"Congratulations to Kufala Records . A Great job !! Incredible release.
This is an 'Authentic live album ' that capture the real concert feel, real concert atmosphere. Not a fake live album with a lot of overdubs,studio manipulation.
The previous review says: High-Quality CD-R ,but I think is a little mistake. Not a CD-R , this is a real double CD manufactured by 'Cd Forge' FActory pressed cd. Yes, I agree , High -quality recording.
Cd 1 ( 4 long tracks -total 40 minutes long) is improvised oriented with a hipnotic version of Gilberto Gil's Prossisão . Absolutely incredible !! Great Vinicius , great band !!
CD 2 is song oriented , I think.
Just one more thing : Buy it !! A wonderful and sincere concert,from an original and authentic artist.

An adventurous Brazilian avant-popster... live in concert

"A superb 2-CD set capturing Brazilian multi-instrumentalist Vinicius Cantuaria at his adventurous best, in a live performance with percussionist Paulo Braga and others backing him up in a long, leisurely set. Cantuaria covers a wide range of material -- several Caetano Veloso tunes, a couple by Jobim, some Cantuaria originals (including one cowritten with David Byrne), and a spooky opening version of Gilberto Gil's "Procissao." The dynamic and stylistic range is impressive, and gives a good sense of what this guy is capable of... nice stuff, though maybe a little more "out there" and challenging than his studio albums. Like other Kufala releases, these are high-quality CDRs, but for Cantuaria fans, this'll be a must-have item. Recommended!"

"This band has good musicians overall - but they sound like they would've been a bit better with a little more rehearsal time... Vinicius' studio efforts are so flawless and fresh - the calrity just amazing - that this live effort fails to live up to its promise. Not to mention that most of these tunes can be found on other studio albums.
The musicians on his studio albums are top notch as well. Start there first..."
