Dear Forum members,
IMHO opinion the Sergio Mendes´ ARARA 1989 album is a very fine album and not available anymore at the usual recordstores.
The album marks the first appearances of the singers Kevyn Lettau along with Angie Jaree.
Gracinha Leporace has also a prominent role in the album and Siedah Garret is lead vocalist on Sarara the Gilberto Gil composition from his own Nightingale Elektra 1979 Sergio Mendes produced album.
The album has some fine moments, such as Nightlife, Balafon, Cinnamon and Clove, Keep this heart and The Island.
The remake of Mas que nada with the for me unknown singer Ana Della Espriella is a good crafted track but the original can never be topped.
Guitarist Dann Huf and Alan Pasqua on keys are heavingly involved and Dori Caymmi set the groove with is impeccable guitar work and his arrangments along with Sergio arrangments of course.
In general I like the ballads more than the uptempo songs.
All the Best,
Aqua Do Brasil
