Average Rating:
 Rating: - The bossa BibleThe best Gilberto album (one of the best Brazilian albums of all time), stripped down to his voice, his guitar, and light hi-hat/percussion. It's sublime, it's enduring and timeless, it's a desert-island disc, it has opened the ears of musicians and fans alike for many years. Stop reading and buy it. Rating: - mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....................!luscious. exquisite. to me this music is sexual. erotic. sensual to the extreme, tenderness, sweetness, the body in its joy, as in pure happiness, lovemaking. This album has brought me to tears more than once, tears of pleasure, yearning and joy. so I am gushing. I don't care. Listen with your heart and with your skin.
