Great CD - I especially loved Watashi, their Japanese song. The classic Garota de Ipanema (Girl from Ipanema in English) is okay too.

Nosso Mundo

by: Trio Esperanca

Release Date March 30, 1998
The trio form is quaint, reminding me of the 40's, 50's, 60's polyphonics in melodies. But this is no antiquated style. Esperança impresses quietly with surprising harmonies, impeccable technique and execution and a good variety. The diversity of repertoire is so good that often you only realize that they are unaccompanied (a capela) after having heard a song for the 4th or 5th time. The Brasilian rythms are fun throughout the album. Excellent!

Serie Bis: Jovem Guarda

by: Trio Esperanca

Release Date October 16, 2007
On of the better CDs in this "Bis" series of Brazilian pop from the '60s. This vocal trio was pretty perky and much more consistent than other bands in the "Jovem Guarda" teen scene. Cover tunes include "Georgy Girl", "Downtown" and "My Boy Lollipop" (which was a favorite in Brazil), all done with a nice twist of samba... Probably the funniest cover song is their version of "Blame It On The Bossa Nova" which was kind of a kitschy novelty song up north. This 2-CD set goes into their later work in '70s, but mostly sticks to the early recordings from the 1960s. It's cute!
