Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0089408367724 Label: Telarc Manufacturer: Telarc MPN: 83677 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Telarc Release Date: May 20, 2008 Studio: Telarc Editorial Review: Album Description: In her native Brazil, Rosa Passos is known and loved as "a feminine João Gilberto." For a singer/songwriter who carries the soulful cool of bossa nova into a new age, there can be no higher compliment.

This time she comes with her known repertoire however her voice is so precise and soft in each verse and is followed by beautiful and elaborate instruments . The cd might sound slow at first , but if you let it play in full you will see how elaborate and sophisticated the cd is . She has recorded some of those songs before but now they come filled with rich instrumental solos . It's a record that you can put it to play in your room and ...

Rosa's voice is simply one of the most beautiful musical instruments on the planet. When world-renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma first discovered Rosa's music, he wrote to her and said `I've fallen in love with your voice...' - he later played on her 2004 release, AMOROSA, and the two of them have since worked on other projects together. ...
