"Marco Figueira has all the right things going for him on this aptly named recording, where he brings into play several of the streams that flow into Brazilian music. Figueira made New York City his home since 1988, and he's played with several of the best-known musicians of the genre. Some of them join him here, augmenting the core band of Paulo Andre Tavares (acoustic and electric guitars), Sergio Brandao (bass) and Paulo Braga (drums, percussion).
Figueira has a voice that flits into the soul of a song. He knows how to touch on the emotive pulse and wrap himself around the lyrics. He brings in a balmy air on "Corcovado. The warmth that floats from his voice is given impetus, and contrast, by Helio Alves, whose piano takes a brighter line—and by Hendrik Meurkens, who snuggles his harmonica into the pulse set by Figueira.
Besides Jobim, Figueira includes "Fieto Nos, a percussive delight from the songbook of Milton Nascimento. It is a happy rave-up, Figueira singing with carefree passion with Tavares adding sparkling melodic lines on the acoustic guitar. The group carouses on the upbeat "Vem Ca, which sways with a graceful abandon, the hypnotic rhythm flexed by the percussion and Hiram Bullock's fluid electric guitar.
The resonance and the warmth of Brazilian music are winningly captured by Figueira on Brazilliance." Jerry D'Souza (All About Jazz, 03.02.2007)

"Singer, guitarist and songwriter Marco Figueira was born in Carangola, a small town in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. His love of music found its expression early on, when he began to sing and play guitar at the age of eight. In 1988, Marco fulfilled a long-held dream of moving to New York City. It was here that he quickly established himself as both a solo performer and bandleader, playing for a devoted following in a wide variety of venues. As it has for so many musicians over the years, New York afforded Marco the chance to study and play with some of the top performers in Brazilian and American jazz. He studied guitar with Paulo André Tavares, Romero Lubambo and Paul Meyers, and voice with Datevik Hovanesian." Adminon (09.05.2004)
