Album Notes & Community Reviews

Propelled by massive Hollywood film success, this collection introduced a highly theatrical, commercialized interpretation of Brazilian rhythms to North American audiences. The vocalist's rapid-fire delivery and immense charisma radiate through the lively, upbeat arrangements. The release sparked an intense, widespread cultural fascination with Latin American aesthetics in the United States.
