"The younger generation of interpreters and composers of música brasileira are keeping Bossa Nova alive, Afro Baile's "I Love Bossa Nova" is a wonderful example of this nova-bossa-nova. This CD is definitely worth adding to your collection"

"Some of the best cuts in the album are the exquisite "Vidigal" which includes the gorgeous voice of Vanessa Pinheiro; "Constatacao" by Ana Cascardo, which blends samba guitar and percussion with a jazz combo; Malu Von Kruger's "Meu Rumo" where we find creative acoustic and electric guitar work combined with Brazilian percussion; "Cantos e Contos," which introduces the fascinating vocals of Maira Martins; and "Uma quase valsa para Horacio" by Daniela Rezende, which blends jazz guitar with Indian tabla and konakol."
