Just waiting for you :), 11 Jan 2005
Carlinhos Brown, Arnaldo Antunes and Marisa Monte are well-known contemporary Brazilian artists who had never made a cd together, until "Tribalistas". They met almost by chance in March 2001 in Salvador de Bahía (Brazil) and composed quite a few songs. Some of those songs were recorded by them a year later, and this album is the result of that great effort. In my opinion, "Tribalistas" is the kind of album you cannot help but enjoy, even if you don't understand Portuguese (the language in which these artists sing). This cd blends the different styles and voices of the artists that participate in it, and the final result is awesome, filled with rhythm and intensity. Personally, I liked many of these songs, but my favourites are probably "Carnavália" (a song that makes me think of the Brazilian carnival, "Vem pra minha ala que hoje a nossa escola vai desfilar, vem fazer história que hoje é dia de glória neste lugar, vem comemorar, escandalizar ninguém, vem me namorar vou te namorar também, vamos pra avenida, desfilar a vida, carnavalizar"), "Passe em casa" ("Passam pássaros e aviões e no chão os caminhões, passa o tempo, as estações, passam andorinhas e verões") and "Ja sei namorar" ("Tô te querendo como ninguém, tô te querendo como Deus quiser, tô te querendo como te quero, tô te querendo como se quer"). If you are really interested in the lyrics and you can't speak Portuguese, you can either search for a translation or learn Portuguese :) I believe that Brown, Antunes and Monte have made an excellent cd in this, their first collaboration, and that you will be lucky to have it. On the other hand, you may like only some songs, so just in case try to check it out in a store before buying it. On the whole, I think you should at least listen to it, and reach your own decision. "Tribalistas" might have some of your future favourite songs, just waiting for you :) Belen Alcat
