Album Intro：
Bossa nova has a deceptively easy-on-the-ear feel. The harmonic twists and turns, the compact rhythmic variations, the tricky melodies all seem smoothed out by the whispering of the words, the soft touch. In moving beyond bossa nova, singer, guitarist, percussionist, and songwriter Vinicius Cantuária takes a similar strategy. Working with an impressive group of guests, including Laurie Anderson, Bill Frisell, Arto Lindsay, Sean Lennon, Nana Vasconcelos--the list is long--Cantuária offers music that reveals itself bit by bit, in the details. His opening 'Amor Brasileiro,' a bossa nova, includes a quirky guitar and a Milesian trumpet; 'Maravilhar' suggests a sly tribute to Getz/Gilberto. Every piece has a peculiar twist, and the overall effect is at once familiar and fresh: the urgency of 'Sanfona'; the slightly sinister, obsessive 'Retirante'; the slightly off-kilter 'Aviso do Navegante.' The music is easy on the ear, all right, but you will want to take a closer listen--it is worthy. --Fernando Gonzalez
