us an album worth waiting for. With an intelligent understated take on production and a dominant focus on instrumentation and traditional sounds, Songs From The Tin is quite amazing in its scope and lilting stance. The intricate Latin rhythms are infused with an unshakeable positivity and embellished by the lush vocals of Chachian. Da Lata's brand of Latin fusion is without doubt one of the most authentic and certainly one of the best.--Paul Sullivan

4.0 out of 5 stars haunting vocals, intricate rhythms... simply beautiful., 24 Jun 2001
By A Customer
I was given this album by a friend who knew my like of Afro Celt Sound System, and other examples of what I call "world music synthesis" such as p. gabriel's "passion," etc. The first time I heard the song "Cores" from 'Songs from the Tin', I was hooked. I later read that a reviewer thought the strings were mixed too loudly, but I disagree - if anything, they reinforce the sweet poignancy of the slowing tempo at the end of the song. It is lilting, lush, and full of a knowing soul... how else can I describe it? Other standouts, in my mind, are the graceful guitar of "Rain Song," the playful trombone in "Indo," (my four-year old daughter's favourite) the syncopating circular rhythm of "Inae," and Liliana Chachian's eerie wailings at the beginning of "Binti;" reminiscent of Kate Bush at her best. Chachian's vocals range from supple and undulating to full of gusto... but always shaped to the song, understated, paced with lightness and grace.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eurovision Songs? I think not., 2 Oct 2000
By A Customer
Ever since Da Lata's astoudning remix of A Friend From Rio's "Para Lennon and McCartney" I have waited impatiently for this CD. Following the release of "Pra Manha", a storming dancefloor number, two or three years ago the excitement grew. Although the album as a whole may not blow your mind away, it requires several Sunday afternoon listening sessions to appreciate the "real" music behind Da Lata. From the ethereal opening through to the singles, "Pra Manha" and "Rio Vida" their unique take on all things latino never falters. It is a mellow album with some simple, beautiful moments. Look no further than "Cores" for the mark of genius.

It may not appeal to everyone - a recent friend commented on how some of the songs sounded like Eurovision Song Contest entries (a wildly insane accusation). For those looking for something different but not overtly contemporary and pretentious look no further than these raw, sun drenched tracks.

4.0 out of 5 stars The return of decent melodies, 30 May 2003
There is something strange about how a woman singing a beautiful melody can give you such an enormous sense of well-being. Does anyone else think that truly lovely melodies are getting rarer and rarer? It's as if all the good ones have been written, and it is becoming more difficult for song writers to come up with new ones.
This album contains lots of beautiful melodies, all of them sung gloriously well. The musicianship is top class too. Brilliant latin guitars, infectious beats, just great. My favourites are Pra Maha, Cores and Rain Song. Each tune oozes quality and class. You just melt into your sofa listening to it.
