"This Caroling collection has become a Christmas tradition in Brazilian homes from Winnipeg to Rio.
A Brasilian Christmas? Even the liner notes entertain with a brilliant portrayal of Christmas traditions as seen through Brasilian eyes.
Here’s an album that’s a refreshing change from the usual holiday fare. It’s a caroling collection featuring many of Brazil’s top MPB and jazz stars. And it has become a Christmas tradition in ‘Brazilian’ homes from Winnipeg to Rio.
Recorded in Rio de Janeiro, this CD was produced by Oscar Castro-Neves and Miles Goodman for their new Astor Place Records in 1996. Notably, this was the label’s sole release before Goodman’s untimely passing before its October 15th launch day.
Because of this, availability became limited. As a result, A Brasilian Christmas passed into legal limbo. No additional pressings of this remarkable and unique album were made.
So, what is this album like? Here’s what to expect.
There are no knock-off or chintzy cover versions here. Each of these 13 tracks carries a Brazilian flair that’s perfect for holiday gatherings. The artists benefit from thoughtfully crafted arrangements that perfectly showcase their individual traits.
There’s Joyce singing in English on ‘Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas’. Then, Dori Caymmi does likewise on ‘The Christmas Song’. And João Bosco offers up scatty, new lyrics in Portuguese for ‘I’ll Be Home For Christmas’.
A surprise gift comes courtesy of Ivan Lins’ rendition of ‘White Christmas’. It’s because Lins’ version is so well suited to the Brazilian’s style that you might think that this is what composer Irving Berlin had in mind all along.
There are inspiring instrumentals, too. The roster includes guitarists Ricardo Silveira Toninho Horta and Oscar Castro-Neves. Saxophonist Leo Gandleman and keyboardist Gilson Peranzzetta provide that musical balance on several songs.
Background vocals are an angel’s chorus of Lois Albez, Denise Dumont, and a young Bebel Gilberto.
Today, a well-done Brazilian Christmas CD remains as rare as snow in Ipanema. But, that’s why A Brasilian Christmas has become such a treasure for so many of us at year’s end." Connect Brazil (01.11.1996)
