CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com's Best of 2000 Virginia Rodrigues's sophomore album, Nos, is the sort of session that sends chills up the spine--and a warm gust straight to the soul. Her version of Bahian music employs the Brazilian region's percussive traditions in almost subterranean ways so that her voice can soar across the top of the rhythms. There's a mysticism and spiritual core to Nos that's of course connected deeply to Bahian traditions but has global relevance. --Andrew Bartlett Similar CDs

CD ReviewsThe Question J. Prager | Cleveland, OH | 02/11/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Has anyone considered that maybe she doesn't "want" to swing? I hate to break it to some people out there, but there are other types of music than jazz. I love jazz, but this is a wonderful singer from brazil, not some arrogant jazz diva. She doesn't swing huh? Well she also doesn't yodel, can you imagine that, SHE DOESN'T YODEL? Same problem as her first cd, no yodeling. And there are no fat electronic breaks either. Man, this cd is just no good. Anyways, enough sarcasm. Her voice is amazing, and if you are branching out into world music and want to hear some interesting arrangements and a unique singer, then I recommend this cd. If you want swing go get some Miles Davis. If you just happen to be open enough for non-swing music (imagine that) then this is a good cd. I'm pretty sure Mozart didn't swing either. Is it to his discredit?" Truly Unique Experience K. Rugg | Alexandria, VA USA | 01/15/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "I first heard Virginia's voice, although I didn't know who it was, over the closing credits of a phenomenal Italian film called "A Key to His House". Without knowing any better, I thought the person singing was a man, with an extraordinarily buttery tone. I had to know who it was. After a trip to IMDB and its message board, I found out the vocalist was Virginia Rodrigues. Thanks to everyone for helping connect the dots! (And you should all see this movie.) The track over the closing credits is "10-11: Deus do Fogo e da Justica". "Nos" is unique in that Virginia's telling stories -- rich pieces of history. So thanks to the producers for including the lyrics in English. Tops on this side is track #2, "Uma Historia de Ifa," -- achingly beautiful and a poetic tribute to a long-lost civilization. If you've always been partial to the mezzo-soprano or contralto qualities of the female voice; i.e., tones you can wrap around yourself like a warm blanket, then you'll be in 7th heaven with Virginia's style. And if you're a fan of other unique female voices like Lisa Gerrard and Mary Fahl, you'll want to have Virginia in your collection. " Amazing Paul In Sacramento | Sacramento, CA | 04/24/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "AMAZING is the only word that I can use to describe how wonderful Viriginia Rodrigues' voice is. I first heard her in the closing credits in a wonderful movie, Le Chiavi di Casa. This movie is another must. Virginia Rodigues now has a fan for life!"
