Review

Rolling Stone (2/18/99, pp.60-61) - "...the soul on display here is that of contemporary Brazil, embodied by Virginia Rodrigues' extraordinary range and warm, solid voice..."
Spin (12/98, pp.174-175) - 7 (out of 10) - "...This [is] Afro-Brazilian history as musical fever-dream--spooky, sexy, and expansively cinematic..."
Entertainment Weekly (9/25/98, p.106) - "...On her debut album, the Brazilian vocalist alternates traditional weepy ballads with slinky bossa nova hip shakers and rubbery Tropicalismo jams that feature the cream of Brazil's musical royalty, including Gilberto Gil and Milton Nascimento." - Rating: A-
The Wire (1/99, p.57) - "...Rodrigues' singing is imbued with an astounding lucidity and innate spiritual authority....a rare, raw talent."
JazzTimes (8/00, pp.87-8) - "...A joyous expression of carnival spirit and spiritual appeals to the orishas...of her Candomble religion. In the mix are touches of American soul and gospel inflections..."
Dirty Linen (4-5/99, p.73) - "...a stunningly pure and moving voice....[an] exquisite recording."
