The first solo album by the former actress Da£de, 34, brings Northeastern cocos and emboladas in a conveniently marketable funk package with samplers and drum machines. "Vida sertaneja" (Patativa do Assar‚), "Chove chuva" (Jorge Ben, with an welcomed sax solo), folkloric themes (with the genuine cantador Miguel Bezerra), the hit "Hoje eu quero sair s¢" (Lenine/M£ Shebabi/Caxa Aragao) and other beautiful songs are delivered in a straightforward dancing concept, providing for a good introduction of the Brazilian repertory for youngsters. ~ Alvaro Neder

Option (5-6/97, p.100) - "...Hints of reggae, fusion and '70s soul only add to the fun....effortless swing and beguiling melodies that overcome any language barriers..."
