Great CD
Papetti | Mexico City | 09/27/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Actually this CD would be more like 4 1/2 stars and not because there's something wrong with it, just because is not as good as Yutaka's previous 2 CDs; however, to other musician's standards, this would be a superb recording, no doubt.
Yutaka manages to come up with a great CD full of the same great treats he's got to offer like great keyboard playing, koto and his vocals, which in this CD become more abundant; and a great addition to that skill is song number 5 "Esta Que Arde la Noche" where Yutaka sings in almost-perfect Spanish; we knew his English and Portuguese abbilities, but his efforts in Spanish are very pleasing.
Anyway, last thing I'd like to add is the usual list of great guests Yutaka invited for this great recording, both form the U.S. and Brazil:
- Yutaka Yokokura: Keyboards, Acoustic Piano, Koto, Vocals, Songwritter, Producer
- Abraham Laboriel: Bass Guitar
- Carlos Vega: Drums
- Ivan Lins: Vocals
- Armando Marcal: Percussions
- Nathan East: Bass Guitar
- Michael Shapiro: Drums
- Luis Conte: Percussions
- Vin D'Onofrio: Guitars
- Gracinha Leporace: Vocals
- Rique Pantoja: Keyboards, Programming
- Ricardo Silveira: Guitars
- Pauline Wilson: Vocals
- Vinnie Colaiuta: Drums
- Toninho Horta: Acoustic Guitar
etc.
etc.
etc.
Get it while it's available; you'll love it.............."
