There is so much to love about Chico Buarque, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. IF YOU LIKE ALL Chico Buarque’S SONG GO FOR IT! three years ago, Chico Buarque briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Sonho Impossl (The Impossible Dream)”. Chico Buarque and Maria Bethania is not something you should pass up.
The opening track Sonho Impossl (The Impossible Dream) is very much like you would expect from other albums. The song Sinal Fechado ending is my favorite… so catchy! Sem Fantasia presents the gorgeous mix of instruments on Chico Buarque and Maria Bethania. Sem Aar make listening to Chico Buarque like being in some sort of time warp. Com Aar E Com Afeto is the album’s biggest hit, I think. Simply the finest work ever from this multi-talented singer. This is the most melodic ambitious and satisfying track in Chico Buarque and Maria Bethania. Chico Buarque breathes new life into the music in Gota d’ua. Tanto Mar [Instrumental] is a song you cannot help but think about at odd moments in your day. Foi Assim motivates you to get up and do something to improve your life and the life of others. Put Flor da Idade into car stereo for your highway driving Bem Querer is a great song to contemplate the modern music and what it really is all about. Cobras E Lagartos - Check out that bassline! Some of the arrangements found on Chico Buarque and Maria Bethania are surprisingly edgy. Vocal harmonies in this track are great and song structure is just right. In Vai Levando the light shines equally on lyrics, vocals and instrumentation. Noite Dos Mascarados one of the best in my collection.
