"When I am spending this kind of $ on an imported CD, without having heard it, I get a little nervous in view of some past bad choices. Rest assured, there is not a bad track on it. The selection of material, from Stevie Wonder to Lennon to Sting, while not Brazilian, seems written for a samba beat as performed by Ono and Deodato. The material is mostly upbeat, rare in this post 9/11 world, but serves as a needed antidote to some of the craziness. The music is also exceptionally well produced, and plays well without any boost in bass or treble even on my car stereo. It will make your world a prettier place."

A Tropical Musical Breeze !!

"Get out the blender & the Margharita Mix. Put on your sun glasses, press play and lean back in a beach chair and be prepared for images of blue oceans, tropical breezes and palms. This import is a littly on the pricey side but well worth the purchase price. A wonderful mix of Brazilian sounds that'll transform any drab cocktail party into an atmosphere of tropical delight!"
