(5 out of 5 stars)

"Alceu Valença is by far one of the most impressive artists in Brazil, with an unique ability to combine the purest Brazilian music, sounds and folkloric lyrics. In "Sete Desejos", Valença blends an array of fantastic rhythms, with songs that go from the tropical smoothness and sensuality of "La Belle de Jou", "Tesoura do Desejo" and "Junho" to the irresistible beat of the forro and xaxado. It's a taste of everything in typical Brazilian music, even if you don't understand portuguese (but I'll tell you, is worth it to find someone who can translate the lyrics!!). It's a must listen to those seeking to know more about Brazilian and world music!"
