Pano pra Mangas

by Alvaro Neder The fourth solo album by Rosa Passos, this release has her splendid little, delicate, and swinging voice joined on a track by Chico Buarque and on another by Ivan Lins ("Abajur lilás," written by Passos , Ivan, and Fernando de Oliveira). Almost all the tunes are sambas, ranging from the lyrical to mid-tempo. On this album, she covers mostly her own compositions, after having recorded Curare, where she interpreted great classics. The band is excellent, with some musicians from Chico Buarque's own supporting group.
